Students of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and All India Students Association (AISA) clashed during protests after the cancellation of Umar Khalid’s talk at Ramjas College. A Delhi University professor was roughed up, students were assaulted and a few journalists were attacked too. We have Abhinandan Sekhri, Madhu Trehan, Anand Ranganathan and Manisha Pande to discuss this, Amit Shah’s Kasab jibe and PM Narendra Modi’s kabristan versus shamshan remark — was it communal or not? Anand Ranganathan does some number crunching based on Modi’s speech. We also discuss Subramanian Swamy’s money laundering allegations on Karti Chidambaram and Shobhaa De’s attempt to troll the Mumbai police and a lot more. Listen up!
