Reporters Without Orders Ep 234: Delhi’s excise policy, plight of Rohingya children

This week, it’s an all-Newslaundry panel as Nidhi Suresh is joined by Shivnarayan Rajpurohit and Pratyush Deep.

They discuss Shiv’s report on Delhi’s new excise policy and allegations of irregularities against deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia. “The problem with the policy lies where the government should have held consultation with all stakeholders, but it didn’t,” Shiv says.

The conversation shifts to Pratyush’s report on the plight of Rohingya refugees in light of union minister Hardeep Singh Puri’s U-turn on an announcement that triggered speculation about government housing for the community. Speaking about how children from the community are affected, Pratyush says, “It’s a dream for them to be taught in a school but with no shelter and security, It might just be a dream.”

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

Tune in.
