Back to Episodes#440 ft. Rishi Budhrani - Parliament Rejects Suspension of Iswaran as MP & Hasan Minhaj Backlash for Embellishment
Description
Rishi is back as guest co-host, this time with Haresh while Terence is away. We dive into the latest Parliamentary sitting where MPs voted against the motion filed by NMP Hazel Poa to suspend MP Iswaran. This was after a 2+ hour debate in Parliament, but does the outcome make sense? Elsewhere, star comedian Hasan Minhaj is facing the heat after he admitted to embellishing the stories of discrimination, racism and threats he faced in his Netflix stand-up specials, as part of an expose by the New Yorker. But is he wrong to do that?
