5 questions for the 'Prannoy Roy Brigade'
by anjaneya on Jun 16, 2017 10:36 PM

1.      How is a raid on Dr Roy's homes and office an attack on NDTV?
Dr Roy and his wife Radhika are executive chairperson and executive co-chairperson on the NDTV board. There are six more directors on the NDTV board and they have nothing to do with the CBI raids.
The Central Bureau of Investigation has in fact raided the Roys, owners of RRPR Holdings Pvt Limited where they have a controlling stake.
2.      How is a CBI raid on NDTV's directors an attack on the Freedom of the Press?
I believe that Fali Nariman is wrong when he says, 'The FIR filed by the CBI is definitely an unjustified attack on press and media freedom.'
I also believe that men like Shekhar Gupta are only showing support to the Roys out of a sense of loyalty.
I want to ask Fali Nariman and Shekhar Gupta to explain how a CBI raid on Dr Roy is an attack on the press and media freedom.
If I extend this logic, then I can say that questioning Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh in the disproportionate asset case is an assault on Indian democracy!
The CBI routinely raids businessmen when there is a strong case of alleged wrongdoing.
If I accept Fali Nariman's logic, can I say that a raid on any businessman's office or home by the CBI is an attack on the entire business community?
The argument of these highly eminent men thus smacks of a lack of logic.
3.      Why is the CBI raiding someone who has allegedly defrauded ONLY Rs 48 crores?
NDTV, in its statement, says, 'Even though lakhs and crores of rupees of dues h

Freedom of press......really???

Yes I agree ...Zee owner Dr. Subhas got elected to rajya sabha just because he was staunch believer in freedom of press and was suitable rewarded by a government who also believes in that.

Its not arrogance but self-respect of the nation.
When a higher official of the US think-tank says that India need not
suggest on climate to the US, the same logic applies to them too. Whether they are big or small, developed or under-developed.

That mindset shows their arrogance and ignorance.
think it please

Western powers feel that they can write anything about Government of India, and our irresponsible Media, towing the lines of western countries, can entertain the Editors of influential persons. If you take the NYT Editor to a good pub and entertain him from your cos money, he will write whatever you want him to write, particularly Against countries in this part of the world. Having worked closely with Western Media for two decades, I have thorough knowledge of their behaviour. CBI Is fully correct in their assertion.
