How not to interview a Pakistani minister - by Barkha Dutt

NDTV’s Barkha ‘the emoter’ Dutt played right into Pakistani foreign minister Qureshi’s hands. He used NDTV as a platform to espouse the Pakistan cause in a more forceful way than if he was given the chance to give India’s Republic Day address.
Ms Dutt went in all brimstone and long earrings and was taught a mean lesson in the quickstep of political ballroom dancing.
Somebody from the government should call Prannoy Roy and explain to him that freedom of the press becomes freedom to op-press the general intelligence of the nation in Barkha Dutt’s hands. A how not-to lesson.
