NL Hafta

The latest episode of Reporters Without Orders features our jugaad host Amit Bhardwaj along with Rohin Verma, two-time Ramnath Goenka awardee Rahul Kotiyal, and Aroon Deep from medianama.com.The panel discusses the Data Protection draft bill where Aroon explains how the draft bill will enable the users to give and withdraw consent for informational data on them. “The only reason this bill exists right now because the Supreme Court essentially nudged the government to setup data protection framework in the first place,” says Aroon. He added that India lacked the legal framework for informational privacy. “What is going to change with this bill is that the information collection won’t happen in darkness. Every data controller will be accountable for what it collects, whether it has got consent from you for the data it has collected,” he further adds. The panel weighs in to add that due to lack of internet literacy in the country, these legislations will make the least difference on the ground.The panel discusses Rohin’s exclusive report for Newslaundry Hindi which lists out 15 children shelter homes in Bihar where cases of alleged sexual and physical harassment were found by the audit report done by the TISS. “Accused Brajesh Thakur (in the Muzaffarpur children shelter home rape cases) was arrested by the police very late. Despite the arrest, he got admitted in the hospital for 15 days,” says Rohin. He points out the laxity displayed by the district administrations and the police in the cases pointed out by the TISS report. The administration of only three districts has acted on the findings of the TISS report that too after months. “Those running these shelter homes are not ordinary people. For instance, Nari Gunjan, in Patna, is run by Sudha Varghese. She is a Padma Shree awardee. Serious mismanagement was found in the centre run by her, and yet there is no action against it,” he added citing the reasons for a possible delay in the police action in these cases. Amit and Rahul discuss how the local media and civil society in Bihar has failed to outrage in the wake of the Muzaffarpur rapes reported at the children shelter home. Rahul points out the society in general often fail to outrage in the sexual abuse cases where the victims belong to weaker economic and social classes – as it happened with the Muzaffarpur shelter home rape victims.The panel also discusses how the stories related to the police raid and alleged assault of residents of Ahmedabad’s Chharanagar locality, where Chharas - a Denotified Tribes (DNT) lives, went under-reported. Amit also adds that TV media largely under-reported or ignored the stories concerning Delhi Lokayukta giving a clean chit to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the case based on allegations levelled by rebel AAP lawmaker Kapil Mishra.

In this episode of Just Sports, Rahul Puri and Samar Khan discuss German player Mesut Ozil’s racism claims, the upcoming test series in England, India’s middle and top order, and the EPL transfer window. Rahul and Samar disagree slightly on whether there was weight behind Ozil’s claims of racism and disrespect. While both feel that the politics of Europe had a role to play here, Samar feels that Ozil was being somewhat of a “crybaby”, while Rahul thinks there were problems in the German squad as a whole, with Ozil being used as a “scapegoat”. They then give a recap of the transfer window, which is experiencing a bit of a lull currently, going into detail about the Eden Hazard deal. Next is a preview of the ongoing test series, Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s injuries and what it means for India’s bowling, Virat Kohli as an X factor, and the batting order. For more, listen in!

पाटीदार नेता हार्दिक पटेल एक बार फिर 25 अगस्त से पाटीदारों व किसानों के हितों के लिए आंदोलन करने की तैयारी में हैं. न्यूज़लॉन्ड्री से बातचीत में उन्होंने मोदी सरकार, आगामी लोकसभा चुनाव और राष्ट्रीय व राजकीय राजनीति से संबंधित कई सवालों पर अपनी राय दी. बीते दिनों हार्दिक पटेल को गुजरात हाई कोर्ट ने दो साल की सजा सुनाई है. फिलहाल हार्दिक जमानत पर हैं और कानूनी लड़ाई लड़ने की तैयारी कर रहे हैं. 2019 लोकसभा चुनावों के संबंध में हार्दिक ने कहा कि वे राहुल गांधी या ममता बैनर्जी को प्रधानमंत्री बनते देखना चाहते हैं. अगर ऐसे संयोग न बन सके तो उन्हें मायावती की प्रधानमंत्री पद की भी उम्मीदवारी का समर्थन करने में भी कोई दिक्कत नहीं है. क्या वे 2019 का चुनाव लड़ेंगे? इस सवाल के जवाब में हार्दिक स्पष्ट करते हैं कि वे लोकसभा चुनाव नहीं लड़ने वाले. उनका कहना है, "जब हमारे सामने मुख्यमंत्री और प्रधानमंत्री नहीं टिक सके. ऐसे में जरूरी नहीं है कि संसद में बैठकर यश लिया जाए." याद दिलाते चलें कि गुजरात की तिकड़ी (अल्पेश ठाकुर, हार्दिक पटेल और जिग्नेश मेवानी) में से जिग्नेश भी गुजरात चुनाव से पहले तक यही बोलते रहे थे कि वे चुनाव नहीं लड़ेगें. लेकिन चुनाव के निकट आते ही उन्होंने वडगाम विधानसभा क्षेत्र से स्वतंत्र उम्मीदवार के रूप में अपना नामांकन दर्ज कर दिया. बाद में वे कांग्रेस के समर्थन से चुनाव जीत भी गए.अनामत आंदोलन को आजादी की लड़ाई के समकक्ष बताते हुए हार्दिक ने सरकार से फिर से पाटीदार आरक्षण की मांग दोहराई है. सुनिए न्यूज़लॉन्ड्री के साथ उनकी पूरी बातचीत.
