Srinivasan:
Now we can start discussing , BCCI chairman 'Media conf. He said Meiyappan was only an 'enthusiast'.If that is a fact, why India Cement did not issue legal notice to Meiyappan when his Social network profile claimed he was the owner of CSK? Did the PR agency of India Cements and Srinivasan not anticipate media questions and prepare the client?
We may also discuss PR disaster faced by Kapil Sibal. While trying to save IPL chairman, the Govt walked into muddy waters. As any law about match fixing will have prospective effect, the current illegal activities will be exempt from such law. The G8vt showed undue haste in working on a new law. In this case govt PR did not anticipate media questions, Sibal cut a sorry figure.
This is what happens when PR sheds its 'guard dog' role, and accepts 'lap dog' role.

Dear Shri Srinivasan, It is an undisputed fact that PR has to be based on strong foundation of TRUTH. I recall an incident, that when 'Sanjay Gandhi' was ruling, a leading nagazine reported about Air-India having doled out a BIG contract without following usual procedure. AIR India, denied saying it never happened. Next issue of the same magazine quoited extracts from a Minutes of Board Meeting, when it was approved/passed. Further Chairman of BCCI making a public statment that 'he will fix media' is most uncalled for. Lalit Modi is now having a good laugh sitting abroad. BCCI is also not paying any TAX, as politically it was managed. It is time that activities of BCCI are brought under RTI.

Dear Mr Srinivasan,
One after the other, the floodGates of sin are being opened. Taking U turn has become quite common in every scam leaving people to repeated shocks. Disowning a key functionary is keeping the impending litigation and the judicial process in view.
Why should we take this whitewashing as an exercise of PR? Spot fixing is purely an unethical business within a game business. Denying a partner is an act of propaganda to mislead people and the authorities concerned.
If it is PR in crisis, there shall be truth and only truth. Unclean hands can not beg for justice before law and a guilty face can not wear a PR mask.
