If I were lobbying and/or negotiating for Raja's post in the cabinet, holy hell, why would I do it for no money? A scoundrel is being given a second chance to rape the exchequer, and if I'm helping him secure his position, why free? I must be insane or must be running a "charity to harm national interests" ?

[chanduR]

Summary: Vinod Mehta and Mrinal Pandy condemn the practices of the two "holy cows" while Rajdeep Saradesai was equivocal refusing to condemn but failing to answer if he endorsed them.

BEST SPEAKER (imo): Mrinal Pandey (part-7).

@chanduR Look at the pseudo journalist Barkha Dutt's temerity to be still coming on NDTV( which itself is suspect). Also, heard of the new revelation, Apparently Radia pays the employees at NEWS X.
