dmk/christist barbarians -- after their nazi attack on subramaniam swamy calling him a 'brahmin dog', i believe led by one immanuel -- continue with their antics.
of course, the atlanticist's pakistan-lover is there to duly bless the christist/crypto-christists' assault on hindus as appropriate. (and yet one more india-pakistan-equal-equal epistle from him). this james astill is the worst bigot who has been a reporter in india, even worse, arguably, than the execrable barbara crossette:

To:
The Commissioner of Police, Chennai,
Shri Radhakrishnan.
Sub: Why was there no police in the venue of the judicial enquiry?
Mr. Commissioner, Namaskar.
I wish to register my very strong protest that there was no police inside the premises of the Justice Srikrishna Judicial Enquiry Commission constituted to look into the events of February 19.
I, Radha Rajan, Smt. Uma Anandan, Shri T Ramesh and Shri BR Haran, came to the venue on Greenway's Road to depose before Justice Srikrishna. There was great hostility to our presence.
In the afternoon a group of lawyers approached us menacingly wanting to know why we were present at the venue and who had invited us. They asked the Registrar Shri Vijayan to evict us. The Registrar tried to make them see reason and spoke persuasively but without success.
The situation was fast becoming ugly and the Registrar, instead of making sure that we were allowed to exercise our constitutional right to depose before the Commission actually asked us to leave. He asked us to give our deposition in writing which he said he would hand over to Justice Srikrishna.
The group of lawyers continued to intimidate us by asking us why we were there, in what capacity and what were we going to say to Justice Srikrishna and when we refused firmly to discuss anything with them and also politely told the Registrar that we were not leaving until we had deposed before the Enquiry Commission, the situation was tense and really ugly.
Mr. Commissioner, I am surprised that the advocates took the position that the Commission of Enquiry has been constituted only for them to depose before Justice Srikrishna with regard to the events of February 19. They did not want any one to raise the events of February 17 which alone caused February 19.
Knowing that these lawyers were capable of unleashing violence at the drop of the hat, I am surprised Sir and appalled that there was no police in the venue. The situation could have turned very violent. I am unable to understand how, when no person inside the venue had the capacity to protect ordinary citizens from these violent lawyers, is it possible to conduct a fair and impartial enquiry if these lawyers were going to frighten away individuals and groups who they thought could influence the commission in a manner detrimental to their goal.
I am sorry the police did not think it was necessary to be present to protect ordinary citizens. You have, with your absence, allowed the lawyers to control the venue and have in fact given them the authority to decide who will be present, who will depose and what will be said.
Please forgive me my strong language Sir. But after the violence in Court Hall 3 about which we came to depose before Justice Srikrishna, to be intimidated by lawyers again at the venue of the commission of enquiry, in the presence of the Registrar, makes me wonder how an entire state and its administrative mechanism can be held hostage by a few hundred lawyers who will not hesitate to unleash violence ofwhen crossed or challenged.
I register my strong protest Sir and outrage.
respectfully,
Radha Rajan.
