Granted, the following was written by a BJP proponent, but I doubt that most Congress Party members would have more trust in Akbar.

Excerpt from "'PAKISTANI' EDITOR, MJ AKBAR OF THE ASIAN AGE"
partitionofindia.com
Date: 1/12/2002":

In this context the following letter by an upset Hindu reader is a call to all the Hindus to boycott the newspaper which is the media tool of Pakistan within India.

---------------------------

To, the Editor

The Asian Age

I have been buying "The Asian Age" for the last two and a half months. I was hoping against hope that your newspaper will be different. Unbaised in it's reporting and editorial. But it was too much to expect.

Your newspaper is one of the most baised, anti-BJP, anti-Hindu newspapers I have come across. Your editorials and guest coloumns are nothing but anti-BJP, anti-Hindu and anti-American propoganda.

I do not believe that the issue here is MJ Akbar Or Asian Age. We will be digressing if we allow our thoughts to the medium than the content. The present article has not been written by Akbar but by Brahma Chellany. He is I believe one of the more respected of Indias small strategic community. The points he raises are based on the Bill introduced in the Senate and the Congress. As an aside, this column has also be published in the International Herald Tribune. You will agree that it has no axe to grind even if I accept your characterization of Asian Age or MJ Akbar.
