Partisan action

Sir, - The incisive Editorial, `Cynical Manoeuvres' (July 31), has brought out the true intentions of the Central Government in transferring the three senior police officers involved in the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's arrest. So palpably blatant are the mala fides of the Government's move that even a simpleton will not be hoodwinked by the claim that the transfers were decided upon in the ordinary course. In fact, speaking in general

terms, prudence would demand keeping in abeyance even the genuinely contemplated course of action.

By its action, the Centre besides threatening to undermine the framework of Centre-State relations would sully its own image, projecting itself as not being capable of objective thinking and balanced judgment and as being influenced by partisan considerations.
