NL Hafta – Episode 25
The Newslaundry team – and it’s just us this time – celebrates the silver jubilee episode of #NLHafta. We discuss Yakub Memon’s execution and Madhu recounts how she managed to get Memon’s interview in prison, back in 1994. Then the team moves on to talk about the social media “outrage” on the Tuktuki case. We also discuss Caravan’s report on the Essar leaks and defamation suits against the media in the past week. Finally, we discuss Arvind Kejriwal vs. Najeeb Jung and we also dedicate a song to Kejriwal.
