Where can we watch this movie?

[@surajkanttripathi7442]

There was a time when i used to watch specially NDTV for news but later when i saw Ravish Kumar chanting for the corrupt leaders of J&K and the political parties controlled by few families, that cleared that the reporting against government on genuine issues is never wrong but strategically defaming few good steps of the government for the sake of appeasing few political parties. That proved that none of the reporters are doing true reporting. Even ravish seamed to have got funded by Congress and allies. There was nothing wrong in questioning government.. but just under the hidden agendas when you start defamation on defence abilities and start chanting for the corrupt Congress family... Why didn't you question Lalu Prasad Yadav? Priyanka Gandhi Robert Vadra..how the Kejriwal joined hands with those whome he himself called corrupt before joining politics... The problem was your biased reporting under the hidden agenda... so better don't pose yourself as the true reporter because you were and are settling scores to calm down your personal grudge... #Ravish Kumar
