vayuu1 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 New Delhi: Businessman and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra lost his cool at an event in Delhi on Saturday when a reporter asked him about his alleged involvement in land scams in Haryana. Instead of merely refusing to answer the question, Robert Vadra got angry and pushed the reporter's mic away from him and walked away. "Are you serious, are you nuts" Vadra was seen continuously asking the reporter. Vadra and his security officers were also heard threatening the video journalist to turn the camera off. In an interview with CNN-IBN, ANI Editor-in-chief Smita Prakash said that an enraged Vadra had asked his security guard to ensure that the video clip was deleted immediately. "Our reporter was pressurised to delete the clip. That is when we entered the scene and refused to delete it," Smita added. The incident has received a lot of scrutiny and criticism as various leaders react to the event. "This is deplorable and very unfortunate. I condemn such behaviour be it coming from anyone," CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta was heard saying. On the other hand, BJP spokeperson Shaina NC congratulated the media for exhibiting guts to have asked such a question whose answer the public wanted to know. "Our public is very perceptive and the media has shown great zeal when it comes to doing its job, " she added. Robert Vadra has been accused of taking an interest-free loan of Rs 65 crores and heavy bargains on land from DLF Limited in exchange for political favors. In response to the accusation, DLF had responded saying that it had dealt with Vadra as a private entrepreneur and that the loan was Business Advance which was given to make payments for land purchased from Vadra.

Son-in-laws of influential politicians should also respect law of the land and not influence/bribe governments into twisting things for monetary benefits.

He was answering very cheerfully when reporter asked about his fitness consciousness etc. The shrewd reporter was of course trapping him, then he suddenly asked this question about land deal and Vadra's face was like, Fas gaya. lol

It was an inauguration function as you say' date=' not a press conference.[/quote'] As much as I know that Vadra is a crook and should be questioned by the media, I agree with the above posts. There's a time and place to ask something. On the topic of Vadra - it seems he still thinks that Cong is in power.
Sachin=GOD Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Now security outside his house has been increased :WTF:
Raghav_12 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Lol.. all people who were justifying assault on journalist Rajdeep Sardesai saying that he shouldn't have asked those questions at that place, are jumping here to protect rights of a journalist. :hysterical:
Sachin=GOD Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Awesome joke - the real reason why Vadra said 'Are you serious, Are you serious.......are you nuts' to the reporter is that the reporter asked him whether he knew that there was another India-Sri Lanka series starting tomorrow.
