Reporters Without Orders Ep 182: Hindu mob assaults Muslim bangle seller in Indore
This week, host Akanksha Kumar is joined by Prateek Goyal and Basant Kumar of Newslaundry.
The conversation begins with Prateek’s report where he talks about the Hindu mob assault on a Muslim bangle seller in Indore, narrating the sequence of events that led to the attack and how the police ended up booking the poor victim for allegedly molesting a young girl.
“This has long been the intention of the rightwing,” Akanksha comments. “If you damage a community economically you can inflict greater damage on them.”
Basant discusses his report on Uttar Pradesh minister Shriram Chauhan’s comment about restricting the construction of new mandis and how it has deepened the apprehensions of farmers who have been protesting for months now against the Narendra Modi government’s new farm laws.
This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.
Tune in.
