Congress party has demanded a public apology from Rajat Sharma. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh wrote on Twitter: “Rajat Sharma is a well-known media personality. He has his own political leanings, but it is completely unacceptable for a key spokesperson of the Congress, who is a woman, to use such derogatory language. This has been and should be strongly condemned; an unconditional public apology is urgently needed in this matter.”
However, Rajat Sharma and India TV are being criticized on social media. The video quickly went viral, drawing strong reactions from the public and other journalists. Criticizing Sharma’s conduct, a user posted, “Shame on you @RajatSharmaLive. You are pathetic. How can a senior journalist behave like this?”
Rajat Sharma is already a controversial journalist. Countless people have written on social media that Rajat Sharma can often be seen making fun of Congress leaders, while he does not have the courage to ask questions to the ruling party. Ankit Mayank has written on Gaya, will the female anchors Anjana, Rubika, Shweta or Palki at least condemn now?”
