See all tags

We have now been through our documentation and can reconfirm what Mr. Babu Gandhi is quoted for in the documentary and the report. We have also got a comfirmation from Mr. Karthik Kamalanathan, who is the assisting director of the documentary that Mr. Babu did comfirm his views expressed in the documentary in january after the release of the documentary. Since Mr. Babu does not speak english Mr. Karthik Kamalanathan has been our translator and have had the dialogue with Mr. Babu. We do not know the reason for Mr. Babu's statement, which we would have liked to ask Mr. Babu directly. This has not been possible due to Mr. Babu has not responded to our contact to him. As an independent media and research center, who works according to international Federation of Journalists’ Declaration of Principles on the Conduct of Journalists, we take this matter very seriously, but can only say that we have  documentation for everything Mr. Babu is quoted for in the documentary and report.
