Did he realise that his report was fairly serious ? Answer: "Of course, I know the implications of the report. I thought I was discharging my duty in a manner I am expected to do for a fighting paper like Patriot. I was guarded in my words ..." Navhind Times of Goa did not at all appreciate Sitaram's version.
