Tonight on The Buck Stops Here:

Is apology enough for rape threat?

Trinamool Congress has accepted the apology of its MP Tapas Pal, who had threatened to send in his goons to rape women in the families of his political opponents. The party said that Tapas Pal appeared contrite and was deeply apologetic and as far as they are concerned, the matter stood closed. On The Buck Stops Here, we ask is that good enough, and will political parties ever expel politicians who make violent and sexist remarks?

India on 'Caliph' hitlist?

As the Middle East jihadi group ISIS names India as one of the countries that should be targeted, on The Buck Stops Here we look at the situation in Iraq today and debate the larger picture of how and whether ISIS can indeed spread its roots to endanger us directly.
