Reporters Without Orders Ep 213: Umar Khalid’s bail, ‘harassment’ of TN’s non-Brahmin priests

This week, host Nidhi Suresh is joined by Newslaundry’s Laasya Shekhar and Tanishka Sodhi.

Tanishka talks about her detailed report on why Umar Khalid’s bail plea was dismissed after eight months of hearings. “The attention to this case has reduced, even though it’s considered a special case under UAPA,” she says of the media’s dwindling interest.

The panel then discusses Laasya’s report on non-Brahmin priests appointed to Tamil Nadu’s temples, and how they are being sidelined and harassed because of their caste.

This, and a lot more, as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.

Tune in.
