Madhu Purnima Kishwar @madhukishwar Indian origin Samir Shah has been chosen as chairman of @BBCNews. You know the main reason why Samir Shah got this job?

Because he is a converted Muslim !

He was raised a Jain in India before coming to England in 1960 aged 9 and later converted to Islam to marry his wife Belkis.

One of Jainism's guiding principles is to always tell the truth. By retaining his Hindu name, Samir Shah is deceiving gullible ....

The @BBC ...has certainly played a smart game: chosen a man with a Hindu name to do a hatchet job ..

Hindu name - a Muslim inside. Tell me how would you describe such a man?

“This is a crisis point for the BBC. Its gaslighting of Jews must end.
By Danny Cohen, Telegraph, November 9, 2025.

The resignations of Director General Tim Davie and CEO of BBC News Deborah Turness became inevitable from the moment The Telegraph published Michael Prescott’s leaked report into journalistic standards at the BBC.

The Prescott report revealed not only that the BBC’s flagship programme Panorama had faked a video of President Trump, but that both Mr Davie and Ms Turness had known about it for six months and did nothing about it. This amounted to a cover-up of the most serious of editorial failings.

But this crisis is not just about the faking of the Trump video. The Prescott Report reveals systemic bias across a range of the BBC’s output and the failure of senior management to address it. It is an extraordinary and detailed indictment of a leadership and a culture in which standards of impartiality have taken a dramatic fall.

Chief amongst this, the Prescott Report has exposed systemic anti-Israel bias and antisemitism at BBC Arabic and problems of impartiality with the BBC’s wider coverage of the Israel-Hamas war.

For this, the BBC’s Chairman Samir Shah owes the Jewish community an apology. The Prescott Report provides prima facie evidence that the BBC has been gaslighting its Jewish audience. It reveals that Mr Shah, Mr Davie and Ms Turness received an internal report detailing evidence of systemic and widespread anti-Israel bias and antisemitism at BBC Arabic….

Non-Muslims promoting Islam and Muslims may think that they are pushing DEI, but they are actually pushing jihad.

Muslims are making their move in the West now because the tide has turned in their favor.

I have watched several podcasts on the dysfunction at the BBC. From what I gather, Shah is not that bad of a guy. He’s not totally PC / Woke although he is conventionally liberal. He tries to do a good job. He may be in over his head. Or he may be up against such an entrenched insanely Woke culture that there is nothing he can do about it.
