Let’s take a look at some of the questions that Sardesai asked.

·        What do you want Prime Minister Narendra Modi to say in his address?
·         Can one man (Narendra Modi) change India?
·         Did you pay your way for a ticket to Madison square garden?
·         Has the media been unfair to Narendra Modi?

And after considerable heckling that interrupted his broadcast, this exasperated one:
·         Did Narendra Modi teach you to behave badly?

We can’t say if Sardesai will express regret for his action, but the larger question is if he should. Common sense and the video suggest that he should. After all, for years, Sardesai has anchored prime time news shows demanding exemplary behaviour of public figures and exhorting politicians in somewhat similar situations to apologise for their acts of violence, however minor. If there was ever a chance for him to acknowledge an honest lapse of judgement, it is now. And expressing regret will not be a sign of weakness but of strength, a signal that he can be self-critical, and not just of others, and that this incident is an unfortunate aberration for someone who has always held the high moral ground.

I must say, that's a game changer.

The article mentions "Common Sense"... so I do not expect any regret or apology from Sardesai.
