Published 20 hours ago
Description
First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Pragynesh about the removal of activist Sonam Wangchuk from his hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, the Delhi High Court order cited by the police, and how the protest has evolved ahead of Parliament’s Monsoon Session.
Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Shubham Tigga about the death of a 75-year-old tuberculosis patient in Jharkhand, whose family spent months trying to access his own ₹8,000 pension savings because of an unresolved e-KYC issue. (18:45)
And in the end, we look at the Monsoon Session of Parliament, where the Opposition plans to raise issues ranging from the NEET paper leak and Sonam Wangchuk’s protest to the Ayodhya Ram Temple donation controversy, even as shifting political equations reshape the balance inside Parliament. (29:30)
