Dear @navikakumar — First, Arnab Goswami ‘your mentor’ broke the sacred unwritten rule of TN while he was there, “Only safe stories on Bollywood, nothing majorly negative. Never to question the nefarious head.”

He ‘had to exit TN’ because he took on this head. (1/5)
He questioned Bollywood’s Pakistan connection. This broke the sacred rule (Read: Filmfare + money). Rest is history.

Everyone in the media fraternity knows this, so am sure you too know it.

Second, am sure you also faced the wrath (Read: Indian Hugh Hefner) during... (2/5)
...your SSR coverage. Arnab faced the similar situation. He didn’t give up. But you gave up. You took a massive ‘U-turn’. Big promises you made, no? Alas!

With all due respect, Ma’am, that’s called ‘vulturism in journalism’. (3/5)
And third, you know those ‘leaked chats’ mean nothing! You very well know it’s India Today, not Republic, in the original complain.

You or your reporter tactfully avoided the plea of a daughter, and called names to Partho Dasgupta, who was severely tortured in Taloja. (4/5)
Courage—you know that’s the foundation of journalism, along with truth. If at all you knew these two values you would’ve quit the nefarious gang.

You know you’re wrong. But you still did what you did.

It’s good. Because now entire India knows who the real ‘vulture’ is. (5/5)
