Reporters Without Orders Ep 287: Brunt of G20 beautification, communalism in classrooms
This week, host Gurmehar Kaur is joined by Newslaundry’s Avdhesh Kumar and Pratyush Deep.
Avdhesh reported that the poorest in the national capital have been rendered more vulnerable as a direct impact of the Modi government’s beautification drive ahead of the G-20 Summit. He delved into the many slum demolition drives and evictions that have left people with nowhere to go. Several communities living in camps set up for flood-affected people have been compelled to return to the deluge-hit areas, while many slums have been veiled behind green sheets and banners.
Pratyush reported that a Delhi government school teacher was booked for allegedly passing communal slurs and insulting Muslim students in the classroom. An FIR was filed against teacher Hema Gulati after four students of class 9 accused the teacher of passing communal remarks. He spoke about the nonchalant approach of the school authorities and the police in the matter.
Tune in.
