Prasar Bharati Chief Executive Officer Jawahar Sircar has once again written to the Information & Broadcasting Ministry protesting the manner in which the public broadcaster had little say in its own matters; stating that it can be held responsible only if it monitors the News Division.

The latest missive was sent on August 8 as word spread of DD News Director General S. M. Khan being placed on "compulsory wait''. In this letter, Mr. Sircar drew attention to several representations received from the Director Generals of News of Akashwani and Doordarshan "after the last round of transfers that was done recently without the minimum modicum of consultations with the News Units working in Prasar Bharati''.
