The #MeToo campaign has strengthened women all around the world as they are coming up with their personal sufferings in social media and opening up about the molestation they have suffered in the past. The Hafta gang discusses the topic in depth about whether times have changed or if the situation was the same in the past too. Open magazine Executive Editor Ullekh NP, who is from Kerala, joins us in the discussion where he gives his inputs on the ‘Left Vs Right’ Battle in Kerala. Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Anand Vardhan, Madhu Trehan and Ullekh NP also discuss recapitalisation of banks, the Hate Tracker series pulled down by the Hindustan Times, the controversy between Barkha Dutt and NDTV and more. Listen up, there are two song dedications in the end too.
