The issue of Central Vigilance Commission’s “strong condemnation” regarding Prasar Bharati’s CEO’s activities was raised in the Parliament on Monday (02-08-2010). Raising the issue during Zero Hour in the Rajya Sabha, CPI member Syed Azeez Pasha wanted to know why the government was silent on the issue.

         “The Central Vigilance Commission has passed strictures against the functioning of CEO in a minimum of five different cases,” the CPI MP said. Mr Pasha said infighting between members of the Prasar Bharati board has also led to “a portrayal of an organisation in drift.”

         "It is mystifying why government is so quiet on the goings on in Prasar Bharati".
Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni was present in the house, when the member raised the issue.
