No breakthrough

Sir — This refers to the article, “Hollow cry of the dispossessed elite”, (September 19) by Sandhya Jain. Being familiar with the self-styled historian Ramachandra Guha’s prejudices against the Sangh Parivar, one is not aghast with his accusation that “It is very likely her (Gauri lankesh’s) murderers came from the same Sangh Parivar from which the murderers of Dabholkar, Pansare and Kulburgi came”.
The fact that Guha’s charge came within a day of the journalist’s killing underlines his utter irresponsibility. Over two weeks have passed since the Congress Government in Karnataka ordered a probe and still, there has been no evidence, not even arrests. A few other liberal activists, namely, MM Kulburgi, Narendra Dabholkar and Govind Pansare, were murdered similarly in the last two years, though, their cases have made no headway. Yet, our supposedly great, knowledgeable historian, acting as a prosecutor, jury and judge, has already given his verdict.
