Apropos A K Bhattacharya’s column “Public sector’s unsung hero” (Raisina Hill, May 8), it was sad to learn of the death of M S Gujral. Immediately after his stint with Coal India, a leading weekly had published an interview with him. If I recall correctly, Gujral had said in the interview that the implementation of law involves some violence, and only those who can face this violence can implement the law. These words remained with us as the essence of management. A few more Gujrals would have certainly changed the face of the public sector in India. The nation has lost a true public servant.
