AgustaWestland’s VVIP choppers are flying inside parliament or perhaps they’re crashing? Is Kangana Ranaut a feminist icon? How seriously should you take trolls and is Rajdeep Sardesai giving them too much importance? What is Nitish Kumar cooking, since cooking has been banned during the day in parts of Bihar? Why was the Chief Justice of Uttarakhand transferred and should the Kerala rape victim’s name and photo be revealed? We discuss all this and a lot more on this episode of NL Hafta. We also dedicate a song to Karl Marx on his birth anniversary.
