National Post – David Akin: Now we know why Stephen Harper doesn’t like you, Indian media tells Canadian counterparts

Apparently, we — the Canadian media travelling with Prime Minister Stephen Harper this week — ruffled a few feathers during our three days here. Here is a review of our coverage written by Sarabjit Jagirdar and distributed by the Indo-Asian News Service:

Even as Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh resolved to deepen bilateral ties, the Canadian media says a nuclear deal could be risky because of terrorist threats to India’s sites. They cite the recent alert at India’s nuclear facilities as a warning to the Canadian government that is keen to clinch the deal. In their reports, the Canadian journalists, who even spell the name of one of the most known faces of the 20th century as Ghandi (for Mahatma Gandhi), have also raked up the past – that India cannot be trusted because it appropriated their nuclear technology to make nuclear bombs.

Etc. Of course, regarding the job the Indian media does, he finishes the piece:

In other news: India continues to be ranked among the most corrupt countries in the world.

Even more corrupt than Quebec! (Ba-boom!) No but seriously.
