Note: According to latest understanding, intelligence based on media reports were fed to the terrorists by “field officers” so they stayed a step ahead of the Indian forces.
Barkha Dutt and NDTV is a terrorist’s DREAM COME TRUE!! They must really love having Barkha Dutt cover every strike they do.. hoping that she will help them by facilitating more KILLINGS and slayings. She has ABSOLUTELY NO journalistic ethics or common sense. There are others on that channel like Sagarika… who is another joker! But here are two actions and indiscretions that could have (WOULD have!!) put many lives in GRAVE danger during the height of Mumbai carnage and hostage drama.. I am sure ONE of the special preparation by the terrorists have been subscription to NDTV’s live news coverage.. maybe they their masters have been running a live audio cast on the satellite phone for them from Pakistan or something!!
- In one instance she asks a husband about his wife being stuck, or held as a hostage. The poor guy adds in the end about where she was last hiding. Aired! My dear friends with AK-47s, our national news is helping you. Go get those still in. And be sure to thank NDTV for not censoring this bit of information.
- In another instance, a General sort of suggests that there were no hostages in Oberoi Trident. (Clever.) Then, our herione of revelations calls the head of Oberoi, and the idiot confirms a possibility of 100 or more people still in the building. Hello! Guys with guns, you’ve got more goats to slay. But before you do, you’ve got to love NDTV and more precisely Ms. Dutt. She’s your official intelligence from Ground zero
Can you share other “fuck-ups” by these over-zealous, forever shouting and utterly IDIOTIC jokers with Journalists ID cards speaking on TV?

I certainly agree with your standpoint. Its not just Barkha Dutt but our main stream media not is washed with milk and it is a joke if someone thinks that they are only airing which is true. The fact lies only a few would acknowledge that there were Indian soldiers killed while trying to save Barkha Dutt during the Kargil war.
Theres a whole dump of high level conspiracy going on and the news channel is airing the story which ofcourse suits the course and plans of our existing govt. Nobody looks into the other side of the story cuz its far more dirty and dangerous.

The whole coverage was amateurish.. a mad rush for TRPs and exclusive coverage. What would have made sense are confirmed reports/sources.. a discussion on how to improve security conditions and perhaps other news stories also. Its not just NDTV but CNN IBN, Times Now.. all of them responsible channels.. losing their minds and getting high on getting most words on T.V per sec. Sic

Great post, we need to send this feedback to all the major newspapers on how exactly these “news” pushers made a mockery of tragedy and provided “breaks” to come back with better suits and dumb guests(bollywood-alyque padamsee …) or right/left wing nut.
They added music to event where silence would have worked, pushed camera angles to experimental extreme with absolutely no script or useful information san discussion. They put on live running ars (on for 34 hrs) and slogans like “ladega india” and were ecstatic when commandos came down rappling. Folks on NDTV/CNN-IBN actually blurted out – hey look at that – that happens in movies of hollywood – what a dramatic shot, capture it. Get the angle – find out if we can go little ahead.
Many times through the night – they focused on the various rooms giving away the position of the folks or kept replaying the shooting van video for desensitizing the whole generation.

Barkha dutt is complete fool. She has no idea about journalism and I am pretty sure she failed jounalism exams with at least 32 back papers. She does not know the difference between her brains and her boobs and NDTV is all praises for her. NDTV itself seems to have become indian counterpart of PTV and is licking pakistani asses white.
Media surely has acted in haste, basicaly to garner TRPs.They are no different than the Politicians who are out to get mileage at the cost of thosew held captive or in hiding or hose yet to be traced.TV and Media are converting this attack on the Indian democracy into one big reality show.While the politicians are taking no initiative and the National address by the P.M were lackluser,when it should be feiry,spiting fire and telling the Ruhless killers that we will not be cowed down by you and we will get you.So much for freedom of expressions.
jeshi
Who is Barkha Dutt married to? is it a kashmiri terrorist? that would explain why she is ever so sympathetic to the enemy. can someone ban her and her likes? and by the way, it is high time the media were told that to change their style of coverage, which at present only helps the terrorists to succeed.
There is substance in Desh’s blog. There is a clear need to keep the media totally out of any situation endangering the people, the society and the nation. Only the bulletins put out by responsible Government agencies should be aired.
However, today Barkha Dutt on live NDTV appeared dangerously close to a physical breakdown due to the overstrain of continuous coverage of terrorism at Mumbai. She has to retire from the scene,take rest and see a doctor. After all, we do not want to lose her lively coverage of other events.

If you ever watch/hear programs on CNN or on NPR and then compare them to the ones from Indian media you know HOW amateurish and downright idiotic they are! There is NO research no idea of the reality and yet they go on.
Watch Karan Thappar’s interviews and then Larry King Live.. and you know exactly why Larry King Live is what it is!! IN Karan Thappar’s program he speaks MORE than the guest!! Whereas the interviewer’s job is EXACTLY the opposite! Larry King asks a one-two line question and the question is so well asked that the guest ends up speaking for 10 mins!
Watch the news in India now and you looooong for the erstwhile Doordarshan news that was telecast by people like Rini Simon, Neethi Ravindran and Ramu Damodaran!
In a terror attack or in an emergency.. the military and security agencies should put barricades and BAR the journalists to even come close to that area.
The trouble is that the journalists act as goondas and hooligans and expect themselves to be ABOVE LAW!! We need some laws NOW to save the nation and the victims FROM THE MEDIA!!

Some of the journalist need to be slapped while on air.
Barkha thinks she is the mother India and she runs the country.
In another instance the Tines now anchor was asking the reporter on the ground why the Army helicopter dropping the NSGs was not shot down yet by the terrorists.
The media should be taken off air during such excercise.

The news channels keep talking about the satellite phone that was found among the terrorists’ belongings and they keep showing a Garmin GPS device ( https://buy.garmin.com/shop/sh… ).. is this a fuck up or what?
Also..Barkha Datt needs to be slapped!

you know apart from the way they holler at the top of their voices as if we are all deaf or near deaf, and even if look away painfully when Barkha lovingly shoves the mike under a grieving father’s nose to ask him how he felt when he could not identify the body of his son which was torn apart by the bomb blast in Gujarat, one cannot ignore the sheer stupidity at times. I mean imagine telling simi grewal on We the People yesterday why ‘carpet bombing NWFP in Pak’ was a bad idea, ‘ because it cost President Bush his presidency’!!! I mean is that the reason that we should not go to war, that some neta will lose his Kursi? Not that Bush lost anything, he was re elected after his immoral and indefensible war against afghanistan and iraq(???). What was she talking about?
And all even the best of them actually do is relay information as fast as they can as if this is a race for which one covers what is in any case going to blaring in a minute or two from every other channel as well without really verifying, cross question or looking deeper for what more there could be than what meets the eye. Imagine the news that the terrorists faces were deformed beyond recognition not being analysed… why? Surely the fact that even the captain of the trawler was beheaded and not recognizable hence and also the same fate of the terrorists would lead to something being amiss..?

I am no bigger a fan of CNN or CNN-IBN or any other news channel than anyone else out here. I do not praise any of these for any of their reporting for all they are trying to achieve is sensationalism. I mean these reporters (and by standers) were standing so close to the Taj hotel during the seige that in fact one by stander also got shot. I mean you do a good job, but you are no use to us dead, right?
Also why was so much of Taj, Oberoi and Nariman House was being covered, when there were attacks at other places like the hospital and railway station. Was it just because it took a longer time to control them, because there were foreigners with links to US, UK and Israel, or just because big and “important” people with a lot of money go to Taj/Oberoi? What happened to the hundereds of other people who lost their lives? Just because they were not staying at the Taj/Oberoi??
CNN covered the whole news for all the 3 days non-stop. CNN – the one who does not cover anything apart from US until they have their own agenda in it. They covered this horrific act, NON STOP, only because there were their own people invloved. Yes there is one point where they did act responsibly as in the case of the CNN reporter who was in contact with the couple from Chicago, and managed not to reveal their position on air. But otherwise their single point agenda was to show that Indian authorities cannot contain the seige and elevate the issue with our neighbour(s).
Barkha Dutt – in January this year I had managed to see her waiting in line to catch a flight at the Delhi airport. Man on man, what a tantrum she threw when there was no ticketing agent at the airline counter. And I do not know why she was allowed to go through the “Employees Only” door and not the regular security check. Priviledges, I call it a security breach. She may be doing some good reporting by going to Kargil during the war etc etc. But you bet she is totally irresponsible, which also has a lot to blame the TV channel which does not know what to edit and when.

Very true, Govind…
I especially hated the part where they added “music” and sirens and… to the reportage, animated bombs going off in the studio background, bomb-like sounds, etc… This is completely immoral and unethical. The fact that these amoral people run the fourth estate is a dangerous thing for our very survival as a “human” race.

Truly Barkha Dutt was the worst of the lot. Showcasing lousy timing and double standards throughout. Unlike the “prissy-miss-brave-heart” she tries to project.
Besides the previously describes gaffes by her, here are some more:
1. Against the backdrop of the smouldering Taj, Barkha speaks(tearfully) of dear friend Sabina Sehgal who is trapped inside…
2. Then she cuts to an interview with Alex Kuruvilla of Conde Naste who speaks of all the parties he has had and will miss having in the Taj…
3. Then she cuts to a telephonic interview with Krishna Kumar, Vice-Chairman of Taj Hotels, and asks about the bravery of his staff. As he speaks about the bravery of his people, especially GM Karambir Kang who lost his family, we see Barkha get visibly impatient (perhaps she has urgent breaking news…?). The moment he is done she quickly (and eagerly) cuts to ~ an interview with some Bollywood mini-celebrity on her take of the situation!
4. And when the security forces finally announce the end of the operation the next day, Barkha-on-the-spot forgets about the fate of people inside (including her dear friend Sabina), and breaks security cordons to try and rush inside to show us “Live Breaking News” footage of broken glass and last meals of people inside the Taj, rambling non-stop like an idiot, and descibing every little thing, as if viewers are either blind, or she’s suddenly turned radio-reporter…
During all this, she also has the “audacity to complain on air” that she is being asked by security forces “to leave the scene”.
Well what better can we expect from an ageing eyeball vulture with a bad haircut, who’s clearly reached the menopause of her career.

Great comment … You just said everything that I’ve been thinking for several years now … Believe me, it’s great to know that there ARE in fact other people out there that perceive these things – there are times when one thinks that he is living in a world in which all his fellow human beings have lost it, and for some reason fail to see the obvious – when I see comments like yours, it gives me hope, that all isn’t lost !! There ARE others out there who see …

I strongly that TV channels should act more responsible in such situation and should make all efforts not to glamorize such incidents/acts. Terrorists or their act should not be projected as heroic. Only official comments/reports should be telecast and actions already taken has to be discussed/show. No future plan of action or any other interview should be telecasted.
The government too needs to make sure and speak to the the media community that situation such as this is very delicate and needs to be handled with responsibility – keeping the interest of the nations before anything else(TRP).

Is there anything we can do? like a sign a petition against media and demand for law suit against them? and write latter to President? we need a strong action against them NOT just a warning but an step in form of new LAW.
Yesterday i wrote a latter to President via her website site.and complaint about media hypocrisy.

Watching the Mumbai bombing, throughout, one comes to the conclusion,that Miss was least concerned about the safety and security of the people but was instrumental providing all the information to the terrorists when it was made obvious that they are being fed all the news via sattelite navigator. Would not be least surprised, if she receives the BHARAT RATAN by Miss Sonia Ghandhi.

it is absolutely true that at such times these media guys like barkha dutt, rajdeep sardesai, karan thapar are kept in stron police jails tile TIHAR or the ARTHUR ROAD in isolation without any communication with the outside World. Actually they are the people responsible for the loss of lives of many of the guests and the officers during this attack at Mumbai by giving the details of the location and the tactical strategies of the security forces I wish someone files a case against such media organisations for helping/ ABETTING the terrorists in the massacare that happenend in Mumbai TAJ, OBEROI, CST, CAMA, NARIMAN HOUSE, ETC

i have been a long time of B.Dutt, but it seems that She is the most stupid self protraying bitch. its very clear that she helped terrorist and played with the emotions of victims where she was consistingly insisting the Wife of a trapped husband about what she was feeling over and over again and finally when she didnt get any answer she derived her own meaning that Oh i understand what u must be feeling. she was even gathering the people to pose for camera.
this is really disgusting. she cant play with peoples feeling. she didnt even move when policeman literally pushed her out saying “”chalo jao..” she loves HER fame more than anything else. plus i would like to add whats written above,
I especially hated the part where they added “music” and sirens and… to the reportage, animated bombs going off in the studio background, bomb-like sounds, etc… This is completely immoral and unethical. The fact that these amoral people run the fourth estate is a dangerous thing for our very survival as a “human” race.
i hate arrogant Burkha Dutt who consider herself too authoritative and give her senseless openions.

This is not the first time when Barkha DUMB soul has done something so foolish. She has given various examples of irresponsible journalism like Arushi’s murder case, white crash and Navy Admiral Sureesh Mehta. Somebody must tell her that journalism is not about unfolding just anything with that hyperactive attitude. ‘Breathe-think-use mind’ and then speak woman!!….

completely agree with u ppl ,
the media should realise that they have a very responsible role to play.
the character assasination of the NAVAL CHIEF for being blunt to the media shows that they have gone out of hand..
the newspapers in mumbai had a few illogical things regarding the MARCOS needing a written request to enter and engage the militants at the taj.
As far as barkha dutt goes she should have behaved with maturity .

Barkha dutt is complete fool. She has no idea about journalism and I am pretty sure she failed jounalism exams with at least 32 back papers.

NDTV is owned by Prannoy Roy, full name – Prannoy James Roy, a fundamentalist Christian whose sole purpose is to spread confusion in India so that Jesus’s men (missionaries) find it easier to convert people to the Only Way To God (Christianity). This is why Prannoy James Roy does not have any tears for Kashmiri Pundits, or those being persecuted in Pakistan, but he will go for “Hindu fundamentalists” all the time.
Bushra Dutt is a Muslim – she converted when she married one, and now she is one of the Ummah (google to find out what ummah means), and she does not have any sympathy for the Kafir Hindus either.
Arundhati Roy’s full name is Suzanne Arundhati Roy and she is related to Prannoy James Roy. She is doing her duty as a true Christian by standing for Jihadists of Kashmir, because as long as Hindu interests are hurt, it is part of the Crusades to evangelize the Heathen Hindus.
Boycott all NDTV and CNN-IBN channels. CNN-IBN is funded by the Southern Baptist church that is active in seeking new believers from the Hindus.

Barkha Dutt and Sagarika Ghosh , two of India’s most STUPID people, are nothing more than funded by foreigners whose sole interest is to create confusion, hurt and chaos on our holy soil. The very fact that they are a part of the two most anti-hindu media channels envisages the fact. They must be tried in the court of law and must be sued . They have no right to behave the way they do . They have this impression that they control the country and can do whatever they want ! Whereas the fact of the matter is , media is the servant of the ordinary man and we cannot be dictated by them. Barkha dutt is such an idiot i’d be happy to be a part of a movement which can throw these infidels out of sight . The media should be taken control of ,by the government and NDTV and its leader
Mr.Prannoy ‘ Christian’ Roy be taught a lesson for playing with Hindu sentiments. Vande mataram. Jai Sri Ram !

Its not just Barkha Dutt but people like Arnav Goswami(Editor-in-Chief of TIMES NOW!!!), Nidhi Rajdhan, Vikram Chandra, even Ram Jethmalani(who said the court of law of this land should apply to hardcore terrorists, but at the same time represents Manu Sharma and defends DGP Rathore saying he is victimized by media, so the court of law as per him is applicable to terrorists but not the women of India)…When the Gujarat encounter happened, such a hullaballoo was made of it, that Muslims are persecuted in India, these people should go to Pakistan or forget Pakistan, go to Bangladesh(who owe their existence to India, not to mention their countless refugees that India has given shelter to), where non-Muslims have been either murdered, converted, raped, lucky few returned to India and the remaining have to live life in fear, not because of terrorists but by ordinary educated Pakistani and Bangladeshi people. It would hurt Mrs. Indira Gandhi in her grave today, that the people of Bangladesh who owe their freedom to her have made life miserable for Hindus in Bangladesh. Hilary Clinton suggests that if Kasab was educated, he would not have done what he did then Mrs. Hillary Clinton, all the terrorists who hijacked 9/11 planes, were not only educated but educated in UK, USA, in your country! Ironically the Muslims coming out of UK and USA are more radical, have more hatred for USA than the people in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The past few terrorist attacks in India, have been made by educated people from high-end Indian prestigious colleges. What about the Indian Mujahideens? They are from the Student Islamic Movement of India! And they specialize in making bombs, computer specialists and even pilots!!!!SO there goes Hilary Clinton’s theory, in actual, the more educated you are, the more rigid you are in your mindset. Osama bin laden is not only educated but has a good grasp of biology, chemistry and physics….and can make dangerous use of nuclear power, he is a byproduct of America’s obsession with the Soviet Union. AMERICA CREATED ISLAMIC TERRORISM but India did not have a choice, terrorism was thrust upon us. Mr. David Miliband, Foreign Secy, UK, having been taken by Rahul Gandhi, to visit Dalit families, and treated with great respect by the people of India, has the audacity to say the same day that terrorism on India is only because of Kashmir, and Indians are being killed because of India’s occupation of Kashmir. He chooses to side up for Pakistanis instead, who would probably have blown him up. He is speaking up and justifying for terrorists, does he have the nerve to justify 9/11 like he did 26/11 and there are various 26/11s in India. Mr. Miliband, it is because of you and your country and the East India Company and the British Imperialism that laid down the adage of DIVIDE AND RULE! and we are still paying that price! Was the Divide and Rule worth the 1 million dead bodies then and over 1 lakh dead bodies now! Will we ever be safe in our own country??? When the Indian and foreign media and government and self-proclaimed Hindus say that Hindu majority has made life hell for the minorities, then I say not in any country would you have a Head of State with a religious background, whose religion once created terrorism in India, would ever be elected in any other country? Can you imagine a Muslim President or Muslim Vice President in any other non-Muslim country?
Bollywood Muslim stars are treated like Gods, we as a nation idolize anyone with artistic talents, not keeping their religious faith in mind….so what are they making a noise about? Pakistan was created especially for Muslims, if they are so unhappy here why don’t they go to Pakistan…????? Instead of killing innocent people and destroying life and the families and all in cold-blood in the name of their faith! The world talks of Hitler’s Holocaust and does not let us forget about it…but what about the Partition of India, which has never been documented till date! They talk of Bosnian cleansing and all other cleansing but in world’s biggest democracy, by various invaders, such as Britsish, Mughals, Dutch, Portuguese, Afghans, no one talks of the ethnic cleansing nor of the present day ethnic cleansing in Kashmir, Punjab, Goa, Kerala……who will speak up for these innocent people whose only fault is that they are Kasmiri Pandits and Hindus! No one talks of Ayodhya/Ram’s birthplace being demolished by Babar! But they have scores of programs covering the demolition of the Babri Masjid! Bravo Hindusthan! We are scared to speak up for our own! We are the terrorists in our own land! We are so desensitized to all the madness around us, that we just turn the newspaper over after reading about gory murders, rapes, and horrible acts of terrorism! We are too tolerant and too darn lazy! Wake up guys!

firstly get your own news sense right,secondly i wonder how people around you bear up to you since you are the ‘shitiest’ of all possible kinds and levels,do you even have the capabilities to even remotely match up or overcome her? i doubt you can even speak,read or write english fluently considering the grammatical errors and not to mention the wonderful spellings.

First of all develop some confidence about your own self. Inferiority complex is reflecting in your letters. Do you think that to talk and behave like Barka Dutta, you need some extra talents. Do they have any courage to talk like that about the terrorists beyond border and supporters with in. Atleast let her talk a few words about Dawood. And look at your own sentence what a wonderful syntax – ” how people around you bear up to you …..” go to your teacher and get it corrected. We are becoming weak with fools like you. Well why cant you ask her for a job showing your great english(junglish)

I will recommend my friends to read this.I will bookmark your blog and have my children check up here often.I am quite sure they will learn lots of new stuff here than anybody else!….There is also a lot of visual symbolism that is sometimes subtle, sometimes not so subtle..
I have not read a more confused comment than yours. Looks like the Roys have done a good job after all.
There is no end to conspiracy theories in our country. And this ridiculous amount of mistrust toward fellow Indians based solely on their religion is simply disgusting, especially after 63 years of secularization of India.
This is sad.

Since she don’t know about her own religion and background. How dare she talk about Islam. She did, what NDTV paid for her.
She forgot hell the fire.

That is what she is!! Bark Uh Dirt!! She keeps barking away, doe snot allow audience to air their views, imposes her own views, cuts short ppl, screams, thinks no end of herself, hardly a piece of sh*t and think she is news and knowledge personified!! She should be apologizing to all those who died due to her senseless journalism, compromising the safety and security of our men, when Kargil Conflict was on, when Taj siege took place.
Why blame them, when teh so called ‘intellgentia’ of our great India sits glued to the channel???!!

What else can you expect from a woman (Barkha Dutt) who loves to have sex with her colleagues in the ATM cabin below her office?
I WANT ANSWER FROM BARKHA BUTT ????????????????????????

3) security & police are not there for picnic , will you gurantee that if security forces will come then no terrorist attack will happen? Leaders are in jail , will you gurantee that they will not instigate stone pelting?
EVERYBODY WANTS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM ,SO PLEASE CONFIRM TO VIEWERS WHAT NDTV IS DEBATING ABOUT , HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS OR “AZADI”.

people ( hindus ) must come forward to accept the fact dat the views of barkha dutt are of islamic perspective with a blend of liberal values of modern and free hindu women..
hence she has no right to conduct any TV show and debate dat tends to mobilise the youth of the country ( hindus the most )
Burqa Khatoon Dutt is epitome of cheap and irresponsible journalism. I have stopped watching NDTV since last 4 years because of her rotten journalism.
barkha dutt is the worst journalist n ndtv the worst news channel one could ever see
every true indian should not watch this channel for a second i was amazed the way she covered live interview of geelani the traitor feel like she also one of them wenever something happens in j&k she immediately comes to here as if she and her channel recieves funding from middleast it seems like she is on payrolls of ISI
she is married to some kashmiri muslim dats why she is so biased he hides her martial status bcos she is afraid of truth moreover it is also a possibility dat she is married twice so cheap and chracterless
We bring you the full transcripts of alleged conversations between Niira Radia, Barkha Dutt, Vir Sanghvi and others, published in Open Magazine. The magazine’s story seeks to expose the networks of lobbyists and power brokers that dictate how this country is run. MiD DAY will keep you updated on the controversy as it unfolds
Earlier this week, Telecom Minister A Raja of the DMK was forced to resign after pressure mounted on the government over irregularities in the allotment of the 2G spectrum. But this decision to sacrifice an individual in no way changes the system that Raja embodies. Evidence filed on the 15th of November in the Supreme Court seems to shed some light on the networks of lobbyists and power brokers that actually dictate how this country is run.
While Raja is gone, these networks survive, shaping and influencing our lives in ways we cannot imagine. Thanks to a fortuitous set of circumstances, the transcripts that follow shed some light on one such network of power.
The phone lines of the head of Vaishnavi Communication, Niira Radia, were twice placed under surveillance by the Income Tax Department (based on a tip-off by the Central Board of Direct Taxes) for a few months in 2008 and 2009. Niira Radia is a woman of formidable networking and PR skills, so much so that she represents both the Tata and the Mukesh Ambani group. Some of these recorded phone conversations are now available with Open; they were placed before the Supreme Court this week by petitioners Centre for Public Interest Litigation, represented by senior counsel Prashant Bhushan. He had moved the Supreme Court with a plea that the 2G spectrum investigation that involves Raja should be monitored by the Court in view of the mounting evidence.
In a rejoinder in the case, the petitioners submitted, “These conversations were given by the Directorate of Income Tax (Investigations) to the CBI more than a year back. A copy of the taped conversations of Ms Radia with Respondent No. 5 (A. Raja), other politicians, Ratan Tata, other corporates, senior journalists and certain middlemen in a CD are annexed as Annexure P35 ¦ Some of the transcripts of the conversations which relate to the lobbying for making Respondent No. 5 as Telecom Minister are annexed as Annexure P36.”
These recordings, which appear to be only a small part of the recordings made available by the IT department to the CBI, were made in the period of surveillance from 11 May 2009 to 11 July 2009. We are in no position to endorse the contents of the recordings, but as the material is now in the public domain, we can now place them on record. What follows is just a small part of the information contained in the recordings submitted to the court.
The conversations presented below focus on two important events: 1) the aftermath of the Bombay High Court judgment of 15 June 2009 on the dispute between brothers Anil Ambani and Mukesh Ambani over the allotment of gas; 2) efforts by Niira Radia to mediate an understanding between the DMK and the Congress between 20 May 2009 and 24 May 2009 at the time of the Cabinet formation of UPA-II. For a period of time, with direct communication breaking down between the DMK and the Congress, a section of the DMK (Raja and DMK chief M Karunanidhi’s daughter, Kanimozhi) was in constant touch with Radia on what was going on and how the Congress needed to react. In turn, Radia relied on a number of people to pass information on to the Congress and back to the DMK. In a way, these were the people who eventually ensured Raja was given the telecom portfolio.
The transcripts that follow are from Niira Radia’s conversations with highly influential people. Going by the evidence of the phone taps, these include journalists Vir Sanghvi and Barkha Dutt, and Ranjan Bhattacharya (foster son-in-law of former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee), who seem to have played out the roles of mediators between the Congress and Radia, who was in turn speaking to Raja and Kanimozhi. According to these tapes, Vir Sanghvi seems to have relied heavily on his discussions with Radia to write his column on the gas judgment. The transcripts that appear here do not suggest any direct role for the person Radia is in conversation with, rather they reflect the power and the ability she commands to influence events.
THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT
»Ahmed Patel: Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s political secretary

VIR SANGHVI IN CONVERSATION WITH NIIRA RADIA
On 15 June 2009, the Bombay High Court directed Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) to honour an agreement signed with Anil Ambani’s Reliance Natural Resources Ltd (RNRL) as part of a family asset division that assured the latter supply of gas from the KG basin at a discount price of $2.34 per unit, a private deal that the Supreme Court later ruled was invalid since the gas was State-owned even though RIL was the gas field’s operator. Here, Niira Radia discusses the implications of the High Court judgment with prominent journalist Vir Sanghvi
DATE 20 June 2009 TIME 12:09:59
RADIA: Hi
VIR: Okay, now I can talk.
RADIA: I just got out of this treadmill. On this battle. I need to, I’m trying to get Mukesh to come out and talk.
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA: But the thing is this, we have to, if he talks, we have to carry it as is, in the sense that you know he, I think, they’re very conscious of every line and everything that goes out.
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA: Because it’s a battle. It’s a battle at the end of the day for him, you know. And also, whether we bring it into print.
VIR: Right.
RADIA: That’s the other issue. I think the ¦
VIR: But see Anil can’t afford to give interviews because he will be asked about Amar Singh, so many things, so that the advantage Mukesh has is that he can talk and there is nothing for him to be embarrassed about. So many skeletons in Anil’s closet that he doesn’t want to clarify. If he comes on, he says, ‘Amar Singh is my close friend,’ he is fucked. If he comes on, he says, ‘I have no relations with Amar Singh,’ Amar Singh will kill him. I mean there are so many awkward things, so Anil has decided to avoid the media. Mukesh doesn’t have that problem. Mukesh can talk straight, can say things. You can rehearse. You can work out a script in advance. You can go exactly according to the script. Anil can’t do any of those things, no?
RADIA: Right. But we can do that, no?
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA:Yeah?
VIR: But Mukesh has to be on board. He has to sort of realise. It has to be fully scripted.
RADIA: No, that’s what I mean. I think that’s what he’s asking me.
VIR: Yes, it has to be fully scripted.
RADIA: He is saying is that, ‘Look Niira’, that ‘I don’t want anything extempore.’
VIR: No, it has to be fully scripted. I have to come in and do a run through with him before.
RADIA: Yeah, yeah.
VIR: We have to rehearse it before the cameras come in.
RADIA: Yeah, yeah.
VIR: Then it is worth doing.
RADIA: Correct, correct.
VIR: Otherwise, there is a lot at stake.
RADIA: Yeah. That’s right, that’s the one point. The other thing was that when Rohit on this particular article of [inaudible] because Anil is going all out and we are going to start talking. It is not as if we are not going to start talking. But I think the challenge that I’m facing is that I think we need to set the tone.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: How what has happened as far as the order is concerned is completely against national interest.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: You know and even if we were to assume that they get gas or they get coal, or they get iron ore or whatever one gets. If you look at how Tatas has always gone into those areas and done something for the people even before they have been able to extract anything out of it.
VIR: Right.
RADIA: Here, the culture of, you know, if it’s set at a power plant in Shahpur, which Rohit will brief you, or is setting up a power plant in Dadri ¦ One would ask a question, have you actually done anything for those people even though you are taking their land from them? I can say today you know with my hand on my heart whether it is Kalinga Nagar that we are fighting the Maoists or Singur where we fought Mamta, we continue doing work whether our plant came up or not. You know sometimes ¦
VIR: What kind of story do you want? Because this will go as Counterpoint, so it will be like most-most read, but it can’t seem too slanted, yet it is an ideal opportunity to get all the points across.
RADIA: But basically, the point is what has happened as far as the High Court is concerned is a very painful thing for the country because what is done is against national interest.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: I think that’s the underlying message.
VIR: Okay. That message we will do. That allocation of resources which are scarce national resources of a poor country cannot be done in this arbitrary fashion to benefit a few rich people.
RADIA: That’s right.
VIR: Yeah. That message we will get across, but what other points do we need to make?
RADIA: I think we need to say that you know it’s a lesson for the corporate world that, you know, they need to think through whenever they want to look at this, whether they really seriously do give back to society.
VIR: So I will link it to the election verdict. The fact that there has been so much Narega, that Sonia has committed to including everybody, that it should be inclusive growth. It shouldn’t just benefit the few fat cats. It shouldn’t be cronyism. It shouldn’t be arbitrary. That’s how the message for this five years of Manmohan Singh should be that you have to put an end to this kind of allocations of scarce resources on the basis of corruption and arbitrariness at the cost of the country, otherwise the country will not forgive you.
RADIA: Yeah, but Vir, you have to keep in mind that he has been given the gas field by the Government to operate. He spent ten billion dollars on it.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: Anil Ambani is getting the benefit without spending a cent on it ¦
VIR: I’ll make those points, no?
RADIA: Yeah.
VIR: So I’ll make those points. The people, because the system is so corrupt and open to manipulation, by manipulating the system, by not paying anybody you can get hands on resources. Therefore the only way Manmohan Singh hopes to survive is to get a handle on the resources and have some kind of way of allocating them that is transparent, fair and perhaps done by him.
RADIA: But there you will be attacking Mukesh only, no.
VIR: Why, why, why, explain that.
RADIA: You see, because a resource has been allocated to Mukesh in this case.
VIR: So, what point do you want me to make?
RADIA: The point I’m making is that here, the point is limited to the fact that you cannot have a High Court deciding on this. You cannot have a tribunal deciding on this.
VIR: What about ministers?
RADIA: Even ministers.
VIR: Spectrum and co is ministers, no?
RADIA: Yeah, even ministers. You want to really look at, maybe there’s an EGoM [Empowered Group of Ministers] that got set and is looking at the pricing issue, and natural resources should be decided not by any of this arbitrary mechanism. It has to be one for the country. And there should be some sort of a formula that Manmohan Singh has to…
VIR: Yeah, that is the message, you know. There should be a formula by which resources will be allocated in a transparent, non-arbitrary sort of way. That has to be a message, no?
RADIA: Yeah. And also, you know, going to court.
VIR: That the people want resources, they have to be back to society. They have to pay the Government. They have corporate social responsibility. They have to care about the people who are going to be displaced, the people who are going to lose things. You can’t just go ahead and rape the system.
RADIA: Yeah. But you want to say that you know, more importantly that here a family MoU has taken precedence over national interest, and what the judge has done ¦ I mean you’ll have to attack the judge here because the judge has, what he’s done, he’s given preference to an MoU. He has held on to the MoU and said, ‘Okay, this had to be implemented.’ But he has forgotten what’s good, that’s why it raises a bigger constitutional issue.
VIR: Which is?
RADIA: Which is natural resources is really a constitutional issue. It has to do with the country and the nation.
VIR: It’s not between two brothers and their fight.
RADIA: It’s not and therefore the judge’s interpretation of an MoU ¦
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA: It cannot be the basis of the way how we can proceed on these sorts of issues. I mean, you have to attack the fact that the judge has only gone into the MoU. His entire judgment is on the basis of the MoU.
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA: And therefore a judgment between two family members cannot be how you decide the future.
VIR: Okay. Let this Rohit come, let me explain to him, and I’ll talk to you and tell you what line I’m taking.
RADIA: Okay. And you’ll do it for next Sunday, is it?
VIR: No, no tomorrow
+++
And now, a conversation on an entirely different issue. In May 2009, as coalition talks between the DMK and Congress broke down, Niira Radia was apparently involved quite actively in opening channels between the two parties through, among others, Vir Sanghvi
VIR SANGHVI “I won’t get into Sonia in the short term, let me try and get through to Ahmed”
DATE 22 May 2009 TIME 13:03:19
VIR: Hi Niira.
RADIA: Hi Vir. Where are you, Delhi or ¦
VIR: I’m in Jaipur. Coming back this evening.
RADIA: Okay. I just wanted to ¦ I’ve been talking to my Tamil Nadu friends.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: I just need to ¦ I don’t know whether you are in the position to get through to anyone at Congress. I just met Kani just now.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: And I’ve been, you know, we re-united since yesterday. The problem is ¦
VIR: I was supposed to meet Sonia today, but I’ve been stuck here. So, now it’s becoming tomorrow. I’ve been meeting with Rahul, but tell me?
RADIA: No, I’ll tell you what—they are not understanding that they are actually communicating with the wrong guy. Not because I detached Maran, but actually the father has not nominated Maran to negotiate. Now, you know, it’s like a banana republic where the Cabinet ¦
VIR: Then why Maran became the face? They all hate Maran.
RADIA: No. He is not, he is not. I know, no. But the Congress is under the impression. They have already apparently indicated to Maran that the Prime Minister will not give infrastructure berth to DMK, which ¦ but he himself is desperately pushing for an infrastructure berth for himself.
VIR: Right.
RADIA: But the problem is that there is a leader which is Kani’s brother, which is Alagiri, who’s won that election and he is a mass leader.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: Now what has apparently ¦ Maran has gone and indicated to Congress that he will accept a MOS independent, and you leave it with me, everything will be okay.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: Which blames Baalu, Raja and Maran Cabinet posts independent to Alagiri and MOS to Kani.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: Now, Alagiri is a very, you know, he is, he is a mass leader. He controls half of Tamil Nadu for Karunanidhi’s point of view.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: He is far too, too senior for Maran. So, what he has told his father that if you make Maran a Cabinet minister ¦
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA: ¦I’ll not come into the Cabinet. And the father cannot afford to upset him because ¦
VIR: Obviously.
RADIA: ¦simply because of his position.
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA: Right now, the Congress doesn’t't seem to be understanding this.
VIR: So, who should they talk to?
RADIA: They need to, look, they need to talk directly to Karunanidhi, they need to talk to Kani.
VIR: Sonia spoke to him yesterday, you know.
RADIA: No, she didn’t speak to him. Only Prime Minister spoke, even that was Kani was translating for him. It was very brief that, you know, let’s try and resolve this issue. There is nothing at all and whatever. They need to get Ghulam Nabi Azad to speak to Kanimozhi.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: Seriously, that’s the only thing that will work and Kani will take them to her father.
VIR: I won’t get into Sonia in the short term, let me try and get through to Ahmed.
RADIA: No. But they need to speak to Kani [Kanimozhi, DMK Chief M Karunanidhi's daughter], and Kani will take him to their, her father directly.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: He has no problem with three Cabinet berths at all. In fact, it is the Congress that messed it up.
VIR: Mm…hmm.
RADIA: Had they, had they not kept on insisting and kept on pushing Maran forward ¦ themselves have been pushing Maran forward. They would have left it to Raja and, and Baalu even if they wanted, or Raja and Alagiri and Kani would taken independent, nobody will, it is Congress they started this whole Maran dialogue.
VIR: Oh, I have been thinking that DMK nominated Maran.
RADIA: No. No. No. No, they did, they’ve sent a list earlier with five portfolios and Maran’s name because father was pushed ¦ so he had to send a list with everybody’s name on it. But he was hoping that Congress would come back and say, ‘Okay, we will accept Raja,’ or ‘We will not,’ or ‘Not Raja, we will give you only three portfolios,’ right? But they have not able to, the communication that’s been happening in Congress with DMK has been completely warped. They are talking to the wrong guys.
VIR: Okay. Let me try and get through to Ahmed.
RADIA: The, the simplest way is Kani [inaudible; 0:03:24].
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA: And Kani [inaudible; 0:03:27] will take them to her father directly.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: And they can have this, you know, whatever are the, the concerns, whatever they want to say, let them say in front of Kani.
VIR: And he’ll never mind. He will not mind.
RADIA: Yeah, they should say, they should say, ‘We don’t want Maran.’
VIR: Okay, done. Let me just try and get through and I’ll let you know soon.
RADIA: But the moment you drop Maran, your problem gets resolved because Alagiri has done okay.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: Okay. Give him this message. She is right now ¦
VIR: I just ¦
RADIA: [Inaudible; 0:03:51] She is in her South Avenue residence.
VIR: They have a mobile , you know?
RADIA: I just met her.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: And some Tamil Nadu Congress guys also want just now to meet her.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: I don’t think it needs to be done at that level. It needs to be done at, at Ghulam Nabi Azad level or ¦
VIR: Well, I’ll talk with Ahmed. I’m going to talk to him.

A follow-up discussion on cabinet berths for the DMK’s leading lights, including of course the Telecom Ministry for A Raja
NIIRA RADIA “Thanks ¦That was really great, you know, you all, I mean it was exactly as you had said”
DATE 23 May 2009 TIME 22:26:42
VIR: Hello.
RADIA: Sorry to disturb you.
VIR: Hi, no problem.
RADIA: They had a meeting.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: MK Narayanan [National Security Advisor at the time] had come.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: And as suggested it was Kani only.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: And they had a ¦ they are still stuck to their four formula and one independent.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: But these people will also think about it and let him know tomorrow morning. He is ¦
VIR: But they will not send him about the family or whatever, right?
RADIA: No. He clarified everything that you had told him.
VIR: Okay, very good.
RADIA: I think that there was no issue, and there was, and there was lot of relief from this Chief Minister’s side.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: And he realised that, you know, this is all being done by ¦
VIR: By Maran.
RADIA: ¦yeah. [inaudible; 0:00:42] But the thing is that it appears that he is still under a lot of pressure to take Maran, you know, so ¦
VIR: Where is this coming from, this pressure?
RADIA: It’s coming from Stalin and his sister Sylvie.
VIR: Okay.
Radia: So, I believe Maran has given about 600 crores to Dayalu, Stalin’s mother.
VIR: 600 Crores, okay?
RADIA: 600 Crores, is what I’m told.
VIR It’s hard to argue with that kind of pressure?
RADIA: Isn’t it. So, he is ¦
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA: ¦but no, but he doesn’t know, the father doesn’t, I mean…
VIR: Doesn’t realise what?
RADIA: Doesn’t realise that. But this is the feedback that Alagiri has got.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: And ¦
VIR: So, basically what they want is a little more flexibility and posts right? They want probably more cabinets or something?
RADIA: They are saying one more cabinet and Kani was independent charge.
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA: But if they stick to three and give independent charge, then Kani gets her independent and then Alagiri, Baalu and Raja come in?
VIR: That is not so bad, you know.
RADIA: Yeah, so I think ¦
VIR: ¦unless Maran is one of the cabinet.
RADIA: Yeah. But yeah, unless Maran is one of the cabinet. But I don’t think he can give it to three family members.
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA: That will send a very wrong signal.
VIR: That’s right.
RADIA: So, the best thing is, you know, if I don’t know whether Narayanan can say that, I mean he can’t say who should be the people. But he could probably go back and say that, you know, Baalu and Raja and Alagiri is the best option and Kani, you know.
VIR: And it’s good for the Government also. That doesn’t seem to be giving it to the family.
RADIA: Yeah. Yeah but then I don’t know whether he is in the position to take names, you know.
VIR: Because Baalu and Raja are saying it is being spread by Maran saying that we don’t, nobody wants them because they are crooks to advance his own career, you know.
RADIA: Yeah. Yeah. So, if there was anything that could be said which is, that, that you know, you know, if, if Narayanan was to come back tomorrow and say by looking, I think, we think that may be the three, and we’ll see a little later for the fourth one. But for now let’s just look at Alagiri, Baalu and Raja ¦
VIR: And, and, and see Maran ¦
RADIA: ¦and we can give independent to Kani.
VIR : Yeah. Makes sense.
RADIA: And, and that would be a, a good thing for him to say. And they are asking for environment and forest.
VIR: See, Narayanan will talk to PM. Then they have to communicate, he won’t talk to the Congress President.
Radia: Hmm?
VIR: He won’t talk to Congress president. So, somebody ¦ he’s PM’s man, he has gone on behalf of PM. So, they will, PMO will send its feedback to Congress party. So, that stage my friends will get a ¦.
RADIA: So they will in any case speak to Ahmed, you know.
VIR: Yeah. Yeah, they will. And nothing will happen without his getting involved.
RADIA: Yeah.
VIR: So, I’ll speak to him right away and convey this?
RADIA: Yeah. But maybe that, you know, he would have to specify then that we are not too comfortable with Maran ¦
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA: ¦and let it be Baalu and Raja because so much has been said and then it would also, also send a wrong message that if you don’t take Baalu and Raja now. But I don’t know whether they will say that?
VIR: I don’t know. Well let’s, let’s. No, harm trying.
RADIA: But therefore Kani, is asking for, he is not told Narayanan this, but they’ve suggested a couple of ministries.
VIR: Which one?
RADIA: But they are saying okay, telecom is going to Raja in any case.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: That, the old man is very clear about.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: But as far as the other two are concerned, he doesn’t mind. He is not very fussed about chemical, fertilisers and labour.
VIR: Okay.
RADIA: How funny, he would prefer that she gets independent charge Environment and Forest or something like that. You know, where she can get her teeth in and she is I think, she is very upright with it. So, they shouldn’t have any problem with that, or by the way aviation also.
VIR: What about Civil Aviation?
RADIA: And Civil Aviation.
VIR: It gives her the, it gives her the profile she would need, you know.
RADIA: She wants the aviation because, why she says aviation because she can do Chennai airport, Salem and Madurai and all that, you know ¦
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA: ¦it gives her the, the foothold for the political side.
VIR: We don’t have anyone there. Let me talk.
RADIA: Yeah. And she is intelligent and she will do just, because they are saying Environment and Forest and Aviation for Kani in independent charge.
VIR: I’ll pass this on?
RADIA: Yeah. Thanks. Thanks to you.
VIR: Yeah.
RADIA: That was really great, you know, you all, I mean it was exactly as you had said and ¦
VIR : Okay.
RADIA: They were very relieved and she was so relieved. So, wants to say thank you to you personally.
VIR: I’ll pass it ¦
RADIA: Let’s hope tomorrow it will—and Alagiri has got all those messages. My person came back and confirmed.
VIR: Oh, very good.
BARKHA DUTT IN CONVERSATION WITH NIIRA RADIA
As talks between the DMK and Congress (‘them’) broke down over joining the Government in May 2009, Radia was actively involved in opening channels between the two parties through, among others, television journalist Barkha Dutt
“Oh God. So now what? What should I tell them? Tell me what should I tell them?” BARKHA DUTT
DATE 22 May 2009 TIME 09:48:51
RADIA: Hi, did I wake you up?
BARKHA: No, no, no. I’ve been up, ya, most of the night. The stalemate continues, yaa.
RADIA: Yeah. Listen, the thing is that they need to talk to him directly. That is what the problem is.
BARKHA: Haan so, apparently PM’s really pissed off that they went public.
RADIA: But that’s Baalu’s doing, naa ¦ he was not instructed by Karunanidhi to do that.
BARKHA: Oh, he wasn’t?
RADIA: This is not. He was told to come away and tell Congress that.
BARKHA: And he went public
RADIA: Well, the media ¦ media, the media was standing outside.
BARKHA: Oh God. So now what? What should I tell them? Tell me what should I tell them?
RADIA: I’ll tell you what it is the problem and I have had a long chat with both his wife and with the daughter right
¦
BARKHA: Haan, haan.
RADIA: The problem is if the Congress has a problem with Baalu, if they have no problem with anyone. They need and go talk to Karunanidhi. They have very good relationship with Karunanidhi directly.
BARKHA: Correct, haan.
RADIA: Because you see, in front of Baalu, in front of Maran, they can’t talk.
BARKHA: Yeah
RADIA: So they have to tell him directly, there [are] enough Congress leaders in Tamil Nadu. They need to go in and tell him exactly the biggest problem is that the following of Alagiri is saying that you cannot give [inaudible] a cabinet [inaudible] and keep Alagiri in the MoS state.
BARKHA: That’s right. But will Karuna drop Baalu?
RADIA: He ¦ look, if you tell him that Baalu is the only problem. I would imagine, he will drop him.
BARKHA: But you see the problem right now is also over the choice of portfolios, naa ¦
RADIA: No. They’ve not said anything. The portfolios have not even got discussed.
BARKHA: Congress claims, for whatever it’s worth, that the DMK wanted surface transport, power, IT, telecom, railways and health.
¦
RADIA: You see, you see my honest advice ¦
BARKHA: Yeah.
RADIA: ..is that you tell them that they need to tell him directly that we are happy because Kani’s [Kanimozhi, DMK Chief Karunanidhi's daughter] got no issue being about independent. But Alagiri is now telling her that you cannot take an independent charge if Maran remains cabinet minister.
BARKHA: I see.
RADIA: And Congress is sending messages through media and through various sources, saying that. And Maran is telling everyone that he is the only acceptable person.
BARKHA: Person, yeah, yeah, yeah. That I know.
RADIA: But that’s not correct, naa?
BARKHA: No, I know. We’ve taken that off. We’ve taken that off.
¦
BARKHA: Also, but, but the Congress needs to tell Karunanidhi that we have not said anything about Maran.
BARKHA: Okay. Let me talk to them again.
RADIA: Yeah? The choice of candidate we will leave to you. We have some reservation about Baalu. And let them tell the reservation. And we have not said anything about Maran. We are not talking

In another telecon, Barkha Dutt offers Niira Radia the assurance that she is on the job as a reliable go-between
DATE 22 May 2009 TIME 10:47:33
BARKHA: Haan, Niira?
RADIA: Barkha, what I’m told is that the Congress yesterday, apparently, God knows who they are talking to in the DMK.
BARKHA: Haan, well must be Maran ¦
RADIA: Relayed no, they relayed that the infrastructure portfolio should not be given to Maran or Baalu.
BARKHA: No, that’s because they want to keep it for themselves.
RADIA: No, they wanted to; they didn’t want any infrastructure, that’s what Prime Minister said, so he said that’s why they give him labour, fertiliser, chemical and telecom, IT, they said for Raja. So what has happened is, is that message not relayed to Karunanidhi?
BARKHA: Oh I see!
RADIA: They might have told some minion down the line or told Maran who is not relaying the truth.
BARKHA: I think they have told Maran.
RADIA: Yeah, now what they need to do is, they need to speak to Kani so she can set up the discussion with her father, because even the Prime Minister’s discussion was ¦ she was the one who’s translating, and it was a very brief discussion for two minutes.
BARKHA: Okay.
RADIA: That we’ll try and work it out, and the let’s not you know take it a hasty easy decision. That’s the type of conversation that happened.
BARKHA: No, I’ll set it up as soon as they get out of RCR.
RADIA: What she saying is that, you know, that someone senior like Ghulam [Nabi Azad, senior Congress leader] because he is the one who is authorised to speak. ¦.
BARKHA: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
RADIA: Right? Was to speak to her then she can tell her father that I have got this message from the Congress.
BARKHA: Theek hai, not a problem. That’s not a problem, I’ll talk to Azad I’ll talk to Azad right after I get out of RCR [Race Course Road, presumably, the PM's residence].
RADIA: Yeah, and then she said when father lands, I can speak to him.
BARKHA: Okay.
+++
The two conversationalists touch base again
DATE 22 May 2009 TIME 15:31:29
RADIA: They will speak to her?
BARKHA: Yeah.
RADIA: Who? Ghulam?
BARKHA: Ghulam. Yeah.
RADIA: You know, the problem is she’s catching a flight at five haan, going back. Dayanidhi Maran is attending the swearing in when only Raja has been authorised to attend, so he’s gone and told his leader that Ahmed Patel has told me especially to attend the swearing in.
BARKHA: Ahmed says this is rubbish ¦
RADIA: But I am telling you but this. Karunanidhi’s very confused.
BARKHA: No, but why can’t Kani stay also and attend it?
RADIA: She doesn’t want to attend no because her father told her to come back. She has to follow what she’s father says, no. Call Ghulam then.
BARKHA: Let me call him.
RADIA: She’s leaving at five. She’s catching a flight at five.

Niira Radia and Barkha Dutt discuss cabinet composition possibilities with Raja’s inclusion or non-inclusion the big question
DATE 22 May 2009 TIME time 18:09:06
BARKHA: No, you see Congress’s condition is Baalu should not get surface transport. Not Baalu, DMK should not get surface transport, beyond individuals right?
RADIA: Correct, correct, and they are not individuals. Let me tell you one thing’s for sure, 3 plus 4 was yesterday; because of Maran, they wanted to make it 4 plus 3.
BARKHA: Okay!
RADIA: So, now it is back to 3 plus 4 that was already worked on the table?
BARKHA: No, so why does this formula not sound right then?
RADIA: Because of Alagiri naa, if you make Alagiri ¦ not cabinet. No, he’s not got cabinet.
BARKHA: Oh, Alagiri got what, according to these things?
RADIA: You see, according to her, he’s got Health, but he can’t be cabinet. Either Maran is not cabinet, either Raja is not cabinet or Baalu’s not.
BARKHA: Alagiri’s got Health and that’s a big compromise by Congress because they said we won’t give them Health. So that’s their face saver. No, but Alagiri, Health can be cabinet?
RADIA: Agreed, but then Raja is MoS.
BARKHA: Raja is MoS!

DATE 22 May 2009 TIME 19:23:57
BARKHA: You see, what happened was everybody I know in the Congress was at the swearing in, so I haven’t been able to speak with the top guys, and now I just finished and I am going to make my set of calls.
RADIA: Kani just landed in Chennai. Just now. I just spoke ¦
BARKHA: Where is Daya? Where is Maran?
RADIA: Daya didn’t turn up for the swearing in because he was called back, because he went and told Karunanidhi that I have been asked by Ahmed Patel to come for the swearing in. But the leader said then you join the Congress.
BARKHA: (laughs) So now?
RADIA: So Raja was the only one who’s authorised to attend which he’s done and Raja’s catching the 8:40 flight ¦
BARKHA: Okay
NIIRA RADIA WORKS THE PHONES
‘He (Raja) told me he said he needs help in the media. So I promised him I’ll help him. I’m helping him Ratan wherever I can but the thing is that every time you try and help him, he goes and makes stupid statements, you know.
KANIMOZHI IN CONVERSATION WITH NIIRA RADIA

NDTV ON REMARKS AGAINST BARKHA DUTT
In response to the Open Magazine cover story dated 20th November, 2010 NDTV would like to object in the strongest terms to the clear misrepresentation of conversations between Barkha Dutt and Ms. Nira Radia, that took place in May 2009.
In the pursuit of news and information, journalists talk to an array of people from all professional backgrounds; this case being an an unfolding political story on cabinet formation, after the general elections.
To caricature the professional sourcing of information as “lobbying” is not just baseless, but preposterous.
At every stage effective journalism involves engagement with a multitude of characters in the process of gathering news and information. To call this process “lobbying” is a serious and defamatory distortion of journalistic practices.
Ironically, when Barkha Dutt raised this smear campaign with the magazine’s editor, Manu Joseph, these are the responses she got.
1. “Dear Barkha; thats not true. I can send a copy of the magazine to you right away or you can check the story on the website. We have carried the Radia transcripts which include some of your conversations with her. In fact there is not much remarkable and you will not be embarrassed by it. There is one bit in the strap where the word “go-between” is used which I dont like myself. I would love to carry your response in the next issue if you would like to send one. My email id is manu@openmedianetwork.in.”
Once again,when she asked the magazine’s Editor why the basic tenets of journalism had not been followed in seeking her response before publishing these accusations, this is the reply she received.
2. “Dear Barkha, In the attachment is the cover story (divided into introduction and the transcripts).
We knew we were going ahead with the story only on Monday as Prashant Bhushan had submitted a petition in the Supreme Court on Monday attaching the same recordings that we had. We had to make a decision and we did. I wanted to get your response, but there was a possibility that if the word of the story got out (and, you know very well, it is not an exclusive) some people might do their best to ensure that we didn’t carry it.
If you would like to respond to the story at any length, please let me know (by Tuesday).
Warm regards”
The fact that the very editor of the magazine that has published this story accepts the distortion in the story’s caption and goes on to say that there is nothing “remarkable” in the content speaks for itself.
NDTV believes the magazine should first verify and corroborate facts before participating in a defamatory smear campaign.
These are unsubstantiated, baseless and defamatory allegations and we reserve the right to take appropriate action.

OPEN MAGAZINE REJOINDER TO NDTV
Via Twitter: No content of the Open Magazine has been taken down. If openthemagazine.com does not open, it is because the traffic is unprecedented. Open Magazine Editor Manu Joseph’s SMS to Barkha was distorted and used by NDTV as his statement. His response soon once traffic on website eases

Read old post first and then latest……..
the first part of your statement is oky; let me comment on the second part of your statement: your moral ethical statement that a person is cheap and characterless simply reveals your narrow minded brainless head.
Would like to know who funds these media houses.They can’t have luxorious studios & OB vans and corrrespondents in every nook & corner of the country with finance from ads collection.
whom did you pay to get yourself a degree in medicine or did Burkha dutt broker a deal to get u a degree
absou
barkha dutt is a idot fooling indian people
Maybe Radia diverted Barkha’s attention from Taj (her client) to Oberoi ( a competitor of Taj). Lobbying even in a national crisis….
the radia tapes ahve shown true color of NDTV and Burkaha dutta. Nowonder she was running a series of Pro Kashmir speratist campaign from NDTV. To get powerr from journalism she has tarnished juranalism ethis and values ( ??? ) . Waht a pity. no one you can believe in india now
The 28/11 attack was watched live by millions including the terrorists handlers in Pakistan. Where was Barkha’s common sense – people’s lives were at stake versus NDTV and Barkha’s right to air 28/11 live as it unfolded. Did NDTV utter a word in defence. Did Barkha utter a word in defence. Not any that I heard of. Chidambaram did have some words to say regarding this.
Now Barkha and NDTV are involved with people peddling influence and spreading corruption under the guise of building journalistic contacts. Why this exercise was not attempted with Ajmal Amir Kasav by NDTV with Barkha leaping all over his prison cell with her microphone.
It may be her personal life about her marriage partner but she has no right to thrust separatists views to the public. Has she visited the Pandit’s camp in Delhi -exiled from their land. Her collegues Nidhi Razdhan is a Kashmiri Pandit but very sober and balanced in her presentation. So was Sonia Singh. Where has she gone off to these days. Disgusted and quit at the goings on in NDTV ? Where is Srinivas Jain the hard hitting anchor. Left NDTV ?

absolutly correct. she is actually not a journalist…you know what i mean!
Barkha dutt is an epitome of how these stupid so called intelelctuals fool comman sense.Everytime India struck atragendy Barkha will show a muslim woman weeping, rest of Indians were no good. This foolish woman tried her best to challenge Indian people’s sensitivity by single handedly running a campaign against Modi, thanks to gujju bhai’s for teaching her a democratic lesson.
She is a traitor, without blinking an eyelid. Show her the prison.
Barkha dud,thanks for all the post poll surveys-and taking all the viewers for a jolly good ride.The channel also enjoyed high TRP’s-we all know how!
Please boycott NDTV. Watch DD News
I feel so proud to be an Indian NOW!!! After all these years of watching/hearing cheap front-bencher so-called journalists like Barkha, ranting and raving about how bad India was, she has been put in her place by great Indian public. As far as I care, she should be publicly crucified and never allowed to resurrect.
