New Kids On The Block Debate Chopper Scam, JNU Report
The ruling BJP has made it clear it will target the Congress top brass, specifically Sonia Gandhi, in Parliament over alleged corruption in a deal to buy 12 helicopters. The Congress has decided to hit back with equal aggression. In the capital, students of Jawaharlal Nehru University are defiant. Going against university orders, those punished for a controversial event on campus said they will neither pay the fine, nor vacate hostels. Led by JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar, students burnt copies of the order and are now on an indefinite hunger strike. Have the students got a raw deal? Also, a government committee headed by film-maker Shyam Benegal has recommended that the film board should clearly categorise films and not just 'use scissors' on them. The panel is looking into a revamp of the board after a string of controversies surround censorship of films.
