'TOI Lying' - Tarun Pall livid over its report on him

India Daily's blog on the crap article that Delhi Times section of The Times of India carried out has been noticed by Tarun Pall himself and commented no less than three times since this morning asking us to 'correct' it. He insists that he never called himself an 'elite' blogger as claimed by the crap article in Delhi Times. He goes further in his blog calling it a 'betrayal' by The Times of India.

Will the TOI ever respond to this now? Can it refute what Tarun is saying? If so, it would make some really interesting reading for Indian bloggers, especially Tarun Pall. Read his post on the article and you will know what lengths TOI is willing to go manipulating things when being hit as, in this case, by us.

Back to Tarun again. He is so hurt by my post that he kept on requesting me through his comments repeatedly to 'correct' it. When I went online around noon, there were 4 3 posts comments already by him. He just couldn't wait to hear from me. I am not a 24 X 7 blogger. I must say that this guy should know how to keep his emotions under control and desist from calling names and threaten. I can understand the feeling he must be having about this. But what he fails to understand that the issue should be between TOI and him and not India Daily and him. Would Tarun Pall please tell us why I should 'correct' what someone else has written about him - in this case Delhi Times?

India Daily's blog was based purely on the article in Delhi Times, it had nothing personal against Tarun himself.

We really appreciate the initiative taken by Tarun on clearing himself while exposing the lies about himself in Delhi Times. Cheers! Tarun and best of luck for the future. If you ain't an elite blogger now, you will be one day. And you shall have our full support.
