Judges Bill: Greater accountability or greater political control?

On The Buck Stops Here, as Parliament passes the landmark but highly controversial Judicial Appointments Bill, we debate - does the Bill bring greater transparency to the appointment of judges or is it throttling the judiciary? And does the unity on the bill in Parliament despite objections by some jurists indicate a rupture in the Executive-Judiciary relationship?

Saluting the hero: Ashok Chakra for Major Mukund Varadarajan

The Buck Stops Here pays tribute to Major Mukund Varadarajan, who has posthumously been honoured with Ashok Chakra for killing three terrorists in Shopian in April this year. Major Varadarajan's parents are on the show and share their feelings on their son being awarded India's highest peace-time gallantry award.
