NEW DELHI: The election campaign for the Indian opposition prime ministerial candidate received a blow on Monday when senior journalist and editorial director at India TV, Qamar Waheed Naqvi, resigned in protest against Narendra Modi’s “fixed” interview that was telecast on the channel.
According to sources, Naqvi e-mailed his resignation to the management. Rajat Sharma, editor in chief of India TV, conducted the interview in his popular program “AAP Ki Adalat.”
Naqvi, who confirmed his resignation to mediakhabar.com, had been working as a news director at the channel for a long time.
The revelation has set the social media abuzz with incendiary comments from supporters and opponents of Modi. Critics of the interview argue that the interview was “stage managed” as a large section of the crowd was seen chanting pro-Modi slogans at regular intervals. Even during the interview, Modi posed a series of questions to the audience which were answered in unison
