EP 165 - Exposing Global Media's 'Bias' on Modi & India with Shashi Shekhar

Shashi Sekhar is the former CEO of Prasar Bharati, India's public broadcaster. He assumed office in 2017 and served a five-year term till 2022. An alumnus of IIT-Bombay, he was the youngest and first non-bureaucrat to hold the public office since its creation in 1997.

In the latest episode of the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, former CEO of Prasar Bharati opens up about the Western media's 'obsession' with Prime Minister Modi, often calling him an 'authoritarian leader' – a direct attack on India's democratic setup.

He also explains why Global media is ‘biased’ against PM Modi and continues to defame India’s democracy.

Shashi Shekhar speaks up about how these foreign media outlets have repeatedly attacked India's majority population, the Hindus, and their sentiments around the newly inaugurated Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

He also advises foreign journalists not to cross a line and hype up India's internal issues, which in turn may create a security situation in the country.
