Trudeau Accuses India
In this monologue, Kushal talks about the recent turn of events in Canada, where their Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in an address to the House of Commons, accused India of a potential link between the Indian government and the killing of Khalistani criminal Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. Following Trudeau's statement, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly announced that Canada had expelled a top Indian diplomat. The Indian government responded to the Canadian accusation by stating, "Such unsubstantiated allegations seek to shift the focus from Khalistani terrorists and extremists, who have been provided shelter in Canada and continue to threaten India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The inaction of the Canadian government on this matter has been a long-standing and continuing concern. That Canadian political figures have openly expressed sympathy for such elements remains a matter of deep concern. " As of now, India has expelled the station head of the Canadian Intelligence service, Olivier Sylvester. He has been asked to leave within 5 days.

Why Don't You Speak About This?
In this monologue, Kushal talks about a consistent fallacy that gets used on social media, where everyone accuses the other side by telling them, "Why Don't You Speak About This?" This monologue explains why this argument has no weight in most circumstances and why using it as an argument is a fallacy most of the time.
