Accidental PM
07.5.
2014
Veteran journalist and author Sanjay Baru, one time PMO
with Manmohan Singh has been in the news ever since his book Accidental PM has been released by
Penguine. Journalists have argued that it is unethical of Baru to have released
his memoirs as PMO at such a vulnerable time. Publishing houses on the other
hand have applauded Baru for writing and releasing the book at a perfect time.
I have known Sanjay Baru during my tenure with Indian
Express. He was Editor, Financial Express
and myself Editor, Screen and
therefore shared many moments together both as professionals and as individuals
and I can one thing for sure that Baru is not unethical and if he has decided
to release his book at this vulnerable time it is not out of compulsion from
anybody but total conviction. Will write more on the subject after attending
the book release today…
