This week, host Akanksha Kumar is joined by Newslaundry’s Laasya Shekhar and the Wire's Saahil Murli Manghani.

Saahil discusses his investigative report about the campaign against Urdu through the Haldiram’s controversy on Sudarshan News, and the products sold by the company abroad. “Even if you want to spew hate, I think Sudarshan News did not do their research properly,” he says.

The panel goes on to discuss Laasya’s report on the JNU violence, where six students were injured as members of Left groups and the RSS students’ outfit ABVP clashed on the day of Ram Navami.

This, and a lot more, as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.

Tune in.
