Gurumurthy's problem is a press that asks too many questions, but now, more than ever, we must be vigilant against his disruptive ideas

Gurumurthy recently gave a lecture at the right-wing Vivekananda International Foundation in Delhi suggesting, among other things, that the RBI hand over the printing of money to the government. file pic
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) non-executive director S Gurumurthy is a known Muslim-baiter, but I wouldn't be surprised if he secretly admired Saudi Crown Prince Mohd bin Salman.
After all MBS, as he's known (and lately as Mr Bone Saw), is suspected to have ordered the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a suspicion confirmed by the USA's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recently. The CIA told US lawmakers in closed hearings it had phone conversations between an MBS aide and one of the 15 on the assassination team at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, on September 28 (Khashoggi went there for the paperwork needed to marry his girlfriend). MBS himself telephoned a suspect in the lead-up to the assassination.
