My reply to Times of India

My reply to Times of India Editor on the Article "Sri Lanka steps up security after anti-Muslim attack by Buddhist hardliners" published in Times of India dated 29/3/2013."

Toi
The Editor,
This is Mahendra Jadhav(Advocate) from Hyderabad.
This mail is with regards to the article "Sri Lanka steps up security after anti-Muslim attack by Buddhist hardliners" published in Times of India dated 29/3/2013.
I am surprised to see that the national news paper like Times of India who has lot of respect among the world readers have published such article which could spread world-wide hatred among two different religions.
Irrespective of the ongoing trouble going in Srilanka, as a FOURTH PILLAR of Democracy, a news paper should not publish or name any particular religion if such incidents happens. We come across many such incidents in India almost everyday. Do we name any particular caste/religion after the incident..? recently in Dhule-Maharashtra serious communal riots occurred but no media have noticed that incident nor tried to focus on it. Was it not your responsibility to highlight the pros and conns about the Dhule incident and many such incidents happens in India.?
I am also surprised that HOW CAN A NEWS PAPER COULD PUBLISH SUCH NEWS WHICH CAN SPREAD WORLD WIDE RELIGIOUS HATRED AMONG TWO RELIGIONS..?
I condemn whatever is happenning in Sri Lanka internally. But it is there internal problem and we should not interfere in their internal affairs.
Sri Lanka is a sovereign country and is able to control the situation therein. Hence I strongly disappointed by the article Times of India has published on 3/29/2013.
