It seems one line makes a better headline than an entire argument. @NDTV has shared several excerpts from my interview, but that hardly justifies cherry-picking this particular remark while stripping away the context in which it was made. I shall leave viewers to judge the merits of that editorial choice. Meanwhile, here are a few more of the points I made in the same conversation. -The police’s “ruthless” repression on Saturday and the “badly manhandled” protesters on Sunday. -The Congress’s role in initiating this phase of protests in Delhi from 6 October. -The extraordinary turnout of “easily lakhs” of supporters, despite the police conduct over the weekend. -The protest as “a good day for the defence of democracy”. - @RahulGandhi’s election petition and the wider legal challenge to the ECI’s handling of the SIR. When an interview is reduced to a convenient soundbite, the headline may be sharp, but the journalism falls short.
