Speaking at the function, Mr Sivanandan appreciated the book written by Mr Dixit and said as a journalist he had accepted 'Mistakes' of electronic media during the coverage of last year's terrorist attack.

''Yes, we made some mistakes, but, we have done several good things during the coverage,'' he remarked. Executive editor of 'Dopar ka Saamna' Prem Shukla said Mr Dixit has done a tremendous job by writing a book on 26/11, people at large will come to know what exactly had happened and how terrorists came in.
