"So if Pawan Bansal only resigned after 8:30 (pm yesterday), how come channels were announcing that he had resigned hours earlier? Shoddy journalism?" Omar wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.Com.
Omar said the TV channels should not have gone ahead with announcing Bansal's resignation before he had submitted his resignation.
"You can say he's been asked to resign or has decided to resign but he hasn't actually resigned until he hands in that letter of resignation," he added.
