Not often does the Indian media get a pat on the back for fairness and objectivity. German Ambassador to India Thomas Matussek, who served as press counsellor in the embassy over two decades ago, is however relieved to be back among friends.
The suave Matussek should know better after getting a taste of the aggressive British press in his previous stint as Berlin’s ambassador in London. The wounds are yet to heal, the envoy quipped while referring to his experience of dealing with the British media.
In a PR act just before the German president’s trip to India, he said he had never had such problems with the Indian media in the two months that he has been here as ambassador.
