Reporters Without Orders Ep 253: FIR over Iqbal poem, Koregaon Bhima

This week, it’s an all-Newslaundry panel as Basant Kumar is joined by Avdhesh Kumar and Prateek Goyal. 


The conversation begins with their recent reports. Avdhesh points to his experience in UP’s Bareilly, where a principal and teacher were booked after students at a government school recited ‘lab pe aati hai dua’ – an iconic poem by Allama Iqbal. Prateek then talks about his coverage from Koregaon Bhima. “Koregaon Bhima seems to be a point of inspiration, identification, unification and consolidation for Dalits today,” he says.


Avdhesh also mentions how Vishwa Hindu Parishad members told him that students should be asked to chant the Hanuman Chalisa and ‘Jai Sri Ram’ instead of such poems.


Tune in.
