Oh my god he is saying that he has to wait until the investigation to be completed...then why in many other cases before not knowing any thing the same channel is telecasting thier own stories (Recent Arushi's Murder case).
Here they have not waited till the final verdict..they showed rajesh talwar as villian.
For these journalists doing thier own job means...creating thier own stories....
Congratulations to the person who said "Minorities, particularly the Muslims, have first right over the national resources" ... this is a great win for minorities in 'secular' India!
Other great achievements of his party masters are: 1) Police in Jammu hitting/killing Hindus 2) Kashmiris not allowing even an inch of temporary shelter to Hindus 3) Arjun sing ensuring references to Hindu heros to be removed from text and replacing with Muslim heros(?) like Akbar 4) The 'honest' man losing sleep over Muslims and enjoying life over killings of Hindus ..... (the list is long)
The rampant corruption, the delayed justice delivery system,stooping down to any level to stick to chair, vertical and horizontal divisions in the society on cast and religion basis, the rampant use of money power to win elections, has all made our democracy look rediculous in the eyes of the whole world!The money being demanded by people's representetives to raise questions in assemblies and parliament,the bribes being offerred to cross vote and abstein,are all unheard of in a civilised society.Where are we heading? The misuse of CBI and IT departments for political purpose,the cuts in defence deals,thousands of suicides being forced on farmers,dont speak good of the system! Have we all forgotten our values? Why are the intellectuals silent on the rot going on in the society? Why are they indifferant to the millions of cases lying in the different courts for decades? Why do the thinkers dont open their mouths to fix responsibility and hold accountable the authorities responsible for this delay in delivery of justice in the country?Why dont they raise questions about the wealth amassed by the corrupt officials and politicians in short span in power? Even the so called TV channels never touch these important subjects affecting the day to day life of common man! They are busy hosting shows of likes of Rakhi Sawant! I think this is all happening as the society is marching towards doom and chaos!A system full of corruption and immorality! A system full of cheats, robbers,c

It is quite common and not happening in India only. Politics is always dirty independent of country. And about the values I fully agree that now there is no such kind of thing existing in India but what can anybody do. I think media is doing what they can do. I have seen that my relatives like to prefer watching news of rakhi sawant instead of viewing some common man problem realted show....What can media do if anyway at the end of the day they want to make money...it's not govenment funded organization..:)
Rajdeep is a reputed journalist and we must not forget that during the last sting operation in U.P., he was asked to personally appear in the UP Assembly. He was questioned about the authencity of the tapes and many other questions. I am not his Spokesperson, but it seems that he got a strong lesson from there that it is not wise to telecast the tapes, before the CD is verified by the competent authority. So he chose to submit the CD to the Speaker. Otherwise, just like the 3 BJP members, who are going to face the constitutional wrath, Rajdeep and his Channel would have landed in trouble too, for no mistake of his.
The only thing, which is objectionable in the whole episode, is his flambuyonant & over aggressive Anchors (who should have been in Bollywood and fill the void of 'Angry Young Man' left by Amitabh Bachchan) whose only mission is to create sensation. And that is why they declared that the Tape has been handed over, which actually was submitted much later. So, the country must understand the Constitutional position & stop attacking Rajdeep Sardesai below the belt. Chetan Upadhyaya

I doubt if Rajdeep would have the same emotions if he found you at fault in a major scam.

OK, you say him to be honest, Then why he delayed it unlike other Sting Operations they carried out or Immediate Telecast oh Tehelka Tapes to the Public when only BJP is involved, We all Know 90 % of the Journalist are either Left Leaning or Congress Leaning, bcos they are convinient for them and get better leverages for thier Business.
We Need to stop Watch Chanells liek IBN, NDTV, and Magazines and NP like India Today, Outlook, Hindu e.t.c
This clan of Burkha Dutts, Rajdeep Sardesai, Karan Thapars are all b.....s. They would never show any story which shows suffering of Hindus in India, sufferings of so-called upper castes. Read writings of Francois Gautier to know the reality of these hypocrite champions of justice. Search on Google or Rediff if you want to read his expose' on these double standard journalists and channels

You are absolutely right. I remember their coverage during Gujrat riot. 80% ofb the credit these b.........s can easily claim for their presentation. I wrote the same to them too & advised them to look for some other profession or to take a crash course at Door Darshan about journalism.
