00:00It's a political slugfest, viewers, that's erupted over the appointment of retired Air
00:05Marshal Jitendra Mishra as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Ram Temple Trust.
00:09Questioning the appointment now, Congress says that the Chief Executive Officer's post
00:15belongs to Saints and alleged that Prime Minister Modi clearly no longer trusts the RSS and
00:22the VHP, that is, I beg your pardon.
00:25The party further said that the appointment of the new CEO will not bury the Chandachori
00:30issue.
00:30In fact, here's where Akhilesh Yadav, the Samajwadi Party Supremo, joins the tirade and targets
00:36the BJP further over the appointment, saying that God will never forgive Chadhavachori.
00:40He accused the Saffron Party of trifling with people's faith.
00:45Congress ally IUML2 has targeted the appointment of the new Chief Executive Officer, saying
00:50that the appointment of a retired Air Force officer is questionable because the government
00:54has its own people everywhere.
00:56BJP hit back at the opposition, saying that the questions that are being raised are being
01:00raised about a good person.
01:02Party further said that the new CEO will clean up the Temple administration.
01:06In fact, retired Air Marshal Jitendra Mishra viewers is the same man who was the hero who
01:11led from the front to protect India during Operation Sindhu.
01:15He told India today in his conversation exclusively with us that he's grateful for this opportunity
01:20and has sought the blessings of Lord Ram, so that he can discharge his duties as well.
01:28Sir, heartiest congratulations on being appointed the new CEO of the Sri Ram Temple Trust.
01:35Sir, what will be, what was your first reaction when your name was announced?
01:41First of all, thank you for the compliments.
01:45The first reaction was heart filled with gratitude and I consider myself a fortunate person to
01:51have got this opportunity.
01:53Oh, absolutely.
01:54And you are a very strong Sri Ram Bhakt, aren't you, sir?
01:59A very strong what?
02:00Come again, please.
02:01Sri Ram Bhakt, you believe in Maryadha Pursottam, Sri Ram, his ideology, his thinking.
02:05You are from Devaraya.
02:07Tell us more about this transition from Forge to Faith.
02:12Who isn't a Sri Ram Bhakt?
02:14True, sir.
02:17Absolutely.
02:18Sir, from Operation Vijay to Operation Sindhuur to this new task, what will your priorities be, sir?
02:28So, see, as far as the responsibilities of the CEO are concerned, they are available in
02:35the open domain on the side of the trust.
02:39The QR, it was just those responsibilities.
02:45They were looking for a person who they thought would be able to fulfill those responsibilities.
02:50And like I said, I am thankful to the First Committee and the trust for having selected me.
02:56And I look forward to doing my best in the responsibilities that have been placed on my shoulder.
03:03Sir, if I may take you back in history, if I, for a moment, and I want the young generation
03:09to know about operations, you know, Safed Sagar, Operation Vijay in Kargil.
03:15How difficult were the operations that you undertook, especially Tiger Hill, Mantua Dhalo,
03:22you know, that precision bombing?
03:24And what was your spiritual frame of mind along with your military frame of mind?
03:30The indoctrination, the training and the practice that we do in the Air Force,
03:35it is to make not only the difficult but the impossible possible.
03:39And that is what the Air Force has been doing for the last 90 plus years.
03:45Operation Safed Sagar was a very difficult operation.
03:48And as you would have seen on TV or read in the books, in the history books,
03:51that the Air Force once again proved their professionalism as they did in Operation Sindur.
03:57Oh, they absolutely did.
03:58And I was privileged, sir, like you'd recall, covering it on ground in Kargil.
04:03But, and also Operation Sindur, sir, Op Sindur, taking down an entire fighting force
04:11in under 30 hours, you know, of the adversary.
04:15Again, what was your thought process then, sir?
04:21I personally believe that when you are engaged in that task,
04:24you are so engrossed in it that you do not think about the rest of the environment.
04:28That is what is the professionalism of the Indian Air Force.
04:31And when I was doing it, I was doing it as a responsibility
04:34that was placed by the entire nation on my shoulders.
04:37And I will once again say that I consider myself fortunate that I was there
04:41and the nation needed me.
04:43And I was able to succeed with the help of my team
04:45and the blessings of the people of this country
04:47and the God Almighty.
04:50Oh, absolutely.
04:51And, sir, does that training, does that experience,
04:5539 years, does that help in your new task?
05:00I would presume so,
05:03because I believe that the managerial principles remain universal.
05:08We need to modify them depending upon the situation on ground at that time,
05:12whether it be corporate, television and media, military,
05:16or for that matter, an organization of the importance of Srinam Temple.
05:20And I intend to put in my best effort and my best foot forward
05:26with the assistance of the trust and with the help of my team.
05:29And I am very sure that we will succeed with the blessings of Lord Rama.
05:33Oh, absolutely.
05:35With the blessings of, you know,
05:37Maryadapur Sottam Sri Ram,
05:39the Divya Bhavya Ram Temple
05:40that the entire nation waited for for over 500 years.
05:44Now, one more question that I would want to ask you, sir.
05:48Now, you know,
05:49the difficulties that the trust has faced in the past,
05:53the allegations of darn embezzlement,
05:57how will you restore that faith and that trust, sir,
06:00in due process?
06:03Gaurav, as you know,
06:04that I have not yet taken over as CEO.
06:06I have just gone through the selection process.
06:08Though I have familiarized myself,
06:10and I am confident that I will be able to handle
06:12the responsibilities of the CEO.
06:14So far, as the strategy for the future is kata,
06:17I look forward to the guidance of the trust
06:19and the support of my team.
06:21I cannot make a strategy on my own,
06:23nor can I run it.
06:24I will have to have the guidance of the trust
06:26and the support of my team
06:27to first of all plan a strategy
06:29and then execute it.
06:31And I have the whole faith that
06:34Bhagavan Srinam will give me this support.
06:37Yes, sir, as I have told you,
06:39I have the support of my team
06:40and the whole country has seen
06:41that during the time of Operation Vijay
06:43or Operation Safed Sadar,
06:46it has been bombed the impossible peaks
06:48or precision bombing.
06:50Sir, is that the need of
06:52the duty of the Yudhaikrit Nishchaya
06:54in the operation of Sindur
06:57has also worked on the operation of Sindur?
07:01Yes, as I have told you,
07:03I think that our professionalism, innoctonation, training and practice is so bad that we can do impossible in the minutes.
07:15Like we have seen the operation of Sathir Sagar and Sindur.
07:19Yes, yes.
07:21The most important thing is that you were a very good fighter pilot, qualified flying instructor, you were a test
07:32pilot.
07:33And with the MiG-21, Miraj-2000, Su-30, MKI, you have seen all kinds of fighters.
07:41How do you see this new formation of the CEO of Sriram Mandir?
07:51Gaurav Ji, I would like to repeat this once again.
07:54In this situation, I have trust and trust in my team.
08:00And like I said, I have said, it will not be an assurance.
08:03And with these three things, I have a full assurance that we will be able to succeed in that way.
08:10Thank you very much.
08:12Thank you very much.
08:13Without Ram, there is no doubt about Ram.
08:15There is no doubt about Ram.
08:17So, whatever I get, it is not from my love or from others.
08:23But Sri Ram's advice is that they will take me to this job and I have given this advice.
08:28And I will continue to do this in this work.
08:31The new CEO has become a strong force.
08:34I will tell you very much.
08:36The good thing is that Sri Ram's grace is all good.
08:38The new CEO of Sriram Mandir is a strong force for the CEO of Sriram.
09:06we are not going to live in our lives, we are going to be able to perform their lives, professionally
09:17we are going to be able to do this. So today's news is very good.
09:22We are going to be able to do this. We are going to be able to do this.
09:37foreign
10:09foreign
10:13foreign
10:31and the
10:31devotees are hurt by what had happened over there and this has been happening for the
10:41last two three years regularly now there is this man called chambat rai we all knew that
10:46chambat rai was directly involved in this ram temple theft but there is no investigation
10:51this chamber try was there an investigation into his bank accounts was there an investigation into
10:58how the money has been trailed from this account to that account nothing has been done by the
11:02government now so therefore to distract the ram devotees from this chandachwari now they have
11:09gotten a new ceo and a set of board members over there so viewers let's quickly take a look as
11:17to
11:17who is retired air marshal jitendra mishra that in fact has made headlines now of course he was the
11:24hero of operation sundur but currently he is the man of the hour that's being discussed about well
11:31he is the first chief executive officer of the ram mandir trust because this is the first time this
11:37position has been created to overlook the operations especially the financial part of the ram mandir
11:43trust itself now retired he is retired from the air force in the month of may earlier this year
11:48itself and he was the former chair of the western air command and he led the western air command during
11:54the operation sundoor he served in the indian air force for nearly 40 years that is for long decades
12:01and over 3000 hours of flying experience is what he's clocked within those four decades he has been a
12:09fighter combat leader and a test pilot and worked on the sue 30 mki block four project he's also the
12:17ati vishisht sewa medal awardee that we are in fact referring to here so yes quite a distinguished officer
12:24who's had a remarkable career in the indian air force serving the country and now he's been bestowed
12:30upon with this responsibility of the ram mandir temple trust
12:34you
