In a panel discussion in NDTV on Thursday night, anchor Nidhi Razdan asked BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra to leave the show, after he accused the channel of having an agenda against him and his party.
While chairing a panel discussion on the BJP’s latest ban on cattle slaughter, Razdan went to author Sanjoy Hazarika for his views on the issue, when both of them were interrupted by Patra.
Patra accused the channel of not giving him the time to speak and respond to the other panelists. He then went on to accuse the channel and Razdan of having a bias against the BJP as well as himself.
When Hazarika asked why Patra was interrupting him, the spokesperson said:
Razdan promptly asked Patra to apologise for leveling such an accusation, and if he didn’t he was free to leave the show.
Patra refused to leave and threatened to disrupt the debate claiming he would rather “expose NDTV’s agenda throughout the show”.
