This is what the CNN-IBN proclaims about it’s idiot Editor-in-Chief. The 24-hour, English-language news cnahnel is spearheaded by renowned television journalist Rajdeep Sardesai as the Editor-in-Chief. Those who are aware of media know very well how perverted this journalist Rajdeep Sardesai is. Son of India’s former Cricket Player, the veteran Deelip Sardesai, who was proud about his country. The Son is an antinational element and this he has shown umpteen number of times in the past, in his articles as well as the shows conducted by him.He is a Big Black Spot on all Maharashtrians. we should condemn him and the cnahnel. Yet another interesting thing. The famous Marathi Newspaper Lokmat has a joint venture with this perverted journalist. It’s IBN Lokmat. Now Lokmat is owned by one MP, Mr Vijay Darda and one MLA, Mr Rajendra Darda. Do they have te right to sit in the august houses Parliament of India and Maharashtra Assembly?
