In this episode of NL Hafta, the panel sits down to discuss all that dominated the news this week -- the Bharat Bandh protests, fake news guidelines issued by the I&B Ministry, Salman Khan’s conviction and more.This week's guest, Joyjeet Das, journalist with Catch News, spoke on the Videocon-ICICI Bank loan row. "If any of this is true, there will be a huge blow to trust, including investors' trust, which would not work out well in the Indian equities market," he said. Manisha adds that this story broke in 2016 when Intralive journalist Rashmi Singh reported on it. Speaking on whether this indeed qualifies as a scam, Raman says, "On the face of it, ICICI has not denied any allegations. They are simply saying that it doesn't amount to a conflict of interest."While discussing the issue of nationwide Dalit protests, Raman and Joydeep debate if the protests were hijacked by politicians or were a result of "impromptu anger."Abhinandan points out how, "Even though Bapu and Ambedkar were brilliant leaders...technology has allowed today's leaders a better understanding of what India is."Shivraj Singh Chouhan's move to make five religious leaders Ministers of State has our panel wondering what could have prompted the bizarre decision. "It must be a move to patronise these leaders' large following," Raman states.Abhinandan recalls his experience in West Bengal while discussing the recent events of communal violence there. "There was never a threat of violence, even if you abused each other," he says. Joyjeet, however, states, "this idea of violence is not new in Bengal...political violence has been around for long.""Munni ka toh pata nahi, par bhai toh badnaam ho gaya," Abhinandan jokes on the issue of Salman Khan's judgment. The panelists discuss the court's decision to acquit the others and jail Salman.Discussions of the hike in fuel prices have the team recall PMO's initial speeches where he promised to lower down fuel prices.The team also listens in to emails from our subscribers. Listen up, there is a song dedication in the end to our very dear Prime Minister.

Samar Khan and Rahul Puri are back with their weekly round-up of sports. The duo discusses Champions League, the amazing goal by Ronaldo that has rocked the world of football and the IPL madness. Samar Khan starts the discussion on Ronaldo by saying: “He might not be as masterful and crafty as Messi or as pleasing to the eye but he gets the goal and gets it in emphatic fashion.”

Rahul Puri expresses his views on Ronaldo. He says, “I may not be Ronaldo’s biggest fan because of the team he has chosen to play for and there is biased attached but you can’t take away the fact that this man isn’t just a phenomenon. He’s not Messi and he doesn’t have that complete influence on a game from a sheer footballing point of view but look at the number of goals he scores.”

Khan brings in the statistics. “Ronaldo has scored  119 goals in the Champions League, that’s actually more goals than Liverpool has scored in their entire history of Champions League.” Puri adds, “The most fascinating is that it boiled down into this rivalry where they both ended up in one country playing for these two great rivals and that further enhances this…but then again, what a goal!!”

 

In the world of cricket, they talk about IPL. Khan puts forth his first point: "More than Steve Smith, David Warner would be a big miss for the Sunrisers Hyderabad because he has been an inspirational captain." Puri says: "They (Sunrisers Hyderabad) will now need more runs from the middle order engine."

Talking about other teams Puri says: "I don't think either Delhi or Punjab have great strengths in bowling so they have to focus on their batting. Bangalore and Mumbai are very well run franchises that have got core players. Chennai Superkings have got good reputation and pedigree in IPL."

In this episode of Reporters Without Borders, the team engages in a conversation about the I&B ministry's order to regulate fake news as well as media reportage on the nationwide Dalit protest.

While discussing Uttar Pradesh government's decision to officially include 'Ramji' in documents mentioning BR Ambedkar, Rohin points out the importance of adding historical context to debates. "Ambedkar's critique on Ram and casteism would actually scare the Hindutva forces," he tells the panel.

Amit talks about media’s demographic bias, and how newsrooms highlight issues from certain states only. "Jharkand's government has drafted an amendment saving officers accused in the forgery of land sale and conversions...had there been a similar draft in Uttar Pradesh, it would have been covered by national media," he states.

Discussions on Dalit agitation has Abhinandan questioning media's sympathetic coverage of the protesters, despite compelling evidence of violence. "Dalit protests are usually not covered by TV channels or newspapers. It was the narrative of this protest that led to such mass coverage," says Amit.

Rohin points out how the protests have deepened class differences and talks about Savarna reporters looking at the protest with a biased lens.

Cherry shares why I&B ministry’s amendment to journalists’ accreditation guidelines was problematic. The amendment threatens to take away a journalist's accreditation even before the journalist’s guilt is established, she says. She also speaks about the responsibility of verification being given to self-regulatory bodies. “The PCA and NBA have proved to be ineffective in the past...are we really expecting them to look into these cases in fifteen days and tell whether they are fake news or not ?" she asks. She also points out that the guidelines do little to curb the menace created by social media websites, which have widely contributed to the spread of fake news.

Abhinandan tells us why Mayawati becoming a chief minister at her time was a bigger deal than Barack Obama, an African-American, becoming the President of the United States.
