Subhash Chandra's gossip

IN Media Watch Briefs | 23/01/2016

Does the PMO screen books that the PM agrees to release at 7 RCR? If they scanned  Zee founder Subhash Chandra’s autobiography their either missed or decided to ignore some tales. One on former PM Vajpayee who would not appear on Aap ki Adalat before the 1999 elections because he feared Rajat Sharma would ask him about his links  with the Hinduja brothers  and with “his friend” Mrs Kaul. He did the show after being assured the questions would not be asked. The other story is about Sushma Swaraj as I and B minister meeting Murdoch in New York to tell him not to do a merger with Zee TV. And promising govt. support to Star if he called off the deal. Which Murdoch did. Chandra suggests this was done at the behest of someone who was plotting against him.
