Jawhar Sircar on 'Khela Hobe' and how he will play the game in politics

Published on Aug 01, 2021 11:37 am IST

In the latest edition of The Interview, former chief executive officer of Prasar Bharati Jawhar Sircar speaks to Hindustan Times and criticises Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party government at the Centre. He also cites three reasons why he thinks that the NHRC report on West Bengal violence is not credible. Sircar, who has recently been nominated by the Trinamool Congress to the Rajya Sabha, spent more than four decades serving the union government in various capacities. The Rajya Sabha seat of Bengal's ruling party was left vacant after its former lawmaker Dinesh Trivedi jumped ship to the BJP ahead of the assembly elections in the state earlier this year. Watch the full interview for more.
