Ajai Shukla, Consulting Editor (Strategic Affairs), Business Standard, joins us for this week’s Hafta, as we discuss the Pathankot attacks. Were the counter-operations successful? Or should we have done much better? And, did the media go overboard yet again? Also, what will it take for the media to report on the Northeast? Was the violence in Malda under-reported? Then we discuss whether Arvind Kejriwal has any business meddling in the functioning of private schools. Finally: the odd-even and how Delhi has reacted and coped. And, of course, there’s the song of the week.
