Panchjanya,Infosys, Tatas- why is the right wing attacking Corporate India | Barkha Dutt

After an article critical of Infosys appeared in RSS friendly journal Panchjanya and alleged that Infosys was working with "anti-nationals and the 'tukde-tukde' gang", RSS distanced itself and said that Infosys has had a seminal contribution to the progress of India.

Join Barkha Dutt as we discuss this development with Political Analyst Sandip Ghose, Sucheta Dalal, Govind Ethiraj, Madhavan Narayanan, and Manipal Global Education's Mohandas Pai.

Who are they to go and distribute anti-national certificates. They are themselves anti nationals in the first place. Infosys is the pride of Bengaluru and Karnataka. RSS has hurt all kannadigas pride. Is that only few state people can have 'Asmitha'.

Mohandas Pai, you have been feeding the snake with milk, now when bites why angry?

[saurabbbhardwaj]

Hilarious to see hindutva Mohandas getting a taste of hindutva madness.

[saurabbbhardwaj]

So Mohandas says it's fine if term antinational is used against everyone.
But for his company and the corporate world.
Idiotic

[neerajsadiq]

I am thinking of Narayan Murthy and Sudha Murthy what must they be thinking in this age after giving so much for the country

[ckjaidev]

Mohandas Pai seems to be at the receiving end now of what he keeps perpetrating time and again

[somnathk]

Barkha none of the panelists have the guts to call a spade a spade. We all know who the culprits could be. Obviously the IT dept themselves. They stand to loose the most if this portal is a success. Infosys is the easy scapegoat. ITdept has to ensure the smooth coordinating effort.

If Sandip doesn't know Panchajanya publication and that it's related to sangh parivar then I don't see any reason why he should be called to the panel.
I think the debate was completely off track. When Obama care portal came online it crashed. One of the Big 5 consulting company built it and then had to be paid millions more to fix the portal. No body in US called that company as Anti National.
Also dragging Narayana Murthy into this when he is not anymore associated with the company is just ridiculous.
Mohan deserves it anyways. He has suported all the atrocities of this govt so let him face it now.
It's funny to hear about IT projects, management, change mgmt etc I felt as if I was in a lessons learnt session at the end of a project. 😂

I remember, around 2014 when BJP was going to come in, Mr Naryan Murthy had said ... Modi should be given a chance .... Wonder what he thinks now ...
Also, one is reminded of Raghav Chadha's comment 'you reap what you sow' ... On Mr Goyal's attack on Tata

People were really thinking that Sangh will be just another party to rule India and it will not matter .... How wrong were they ...
But it actually 'project agyakaari' ... And they won't be satiated by lynchings of Dalits and Muslims ...

[superjrao]

If it was Wipro by Azim Premjis company … we need to see what would have been the reaction

[superjrao]

In this fiasco.. no body is making responsible the officials of IT department who have accepted the portal .. don’t they know “one leg on ground always “why did they not continue the previous portal…

[znc]

There is some thing for you to learn from Ms Sucheta Dalal about subtlety of serious noises are only adding to the cacophony of the 'IT Cell'.

[divakarannair]

The old portal was doing fine. They could have upgraded instead of going for brand new portal and wasting tax player's money

[godavarthynarasimharao]

Mr. Pai: he is neither angry nor hurt, he is a stooge of this govt.he is just…..

[avinashkarnick]

The off hand article written by the editor of a journal which also incidentally happens to be the mouthpiece of a supposedly hardcore rightist outfit, is not pointing towards a hidden conspiracy of any kind, but a juvenile act by a group of individuals in an attempt to please the ruling establishment.

The RSS is the worlds largest UNREGISTERED NGO …..this allows them to enjoy authority without any responsibility. It’s not the first time the RSS is distancing itself from the action of one of its many Hydra-heads

[xyzabccba]

11:00 ; there seems to be a method in this madness ; first it was Piyush Goyal ranting against Tatas n now the panchajanya against Infosys ; all this could be to deflect attention from the largesse showered by a Gujju pm on his Gujju business cronies such as the Adanis & Ambanis …

[AbhirupSen]

A different pai showed up here, how convenient. Ghose.. What can be said about this guy, Dutt had to shut him up so many times

[triptop]

Lol what would have happened if WIPRO would've gotten this contract?

[shankarr]

Nobody is above criticism, Not Burkha, Not Infosys. Not mohan Das. Fact is Infosys has done a very shoddy work in IT portal and GST portal. This needs to improve. This criticism is very well deserved . Ask the users of these portals to understand how shoddy this work is.
