An apology for an error

CNN-IBN

On its 'India at 9' programme last night (December 16, 2010) CNN-IBN had posted viewer feedback in course of its debate on whether lobbying should be legalised. This viewer feedback was wrongly attributed to non existent Twitter accounts. We deeply regret the error and apologise for the same.

We will take all steps to ensure that this is not repeated. Other viewer comments on the same subject have been posted at our IBNLive.com website on this page.

Editor's Take on the question of whether lobbying should be legalised:

"The problem is not lobbying, it's the misuse of authority and discretionary powers. Middlemen will always exist in a corrupted and opaque system that privileges influence peddling. You can legislate lobbying, but can you legislate morality?"
