How BJP’s rise will impact the Northeast: This piece has been pulled down
We regret the oversight.
It was pointed to us that the piece submitted to us by freelance contributor Minakshi Bujarbaruah may have dubious sourcing. Newslaundry asked the author for the real identities of persons quoted in the article. To grant a source or statement anonymity has to be justified. Only in case of threat to job or personal safety among others can a statement be used anonymously. If there is no such danger we see no reason to keep a source anonymous or change the name. In light of this we are pulling down the article.
