This week, Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande and Raman Kirpal were joined by Anisha Sheth, associate editor of The News Minute, and Anuradha Bhasin, executive editor of Kashmir Times.

On the slew of terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir last month, Anuradha asks why are locals so dissatisfied that they aid terrorists. “There's scepticism over the future of the J&K legislative assembly…we can see a symbolic government with limited power over municipal issues and centre-controlled projects.” Abhinandan compares it to the Delhi government vs lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena equation.

On Karnataka refusing to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu, Anisha notes that the water-sharing dispute has cropped up despite normal rainfall. “No Chief Minister has ever taken an openly cooperative stand even though they quietly make under-the-table arrangements to share water among the states.” Manisha says it could be a strategy to deflect attention from the criticism of the Karnataka Reservation Bill for jobs quota.

The panel also discusses the allegations made in the Muda land scam and Muzaffarnagar police’s order to eateries on the Kanwar yatra route, asking them to display the names of their owners and staff.
