The government today said the Director General of Doordarshan News reports to Prasar Bharati for all operational purposes. Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, Rajyavardhan Rathore said this in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha. Mr Rathore said the functioning of Prasar Bharati is governed by the Prasar Bharati Act and the government ensures that provisions of the Act are complied with in letter and spirit.'<br/><br/>Earlier, a controversy had erupted over an Information and Broadcasting Ministry order appointing Veena Jain as Director General of DD News which had said that she would report to the ministry for all purposes. However the ministry had then modified its order and said she would report to Prasar Bharati for all operational purposes and to the ministry as Officer on Special Duty.
