This week’s host Shivnarayan Rajpurohit is joined by Newslaundry’s Prateek Goyal and Basant Kumar.

Prateek talks about his report on the increasing interference of Hindutva outfits in the Christian schools of Madhya Pradesh. The situation, he explains, has worsened to such an extent that it has led to FIRs against school authorities, and even raids, and vandalism in schools. Even teachers are threatened by students, Prateek adds. 

Basant reported from ground zero in Ahmedabad, where the Air India plane crashed killed more than 270 people. He shares his experience of talking to families who lost their loved ones and how difficult it was for the authorities to match DNAs of the people who got killed in the crash with their families. Another report from Ahmedabad looked at how the everyday lives of 17 people, who weren’t passengers, were also cut short in an instant in the plane crash.

Tune in.
