The NDTV celebrated its 25th birth anniversary on Dec 15,2013 by inviting 25 living legends of India for honour by President Pranab Mukherjee.
In an abnormal departure from usual practice, the celebration took place at Rashtrapati Bhavan.Vigyan Bhavan is the legitimate and earmarked venue for all such functions on usual payment basis.
Who allowed misuse of the President’s house by a private TV Channel ? Who paid the bill? Will the President’s Sectt throw open Bhavan to other industrial houses for holding their wedding functions?
Mukesh Ambani was among the 25 living legends. He, reportedly holds majority stakes in 27 News channels. What were the criteria for selecting the 25 living legends. Many of them might not have cleared their outstanding income tax dues.
But ,who cares?
Pranab Da’s proximity to the Ambanis is legendry. And, the NDTV is considered pro-Congress Dignity of Rashtrapati Bhavan has been lowered besides laying a bad precedent.
