This week, host Basant Kumar is joined by Newslaundry's Sumedha Mittal and Pratyush Deep.Sumedha talks about her report on Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Her investigation revealed that even after this massive exercise, the ECI has conferred wrong house numbers to lakhs of voters. This, she says, creates the perfect opportunity to fill the lacunae with fake voters. After the ECI's SIR, over 1,000 voters in Bihar were grouped under a single non-existent house. Her investigation highlights that whatever mistakes were there in the electoral roll are still on the list even after the SIR.Pratyush's report highlighted Assam's 3,000-bigha land row and the controversy around it. While the story played out on social media, with claims that the land was being handed over to the Adani Group, Pratyush's report reveals that it is, in fact, Mahabal Cement that had ownership of the land.In another report from Assam, Pratyush follows the complainants behind recent FIRs against journalists, who ostensibly had links to the BJP or the RSS student wing ABVP.Tune in.Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:05:06 - Loopholes in SIR00:23:30 - Illegal land allotment00:33:54 - FIRs against Journalists00:44:25 - RecommendationsRecommendationsSumedhaEP-339 | Political Pressure, TRP War, Media Credibility & Influencers vs Journalists | Kalli PuriePratyushThe Rebel Army Behind One of the World's Major Rare Earth SuppliesBasantSaare Jahan Se AcchaProduced and edited by Saif Ali Ekram, recorded by Anil Kumar.

Analysts say AIADMK leader losing political dignity by inviting anti-BJP parties. EPS says DMK humiliating its allies, AIADMK will welcome them with red carpet.  

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Anand Vardhan, Raman Kirpal, and Jayashree Arunachalam are joined by MK Venu, Founding Editor of The Wire, and award-winning investigative journalist and author Josy Joseph.The panel begins with a discussion on the recently signed “historic” India-UK free trade agreement. Venu argues that the BJP's intention behind this FTA is to have a “fresh start” in global trade negotiations: “In the last 11 years of the Modi government, the narrative they built, led by Piyush Goyal, is that all the FTAs signed by the UPA government were bad for India, that they were being used as a conduit for Chinese goods.”The conversation then shifts to Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation as vice president. Abhinandan asks who will oversee the Rajya Sabha “with the parliament session already happening, and all sorts of noise and protests”.Explaining the legal framework, Anand says, “Article 67 says that till the next vice president is appointed, he will have to continue. But he has made it clear that he will not be attending the House.” Venu draws a pattern of abrupt and unexplained resignations among the Indian political and bureaucratic elite: “There is a striking parallel in the manner in which Dhankhar, CBI chief (former Director) Alok Verma, and (former Election Commissioner) Arun Goel abruptly left. What is it that drives leadership in the Modi-Shah regime? There's intrigue, there's cloak and dagger, there's paranoia. Paranoia accompanied by complete power. It's a paradox.”Commenting on media speculation around Dhankhar's resignation, Anand says, “Journalists and public and social media commentators cannot say the simple thing that ‘we don't know'.” Jayashree adds, “It doesn't matter if there is any value to these theories. What matters is that you have a story, a source, the source has said something outlandish, and that is your headline.”The panel then shifts to the Bombay High Court's recent verdict on the 2006 Mumbai blasts. Raman explains: “It's a 576-page judgement talking about how the police have manufactured evidence in very great detail…This particular judgement has put a huge question mark on this state-specific law MCOCA.”Drawing from his decades of experience reporting on intelligence and security, Josy says: “One of the things that has always struck me was the impunity with which our police and investigative agencies are able to do pure malicious things and get away because there is no prosecution for malpractices.”Josy also sheds light on the complexities of police functioning and the political pressures that often influence investigations. “I think in India today, the most difficult job is not being a journalist or not being an NGO worker. I think the most difficult job is to be an honest government official.”Timecodes00:00:00 – Introductions and announcements00:05:50 – Headlines 00:14:20-FTA Deal between UK & India / VP's resignation00:47:55- MK Venu's recommendations00:54:02 - Bombay Blast acquittal by the HC01:21:30 - Josy's Recommendation01:27:33- Letters01:43:40- RecommendationsCheck out previous Hafta recommendations, references, songs and letters.Produced and recorded by Amit Pandey, Ashish Anand and Anil Kumar.

The abrupt exit of Jagdeep Dhankhar as Vice President, two years before the end of his tenure, caught both Treasury and Opposition benches by surprise. In Episode 1700 of #CutTheClutter ThePrint Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta lays out the timeline of events that preceded Dhankhar's shock resignation, and looks at whether they hold any clues that might explain why the BJP is not giving him a hero's farewell.

Abhishek Tiwari joins Sanjay Dixit to decode Modi's triple-front assault: geopolitical dominance, Bihar battlefield, and internal BJP resets. Rahul stumbles, opposition cracks, while Modi's East push and Shah–Yogi pact redraw the game.

For three decades de-hyphenation from Pakistan has been the centre-point of our grand strategy. BJP has now created an unexpected predicament for itself, and for India—when its domestic political interests are clashing with India's geopolitical priorities. BJP's politics should drop this re-hyphenation. Diminish, deter, de-hyphenate. That's the 3D solution to our Pakistan problem.

Abhinav presents an in-depth report on the true death toll of the Mahakumbh Mela tragedy that happened in January. While the Uttar Pradesh government has officially acknowledged 37 deaths due to the stampede, BBC's investigation has uncovered at least 82 fatalities so far. Despite government promises, many of the victims' families have yet to receive the promised compensation.Akansha uncovers allegations of police impunity in Kaushambi in Uttar Pradesh. Her deep dive into police encounters in Uttar Pradesh reveal chilling accounts from families who lost loved ones in suspected extrajudicial killings.Several families allege that police not only carried out unlawful encounters but also attempted to silence them with bribes.

Affected families are running from pillar to post in their fight for justice and accountability.Meanwhile, Sumedha brings a sharply different story from Delhi.

However, his stance appears to have softened following the BJP's rise to power in February 2025.Sumedha's report explores this shift in tone – tracing how the LG's confrontational approach has evolved and what it reveals about the changing political dynamics in the capital.Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:04 - Beyond 82: The Controversy Over Kumbh Stampede Casualties00:31:20 - Encounter Raj in UP: A Deep Dive into Its Persistent Reality00:52:24 - Dynamics Between Delhi's LG and the Ruling Party: An observer's view00:59: 58 - RecommendationsRecommendationsAbhinavThe Unwomanly Face of WarThe Sharp Knife of MemorySumedha Rahul Gandhi writes: Match-fixing MaharashtraToday in Politics: Congress to make people aware of Rahul's ‘fixing polls claims' with processions across MaharashtraAkansha Among the Trolls: My Journey Through ConspiracylandAvdheshDr. Ambedkar: Life And MissionProduced and edited by Hassan Bilal and Tista Roy Chowdhury, recorded by Anil Kumar.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 4th of June and here are the headlines.1. Multi-party Delegation Briefs EAM on Anti-Terror Diplomacy TourA multi-party delegation led by BJP leader Baijayant Panda met External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar after returning from visits to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Algeria to rally support against Pakistan-backed terrorism. The team included MPs and leaders across party lines, including Asaduddin Owaisi and Ghulam Nabi Azad. The delegation briefed Jaishankar on their findings, highlighting India's global rise under PM Modi. They said India's economic and diplomatic strength is helping forge international partnerships on trade and counterterrorism. Jaishankar lauded their outreach efforts.2. Monsoon Session of Parliament Set to Begin July 21Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju announced that the Monsoon session of Parliament will begin on July 21 and run until August 12. The session was recommended by the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs, chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will convene at 11 a.m. after a three-month recess. The session's announcement comes amid calls by opposition parties for an urgent special session to discuss Operation Sindoor—India's major military strike on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir earlier this year.3. Punjab YouTuber Held for Links to Pakistan Spy NetworkPunjab Police arrested Jasbir Singh, a YouTuber from Rupnagar, for alleged involvement in a Pakistani spy network. Singh, who runs the channel ‘Jaan Mahal', was nabbed by the State Special Operations Cell in Mohali. Authorities say he is linked to Shakir alias Jutt Randhawa, a Pakistani intelligence operative, and maintained close ties with Haryana YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra—previously arrested on similar charges—and a Pakistani High Commission official. The espionage network is believed to be terror-backed. Investigations are ongoing into the extent of Singh's involvement and communication with Pakistan-based handlers.4. RCB Victory Parade Cancelled, Celebration at Stadium InsteadRoyal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) cancelled its IPL victory parade on Wednesday, originally planned from Vidhan Soudha to M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Bengaluru Traffic Police confirmed the cancellation, stating the team would instead meet Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at the Vidhan Soudha. A celebration is now scheduled at the stadium. RCB had earlier announced the parade on social media, thanking fans for their unwavering support over 18 seasons. The franchise won its first IPL title this year, prompting city-wide excitement. Fans can now attend the celebration directly at the stadium later today.5. Trump Doubles Tariffs on Global Steel, Aluminium ImportsU.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday doubling tariffs on nearly all steel and aluminium imports to 50 percent, citing national security concerns. The hike—effective Wednesday—follows his 2018 move imposing 25 percent tariffs under the Trade Expansion Act's Section 232. The UK, which recently signed a trade deal with the U.S., is exempt and will maintain the current 25 percent rate. Trump's decision marks a significant escalation in his administration's trade policy, as Washington continues to pressure nations for fairer deals and increased domestic metal production.That's all for today. This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I am Ichha SharmaToday is 28th of May and here are today's headlines.The Congress has renewed its call for President's Rule in Manipur after fresh violence in Jiribam and the resignation of BJP MLA Ashab Uddin. Party spokesperson Supriya Shrinate alleged that the N. Biren Singh-led government had failed to maintain law and order, calling the administration “invisible.” The opposition said the constitutional machinery had collapsed, with thousands still displaced since the 2023 ethnic clashes. The BJP, meanwhile, has defended its state government's handling of the situation.And from Manipur, we turn to Assam, where a legal battle is unfolding over alleged police encounters. The Supreme Court has stayed proceedings initiated by the Assam Human Rights Commission into 183 alleged fake police encounters that occurred between May 2021 and June 2022. A petition filed by a senior advocate claimed the panel had no jurisdiction, as many of the cases were already pending before courts. The Commission had asked Assam's top police and home officials to respond to its notice. The apex court has now called for affidavits from all parties within three weeks.Next, in Tamil Nadu, a remark by actor Kamal Haasan has sparked a linguistic and political row. Speaking at a Tamil Sangam event, Kamal Haasan claimed Tamil predates Kannada, citing a 2,500-year-old Tamil inscription. Karnataka BJP leaders sharply objected, accusing him of stoking regional discord. CT Ravi and Basanagouda Patil Yatnal called the comment disrespectful. Haasan later clarified that he was referencing historical records, not undermining any language.Two men in Kerala's Palakkad district have been arrested for assaulting a 24-year-old tribal man, alleging he had stolen a hen. A video of the attack, which took place on May 18 in Malampuzha, surfaced online, prompting public outcry. The accused were identified and booked under various sections, including those of the SC/ST Atrocities Act. Police confirmed the victim belongs to the Irula tribal community.Two Indian-origin men in the US have been sentenced to 33 and 63 months in prison for their role in a human smuggling operation. The case involved a family of four from Gujarat who died from exposure near the US-Canada border in 2022. The smugglers charged up to $100,000 for illegal crossings and had arranged the family's final, fatal attempt near Manitoba.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express

Eleven years have passed since Narendra Modi first took oath as Prime Minister. In episode 1669 of #CutTheClutter Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta analyses the 11 key takeaways from this period. He is joined by Political Editor D.K. Singh to gauge the impact of BJP's reforms, hardening stance on terror, and outreach to minority communities.

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Jayashree Arunachalam, Raman Kirpal and Shardool Katyayan are joined by senior journalist and CGNet Swara's co-founder Shubhranshu Choudhary.We start with a discussion on the killing of 27 suspected Maoists in Chhattisgarh this week and analyse if the Maoist movement in the state has declined. Shubhranshu says, “We don't agree with the strategy, but it is hugely successful… This war has been won by the Bastariyas (residents of Bastar) themselves who gave information.”However, he warns that unresolved issues like mining and lack of development could reignite tensions, asking, “What will be our development policy? That will determine whether Maoism will be dead.”Jayashree raises concerns about the accuracy of government claims, questioning, “Should we be more suspicious when the government says it's killed dozens of Maoists?” She highlights the lack of judicial scrutiny in encounters, citing, “I think of thousands of encounters that have happened in Bastar in the last 25 years. There've only been two judicial inquiries.”Abhinandan adds, “There's an overlap of mining interests in media interests – even in ownership,” and Manisha stresses on political representation for a better future for Bastar's residents. “If militants in the Northeast can join the BJP, why not here? Political representation matters. It gives people real options.”This and a lot more. Tune in!We have a page for subscribers to send letters to our shows. If you want to write to Hafta, click here.

Send us a textWhy I Killed Gandhi  by Nathuram Godse Two employees of the Israeli Embassy in D. C. were shot to death this week (May, 2025) . The Manifesto of the shooter shows him to be very distressed by the mass death in  Gaza.  He felt what is called "the moral imperative to act."  So did the person who killed Gandhi. This is a discussion of that person's manifesto.  Gandhi was assassinated in 1948.  In the two movies I have seen, the assassin is portrayed as a deranged bearded scary-looking fanatic.  Some of those words might well be justified, but we are never told that the assassin was an exceptionally well educated, well-read reformer, someone who hated the caste system and looked forward to a modern India.  His name was Nathuram Godse.  He was tried for Gandhi's murder and hanged.  He knew from the beginning that he would be executed for his action, but he did it anyway.  He saw himself as a patriot for his people.  During the year or so that he was waiting for his trial, he wrote a lengthy statement discussing his life and his philosophy and his reasons for what he did.  During his trial, he was allowed to read a shortened version of that longer text.  This is the text I am going to read for you during this podcast. I hope you will forgive my bad pronunciation of some of these Indian names.  They are strange to me, and all I can do is pronounce them in a phonetic way, phonetic as I understand them.  Below are a few of the names and terms but there were others – for example intellectuals and political leaders – that I did not include.  I suspect if we read their writings we would understand much more than we understand now, but that will have to wait for another time. My students considered this a shocking document.  It was not shocking because this person killed Gandhi – we knew that --  but because it was logical.  Some of you know from another podcast, my Rules of Good Studenting.  In a class where we deal with political movements and ideologies that may offend, two of the most shocking Rules are these:  “Until you can understand an argument well enough to explain it to the satisfaction of someone who holds that view, and defend it from its critics, you do not understand it well enough to know if you agree or disagree. “  Well, that excludes maybe 90 % of the people who get into arguments.  But my students found it liberating, that they were allowed to understand arguments that offended and terrified them. A second Rule is this one:  “If you were there, you would be there.”  Or as I put it to my students, every single thing we will encounter in this class, no matter how shocking or offensive, you would quite possibly do it you were in the condition of the person who did it and had experienced all the things that person had experienced.   Again, that is distressing.  You would kill and even participate in a massacre?  I would?  Yes, you would.  And if you think you would not you are not thinking deeply enough.  My students considered this one of the most disturbing things we read during the whole semester, that the person who assassinated the saintly Gandhi  was a thoughtful intellectual who made sense (even if we disagree with him). Some termsHindutva --  Hindu nationalist ideology.  Linked to the BJP party of Prime Minister Modi. Mahatma (term of respect for Gandhi)Moghul Empire (Muslim conquerors of India)Satyagraha:  Gandhi's philosophy of active, non-violent resistanceHindi and Hindustani   A “real” language and a bastard language created to mollify MuslimsMohammed Ali Jinnah.  The first president of Pakistan.  Warning:  Don't expect to like this podcast.&nbs
