The Culture of Lies
IT doesn't make sense. Whatever persuaded Rajiv Gandhi to behave like a naughty school boy and cover himself with blatant lies and openly contradictory statements in parliament. The flouting of constitutional norms is even graver. Did he imagine that the president, like the sycophantic Con- gress(I) mob, would remain silent? Or was he about to apologise privately and got caught on the wrong foot?
