Hafta 80: Modi vs the Gau Rakshaks

Is it now Modiji vs the gau rakshaks? Prime Minister Narendra Modi broke his silence and came down heavily against the increasing violent attacks by gau rakshaks . But did he answer the question raised in the last episode of NL Hafta — should the fringe be taken seriously? Why are the TV news channels not paying any heed to #ChaloUna, the Dalit march that's taking place right now in solidarity with those who were attacked by gau rakshaks a few weeks ago? Consulting editor, Anand Ranganathan goes to the roots of cow protection vigilantism. Abhinandan Sekhri along with Madhu Trehan, Deepanjana Pal & Manisha Pande discuss The Indian Express report on Ranbaxy judgment by Singapore tribunal, as well as prohibition law in Bihar. And the most important question this week: why did Irom Sharmila’s own people refused to accept after she broke her 16-year long fast? Plus, don't miss the song dedicated to Modiji from gau rakshaks.For reference links, Please visit: http://www.newslaundry.com/2016/08/12/hafta-80-modi-vs-the-gau-rakshaks/
