Synopsis

Union minister Anantkumar Hegde apologised in Parliament amid protests over his comment that his party, the BJP, will "soon change the Constitution". Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Anand Vardhan, Atul Chaurasia and Raman Kirpal dissect his comment and also address the ongoing tension between Islamabad and New Delhi over the meeting of Kulbhushan Jadhav with his family. Abhinandan tries to find some similarities between the Pakistani and Indian media, while Raman sheds some light on the 2G scam and shares his experience when he went to cover the fodder scam case of Lalu Prasad Yadav. They also talk about the Adarsh scam and Maharashtra's former CM Ashok Chavan. Lastly, they talk about south Indian politics and how Jayalalitha’s video triggered a controversy just before the RK Nagar bypoll. Listen up, there are two song dedications in the end too - one for our dear subscriber “Womaniya” and the other is a tribute to Mirza Ghalib. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
