London blasts

Many stories appeared in Indian newspapers about the way politicians in UK and the British media reacted after the blasts in London. Even the opposition leaders were composed and spoke in a measured way unlike in India where no sooner did the terrorists struck at Ayodhya than every
politician was ready to cash in.
The coverage of Indian Express was exceptional, particularly, the analyses. Ashok Malik was outstanding. His piece on the edit page will be remembered for long. Except Tavleen Singh, who was extremely ordinary and repetitive, the coverage of the newspaper was way ahead of others.
