The Hindu (12 April 2014), on its front page, has published a news story ‘‘Aam Admi Party plans to ‘do a Delhi’ in Varanasi’’ pasting photo of Justice Rajindar Sachar as a member of the team that plans to go to Varanasi in support of Arvind Kejriwal. In this connection the Socialist Party would like to state that neither the story-writer Mohammad Ali nor the leadership of AAP had talked to Justice Sachar on the issue of supporting Arvind Kejriwal in Varanasi.
Justice Sachar is a member of the Socialist Party (India) which strongly opposes the capitalist ideology propagated by AAP and its nexus with the communal forces. He, personally, has published articles criticizing the non-serious, loud and anti-Constitution politics of AAP in national dailies and journals. The question of his being a party to the AAP campaign does not arise.
The Socialist Party hopes that the editorial team of The Hindu will take notice of this mischievous act and publish a denial.
