Tonight on The Buck Stops Here:
Now, Congress Echoes BJP On 'Bharat Mata' Slogan: Patriot Games
Waris Pathan, a legislator of Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM party, has been suspended from Maharashtra Assembly. This after all parties unanimously demanded action against him after he stood up on the floor of the House and said he would not say 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'. On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: is this really patriotism or is it politics masquerading as patriotism? And what about the Congress which backed JNU, but shouted down MIM? Is it not doublespeak?
Shaktiman Suffers: Maneka Gandhi Aide Lambasts BJP MLA
On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: as Uttarakhand police horse Shaktiman suffers silently, is he now being used as a political tool? Who is to blame for this brutality? Maneka Gandhi has lashed out at the lathi-wielding BJP legislator demanding his immediate expulsion. Will the party act against him? Animal rights activist and Maneka's aide Gauri Maulekhi says they have been assured that the legislator will be arrested soon. The legislator himself is calling the entire matter fabricated. We ask: is the legislator responsible for the cruelty? And should horses be used in crowd control?
