Hafta 141: Cracker ban, Jay Amit Shah, Godhra riots and more


Journalist Harshvardhan Tripathi, Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Madhu Trehan, Anand Ranganathan and Anand Vardhan discuss The Wire story on Jay Amit Shah and the flaws in it. Was it a dead story? They talk about the feasibility of the cracker ban in Delhi-NCR. They discuss Kangana’s and Hrithik Roshan’s interviews on the controversy involving them. At last, they talk about the Godhra riots case where the death sentence to the convicts was commuted to life imprisonment.  Listen up, there is a song dedication in the end too.
