"Light Travels Faster Than Sound. That’s Why Some Folks Appear Bright Until They Speak" - This line was never more true then its for this lady and for the print in general!

[seshanm]

Commendable how Shekhar Gupta persists with Jyothi Malhotra despite her incompetence & bias...

[RSunil]

Trust JM to bring in the Hindutva angle🤦. The bias and venom against the Government comes through clear. Why are they persisting with her?

[schandar]

Poor developing country!! Jyoti spilled out what is in her heart and mind!!

[crkamathtube]

Jyothi consistently gets quality people on the show, and then doesnt let them speak.
And why this low self esteem of calling ourselves "poor, developing country"...why this mindset when the country is marching ahead!!!

[stdew]

Jyoti sounded depressed hearing good news for India

[naysayer]

The anchor needs to tone down a bit and use more subtle words. It does not show up well on her part to use brazenly brash language.

Most of the NRI are in middle east because these country does not accord citizenship to them. Most of the other countries such as USA, UK, Australia, Singapore, Canada, New Zealand do give citizenship to Indians. That is why about 90% NRI's are in GCC countries.

Jyoti, why don't you join WIRE and compete against Arfa? All the goodwill Sekhar and others have gained will disappear from Print if you continue here.

It is heartening to see that Indian leadership has responded to the shifting sands of international diplomacy so well.The space to maneuver within the the overtly restricted environment has been augmented by the economic heft and shrewd diplomacy for which our top leadership and skilled diplomats should be lauded.

Modinomics should be the new buzz word. The ambition is huge, the scope of work is grand and the rewards multi generational.
But #ModiHaiToMumkinHai 👍👍💯

The thumbnail reads it as "MBS in India and Modi's corridor". Of course, it is not Modi's corridor. Modi is much smaller than India. However, he deserves full credit for this incredible achievement. The corridor will integrate European technology, Arab capital, , and Indian markets. If executed well, it could turn out to be an Indian Ocean economic miracle.

Ms Jyothi's volatility and impatience appears as frequent interruptions for the guests. She is always in the hangover of taking bytes from the rotten politicians. Ms Jyothi, can't you wait until one gentleman completes his talk? It was so irritating especially it felt like her shouting match.

[venkateshthangavel]

Only time when shekar gupta got a call from Ratan Tata and complained about his reservation ( ratan is a investor for print)is bcoz of our grt motor mouth Jyothi malhotra calling a person in a conference that “bald head” person
Jyothi still lives in a congress ruled world and we can’t complain that her age is on the downside

[surenderbhutani]

I am happy to realise that our former ambassadors are very knowledgeable persons. Their information and analysis are commendable. Dr Surender Bhutani in Warsaw

[Kanthavel.KV.Chennai.Bharat]

A corridor means development of infrastructure - ports, roads, shipping lines, free trade zones and a concerted trade policy, MFN status etc by stakeholding countries - it will trigger economic activity, employment opportunities & overall increase prosperity among stakeholders, It's an excellent idea by PM Modiji.

[kmgeorge]

If the lady keeps mouth shut the forum would've gone as expected

[johndoe-vcwe]

Great interview with Jyoti as usual. This comment to be seen as counter to comments posted against

The former Indian high commissioner to Australia has been ordered to pay a penalty of almost $100, 000 to a former domestic worker, who he had paid less than $10 a day for more than a year's worth of work.

The penalty comes on top of a previous order that required Navdeep Suri Singh to repay Seema Shergill about $136, 000, plus interest, for work she completed at the then-high commissioner's residence in Canberra.

Last year the Federal Court heard Ms Shergill worked seven days a week for 17.5 hours a day over a 13-month period between April 2015 and May 2016.

It heard she was paid the equivalent of about $3, 400 for her work,

Did Jyothi just call MBS and MBZ tweedledee and tweedledum? WTH? While name calling is an old trope of the left liberals, majority of Indians including RW whom the Aljazeera vocifereously opposses do not endorse such namecalling to global leaders
