ior colleague of Rajat Sharma in The Daily, Baljeet Parmar reveals how Rajat Sharma discredited Parmar from a legitimate award winning news story and attributed the award winning story to Prabhu Chawla, the then Indian Express Editor. This, Rajat Sharma, did while ignoring the exclusive scoop- series by Baljeet Parmar on Indian gold being pledged abroad. 27:00 Parmar further recalls and exposes a deeply insecure Rajat Sharma feigning calls from mighty and high ups including likes of L K Advani and Atal Bihar Vajpayee, to fake a reputation before his juniors. This tactic, however, was most ironically debunked as Rajat Sharma's PAs informed journalists of temporarily disconnected phone lines in his office even as Rajat Sharma would feign imaginary calls from Advanis and Vajpayees during one such instance. 30:34 Parmar's most shocking revelation comes as he recalls how Rajat Sharma had ghost writers for his editorials. Some colleagues finally cornered Rajat Sharma one day and forced him to write an editorial on any topic of his choice. Failing in this otherwise mundane task for any Editor worth his calling, Rajat Sharma chose to leave office before finally quitting the organisation in mid 1990s
