This week on NL #Hafta, it’s an all-Newslaundry panel of Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Mehraj D Lone, Jayashree Arunachalam, and Raman Kirpal.
In the light of #MithunChakraborty joining BJP in Kolkata, Abhinandan lauds his “amazing success story”. “His entire rise has been phenomenal. Govinda was called the poor man’s Mithun,” he added. Manisha also points out how the BJP used left rally’s pictures as their own and circulated them to show the number of people that had turned up for Modi’s rally.
Commenting on the injuries sustained by #MamtaBanerjee in Nandigram, Raman said that “doctors have confirmed that she did get injuries on her leg. Whether it happened in a stampede or by #BJP workers, that we don’t know”. Abhinandan lauds her courage to take up Suvendru Adhikari’s challenge to fight from #Nandigram by saying that, ‘She is willing to bet big. She did not hedge.” The panel also discussed the impacts of #ShivSena and Congress-left alliance in the upcoming polls.
The conversation also spans CJI SA Bobde’s clarifications and the curious case of the explosives-laden Scorpio outside #Antilla.
