With the controversy surrounding Doordarshan's Narendra Modi interview refusing to die down, Prasar Bharati Chief Executive Jawhar Sircar on Sunday said the issue related to the autonomy of the state broadcaster was in the public domain, adding his team had been trying to put the house in order for the past two years.

"Our job is to put our house in order first, which the board and my team are trying so hard for nearly two years," Sircar said when asked about the steps Prasar Bharati was planning to take in the wake of the controversy.

DD had on April 26 interviewed Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Modi in Gandhinagar, which was telecast the next day. Some of Modi's remarks relating to Priyanka Gandhi were edited out but became public through the social media.
