Press Council: That cases under SC/ST Act 1989, if proven right, could mean an imprisonment of 10 years or more.
Indalit Express: But this SC/ST Act 1989 was slapped by the police after their own investigations. We didn't have anything to do with it.
Press Council: Completely true. But neither police nor you the newspaper, can decide on the validity of charges. Only courts can. Right.
Indalit Express: Hmmm...
Press Council: Your report could thus be seen as prejudicial to justice. That's why we are today face-to-face on the matter. Right.
Indalit Express: Hmmm.
Press Council: If I want to give you benefit of doubt, I will say it's been oversight.
Indalit Express: Yeah, an oversight.
Press Council: But if I want to be matter of fact, I would say you are deliberately pursuing a polarization agenda, which, if we go by the laws of land, is itself punishable for inciting communal/casteist antagonism in India. Right.
Indalit Express: Hmmm.
