Soni maintained that she would wait for the meeting of the Prasar Bharati Board
before commenting on the imbroglio between CEO BS Lalli and Arun Bhatnagar who
has tendered his resignation as Chairman. She said she would refrain from commenting
on the issue as the matter is sub judice.

an ex-IPS officer, Dr. S Jagathrakshakan is a second time
Member Parliament, having been a member in the 13th Lok Sabha.
