The recent attack in Uri on a military camp left 17 soldiers dead, many injured. Considering the general emotion floating on social media how prepared are we for war? Is going to war with Pakistan even an option? Can we really abrogate the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan? The answer to all these questions is no, says Kishalay Bhattacharjee, consulting editor of Newslaundry. Abhinandan Sekhri, Anand Ranganathan, Madhu Trehan & Deepanjana Pal discuss and dissect the coverage of Pakistan Prime Minster Nawaz Sharif’s speech in the United Nations (UN), Indian envoy to UN Eenam Gambhir’s reply to him and does the western media really care what India & Pakistan say or do? A new chapter added to Bharatiya Janata Party vs Aam Aadmi Party war with Somnath Bharti’s arrest, Race Course Road renamed Lok Kalyan Marg, National Human Rights Commission’s report on Kairana exodus and a lot more.
