S Jaipal Reddy

Death came in threes

As Information and Broadcasting Minister she was urbane, and ever mindful of the needs of a free Press, a feature of Mr Reddy’s stint in that job as well.

Forceful, genteel

Jaipal had such fluency with words that erstwhile party-colleague and bench-mate Yashwant Sinha once quipped that he spoke his own language ~ Jaipalese ~ that could be understood only after consulting a dictionary or thesaurus.
