This week, Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, Shardool Katyayan, and Jayashree Arunachalam are joined by EastMojo executive editor Amit Kumar.

On the fresh wave of violence in Manipur, Amit says people have been suffering as the violence only halted when the state was flooded. He emphasises that there is no official confirmation about the alleged drone attacks by Kuki groups.

On the Ganesh Chaturthi meeting between CJI DY Chandrachud and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Jayashree says the Supreme Court has its own code of ethics, which says that “a judge must practise aloofness in consistency with the dignity of his office”. She adds that this act of pooja together dents the perception of the separation between the judiciary and the executive. Abhinandan and Raman say this is Modi’s effort to gain political mileage ahead of the Maharashtra elections.

This and more, tune in!
