Jawhar Sircar on 'Khela Hobe' and how he will play the game in politics | The Interview

In the latest edition of The Interview, former chief executive officer of Prasar Bharati Jawhar Sircar speaks to Hindustan Times and criticises Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party government at the Centre. He also cites three reasons why he thinks that the NHRC report on West Bengal violence is not credible. Sircar, who has recently been nominated by the Trinamool Congress to the Rajya Sabha, spent more than four decades serving the union government in various capacities. The Rajya Sabha seat of Bengal's ruling party was left vacant after its former lawmaker Dinesh Trivedi jumped ship to the BJP ahead of the assembly elections in the state earlier this year. Watch the full interview for more.

Great interview by Mr. Sircar. His trial by fire in politics has begun. All the best for your future life sir. May you perform at the best of your abilities.
Coming from someone, who reads your columns and books.

A very candid and frank Talk.
Tough questions and straight forward replies.

Jawahar Sircar fully deserves the RS seat as a very talented senior. His interview by HT staff is just a ploy to defame him. India is a diverse country and Sircar will definitely bring very good ideas on each and every legislation of Government of India to protect the all diverse groups of citizens. His experience in government matters are excellent. TMC has sent many good person to RS and LS. Jawahar Sircar is certainly a big name in the list.

Great! How can an interviewer upstage an honest, Bengali intellectual !

[swatigautam]

The interviewer seems ill experienced and horribly biased!
Strange. Given that she looks senior and experienced...

[sudipdeysarkar]

As per talented and qualifications, he is fully deserves the RS seat...He is very knowledgeable guys...He can win any battle against any Central political issues..

[birendas]

An interview straight from the heart!
He hasn't mellowed down a bit also!
In RS surely he will have lot of memorable innings.

[mousumidr]

Congratulations Jawharda! We need more people like you. The impudent interviewer seems to have an agenda of brickbatting. She is a shame to journalism and seems to be a paid chamcha of the central govt. Shame on this kind of journalism. HT take a note!

[debabratabobbyroy]

The interview had poor knowledge of JS and had not done proper research about him. She looked miserable and very inadequate to interview a master bureaucrat like JS who floored her with every questions she adked. I won't be surprised if after this any one would try to interview him or ask him the questions about his term as a govt official!

[profbhattacharya]

Due to personal ambition of Mamata Banerjee Anti-Bengali sentiment may be growing up across India as Mamata Banerjee has been trying to establish Bangladeshi imperialism across India and Bengali community residing other may face trouble due to personal over-ambition of Mamata Banerjee.

[profbhattacharya]

India is the country of various languages, cultures, races and ethnic groups. Why Mamata Banerjee is trying to establish Bangladeshi Imperialism across India? why she is creating Anti-Bengali sentiment across India due to her personal ambition?

[ngthakurta]

Mr. Sircar is one of those bureaucrats who were denied the gravy train by Modi-ji. Now they have no other option but to yell all sorts of derogatory against the most popular Prime Minister this country has seen in several decades. And India is in safe hands. Also the party called Trinomool that he is going to represent is nothing but a group of handpicked hooligans who have taken Bengal to the docks and now trying to set their sinister focus to other parts of the country to turn those into lawless land like Waste Bengal.
