PMO attacks Baru

The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on Friday came down heavily on Sanjaya Baru, accusing him of "misusing" a privileged position for commercial gain in writing a book, in which he says Manmohan Singh had been undermined by the Congress party. The PMO issued a statement that "it's an attempt to misuse a privileged position and access to high office to gain credibility to apparently exploit it for commercial gain".
