This week on NL Hafta, it’s an all-Newslaundry panel with Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Raman Kirpal, Anand Vardhan, Jayashree Arunachalam and Mehraj D Lone.
The discussion starts with Rahul Gandhi’s speech in the Parliament, and how the opposition and media responded to it. Jayashree comments on the chaos it generated, saying: “The measure of the speech right now is on the facts that he made but on how angry it had made the BJP, as it clearly touched a nerve.” Mehraj brings up the importance of discussing issues raised in the speech and says, “Inequality and the idea of a nation are very important discussions at the moment.”
