BODY:
I always assumed public relations includes some stretching of the truth, and
that politics requires distorting facts. I did not know that combining them
meant having to lie. That is what Mr. A. C. Gogna, Indian Consul (PR) does in
his letter of Feb. 28 ("India's correct borders"). I am aghast that
you printed something you knew to be untrue.
Mr. Gogna knowingly lies, when he claims "the whole of Jammu and Kashmir
belongs to India." The truth is, India continues to forcibly occupy the
disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir, it continues to ignore United Nations
resolutions for a plebiscite in the territory, and it continues its human
rights abuses of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
