In this context, they talk about #NarendraModi’s address to the nation and why his prescriptions for containing the spread of the virus add up to little. The panel also discusses former Chief Justice of India #RanjanGogoi’s nomination to the #RajyaSabha, the political instability in Madhya Pradesh; the Press Council’s notice to the Telegraph for a headline that allegedly mocked India’s president; nepotism and mediocrity in the media industry, and much more.
