Ravish Kumar's Response On Being Labelled "Anti-Modi"
NDTV's Ravish Kumar, who has been named for the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award for "harnessing journalism to give voice to the voiceless" and his "unfaltering commitment to a professional, ethical journalism of the highest standards", speaks about the kind of journalism he practices and his coverage of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "I am not anti-Modi, Modi is anti-Ravish. BJP has boycotted my show. They do not appear on my show. So tell me how am I anti-BJP?" says Ravish Kumar. "Before 2014, many senior BJP leaders themselves used to call me saying they want to be interviewed. But suddenly what happened? They knew that I used to put hard hitting questions to the previous government also," he says.
