Apropos your editorial ‘Et Tu, Chavan?’ (FPJ, 10/2), it is surprising that, for you, the so-called treachery of S.B. Chavan to his leader, P. V. Narasimha Rao, was more reprehensible than the subversion of the whole apparatus of the law of land by the Government in power. On the one hand you deplore the sycophancy of the rank and file, while on the other side you expect that Chavan should have toed the line. As far as the people of India are concerned, they are not interested in the internal power wrangling of the Congress party, as much as in how the final governance of the country is delivered by the elected representatives. Any falling apart of the coterie which misruled the nation is a net gain for the people and it should be welcomed.
