Times of India was conspicuous by its absence.
Suraiya, a regular contributor to the paper, has two columns, "Jugular Vein" and "Second Opinion". Today's offering did not appear in print, though it was published on the newspaper's website.
The piece was titled "
Escape goats: How to pass the buck when finding someone to blame for bungling the corona crisis". A satirical piece, it featured a conversation between a "supreme leader" and his "supreme sidekick" on how to "counter the increasingly bad press they're getting amid the rising tide of Covid cases in the country".
No points for guessing who is who.
