New Delhi, May 25 — Whispers are growing louder in media corridors: Has Rajdeep Sardesai been pushed out of India Today? While there’s been no official confirmation, an intense storm is brewing online — all sparked by an alleged remark about Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The seasoned journalist has neither appeared on his regular primetime slot nor posted anything publicly since the controversy broke out. And with that silence, the rumor mill is spinning faster than ever.
A Comment, A Clip, A Firestorm
The controversy began when a short video clip surfaced online, showing Sardesai reportedly suggesting a rethink on India’s stance toward PoK in the interest of long-term peace with Pakistan. Whether the clip was edited or taken out of context is unclear — but the internet wasn’t in the mood for nuance.
Social media exploded. Within hours, hashtags like #RajdeepSacked and #PoKIsIndia began trending.
“This isn’t journalism, it’s betrayal,” one user fumed. Another posted, “We may not agree with him, but punishing someone for an opinion? That’s not democracy.”
Off the Air — and Off the Grid
Adding fuel to the fire, Sardesai hasn’t appeared on air for several days — a rare absence for someone who is usually front and center. Viewers quickly noticed, and speculation intensified. Was he suspended? Resigned? Silenced?
India Today, for its part, hasn’t issued any statement — and Sardesai’s social handles remain quiet.
Support & Criticism — Both Pour In
Public opinion is split.
Some critics are demanding accountability, accusing Sardesai of “crossing the line.” Others, including fellow journalists, have defended his right to question, debate, and provoke thought — even if the views are unpopular.
“Journalism isn’t about echoing what everyone wants to hear,” one journalist tweeted. “It’s about asking questions — tough ones.”
A History of Headlines
This isn’t the first time Sardesai has landed in trouble. Over the years, he’s faced multiple suspensions, trolling, and even legal threats — often for taking stands on contentious issues.
Yet, through it all, he’s remained one of India’s most talked-about — and polarizing — media figures.
The Verdict? Still Unknown
As of now, everything is speculation. There’s no official word, no confirmation, no denial. But in a media space where optics matter just as much as facts, his absence speaks loudly — even if he doesn’t.
Whether this silence is temporary or permanent, the bigger question remains: Where does India draw the line between opinion and offense in journalism?
