Newslaundry Podcast

After the apex court allowed a rape survivor to terminate her pregnancy post the mandated 20 weeks, we asked our panel: Shouldn’t abortion be a woman’s prerogative? Is it Barkha vs Arnab or the media vs Arnab? What led Irom Sharmila to break her 16-year-long fast? Why Prime Ministers, from Nehru to Modi, have continued with Armed Forces (Special Powers) Acts (AFSPA)? Why are AAP and BJP always at loggerheads? Kishalay Bhattacharjee, journalist, author & consulting editor with Newslaundry, joins Madhu Trehan, Anand Ranganathan, Deepanjana Pal & Abhinandan Sekhri to discuss all this & a lot more. We also have an extra on the American elections, in which our panel talks about the Republican and Democratic Conventions, and which is the greatest country on the earth.For reference links visit http://www.newslaundry.com/2016/07/29/hafta-78-is-it-barkha-vs-arnab-or-the-media-vs-arnab/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
