This week on NL Hafta, we discuss the Comptroller and Auditor General’s audit of Delhi’s power distribution companies. We then move on to Cobrapost’s Operation Black Rain & how the English television media chose to ignore it. We also discuss PM Modi’s UAE trip & the speech he delivered to the Indian diaspora. The team also discusses Tehelka being served a legal notice for listing Bal Thackeray as a terrorist in its cover and the police crackdown on FTII students. We close with a brief discussion about Mulayam Singh Yadav’s comments on gangrape and Rahul Gandhi’s visionary sarkar. We also dedicate a song to Rahul Gandhi.
