Express Retaliation:
Few weeks back, an Indian Express reporter was attacked by a P.M.K cousellor. The police hesitated to file a complaint. The issue died without publicity. Ten days back there was an article in the first page of the Express, reporting the political party arranging a meet of more than 1000 youth, who would take an oath all at once to "stop drinking liquor". Express had interviewed the owner of a local wine shop who confessed that the liquor sales that day was thrice the usual. Apparently, the youth took the oath in an inebriated state.
