Prasar Bharati CEO Jawhar Sircar has taken veteran journalist Rajdeep Sardesai to task on the social networking site Facebook, where he has posted a lengthy message in response to Sardesai’s comments on the public broadcaster at a recent book launch. Sardesai reportedly took pot shots at Prasar Bharati while talking about the challenges faced by the news and views industry. In response, Sircar wrote, “For quite some time ever since DD and AIR has improved a bit, I find furious agitation in the media because we were taken as dead and gone. Recently, for instance, I was disappointed to see Rajdeep swirling a bit too heady. Not good for health: after all, he’s my respected senior, Bhaskar Ghose’s jamai.”

Good to read all this....someone need to have told this to Sardesai....

"Good for them, but one cannot bracket all in DD or Prasar Bharati or IAS as inefficient cartoons. That would include Rajdeep’s father-in-law as well.” For the record, Bhaskar Ghose, whose daughter Sagarika is married to Sardesai, was the former director general of Doordarshan.

“Try catering to the politics of aggression every day as well as corruption, internal opposition and sabotage, try handling some scurrilous rags that defame you morning and evening, instead of lecturing the world about what’s wrong with it and giving quotable for banner headlines"

“I like Rajdeep, but enough is enough. We do not fight against the tyranny of corrupt politicians and babus to succumb to the arrogant media stars or to manipulative merchants and their stranglehold on all systems"

Being Director of DD, Bhaskar Ghosh was heavily involved to promote Congress and he even got the reward as after post retirement he got job in one such news paper where his daughter and future son and law was start working. Everyone knows that how much IBN Network helped Congress then AAP and the reason IBN biggies left the company is Ambani.
