Chhota Hafta 267: AAP’s response to Delhi riots, Jyotiraditya Scindia, coronavirus pandemic, and more
In this episode of NL Hafta, Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande and Mehraj D Lone are joined by Arfa Khanum, senior editor at The Wire.
The conversation kicks off with the Aam Aadmi Party’s involvement — or lack of it — in the aftermath of the Delhi violence. Manisha recalls many volunteers said they didn’t see many AAP workers on the ground in the early days after the violence. The panel also discusses what “patriotism” means to them, whether the frenzy around the coronavirus pandemic is justified, and the state of India’s healthcare system.
