PROF. V. SRINIVASAN LAMBASTS 'THE HINDU'

*

PROF. V. SRINIVASAN lambasts 'THE HINDU' for its uncouth and inexplicable ways in this letter addressed to readers-editor of The Hindu:

Dear Readers Editor:

It has been a very tough situation in The American College, Madurai for over a month. Several news papers and some TV Channels had given the general public good coverage of the events.The Hindu had completely ignored the issue for reasons best known to the reporting and editorial staff in Madurai and Chennai. However on page 3 of The Hindu Madurai city edition of 8th May we find two advertisements for admissions for the year 2008 - 2009 over the signature of Dr. T. Chinnaraj Joseph signed as Principal and Secretary and on page 3 of the city edition of The Hindu 11th May we find the same two advertisement over the signature of Dr. V. George Selvakumar signed as Principal-in-Charge and Secretary.

Who according to The Hindu is administering the College? Should not the Editorial staff & Manager, Advertisements who I am sure are aware of the situation through other news papers like The New Indian Express check before publishing the second advertisement? I happen to know that George Selvakumar has been under suspension as per government records and he did not receive his full pay last month. As per the Government records the Secretary of the College is Dr. T. Chinnaraj Joseph. What The Hindu has done just to earn some advertisement money is very mean.
