Tonight on The Buck Stops Here:
VK Singh's 'Dog-Dalit' Analogy: Is he a Political Liability for BJP?
On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: Does anything under the sun justify General VK Singh's latest bombshell? When asked a question on the murder of two Dalit children in Faridabad who were burnt alive, the minister said if someone throws stones at a dog, the government is not responsible. The minister did explain the context of his remarks, but at a time when the PM has cautioned his ministers to be careful with the remarks that they make, we ask: Is the former Army Chief now a political liability for the BJP?
Kiren Rijiju on North Indians: Promoting Stereotypes Or Stating Fact?

On The Buck Stops Here, we debate whether the minister was stating the obvious or promoting cultural stereotypes.
