We have Meghnad S, a public policy analyst, who discusses the privacy judgement, triple talaq verdict and the derailment of trains in India. He joins the regular gang of Hafta members: Abhinandan Sekhri, Anand Ranganathan, Anand Vardhan and Raman Kirpal. They speak about the media coverage on the triple talaq verdict. Raman feels that the talaq verdict was politicised. Apart from this, they talk about Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Insan and Malegaon blasts accused Lt. Col. Shrikant Purohit. They speak about the twitter effectivity of various politicians including Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Listen up, there’s a song dedication in the end too.
