The RSS-BJP rift, rise in Indian asylum seekers, and a 'bid to muzzle press'
About this episode
First, Indian Express’ Deeptiman Tiwary discusses the RSS's (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) support for the caste census and the significance of it acknowledging ongoing issues between the organization and the BJP.
Next, Indian Express’ Jay Mazoomdar explains the increase in undocumented Indians illegally entering the US and why Canada has become the preferred route for many of them (12:02).
And in the end, Indian Express’ Sohini Ghosh tells us about the Delhi High Court ruling that the Centre’s decision to terminate its lease deed with Express Newspapers nearly 40 years ago was “arbitrary” “mala fide”, and “nothing but an attempt by the then Government to muzzle the press and dry up its source of income” (21:44).
