    We were six panelists on tonight. Instead of wasting time on discovering who respected Indian laws and the constitution and who didn't, I asked each a simple question: Do you condemn the slogan "Gustakh-e-Rasool ki ek hi saza, Sar tan se juda"? Watch their replies:

    Spine always grows in the back that is against the wall. The rest slide and slink away. For just 5 years in our 75 year modern history we junked socialism, and the results are for all to see. Who did it? PV Narasimha Rao, the man denied a funeral in the capital by his own party.

    Teesta Setalvad's past indiscretions are like the dead sea scrolls of fraud and lies - of such historical significance that they should be preserved in the museum of hate and propaganda. Here, I recount just ten. My views on with .

    Minority communalism is not a threat to Indian democracy, the RSS and the BJP are. They communalised even the army during Kargil by sending rakhis to soldiers. We conducted an ad campaign against them. It cost us 1.5 crore. Congress and the CPI(M) paid for it. - Teesta Setalvad

    Simranjit Singh Mann, who openly advocates for the breakup of India & the creation of Khalistan, has just won and obtained the right to enter the parliament of India. This is akin to a religion welcoming atheism. What more proof do you want that we are an incredible democracy.

    Law finally catches up with a charlatan. No, I am not talking of Teesta but of RB Sreekumar. Read Dr Nambi Narayanan’s spine-chilling testimony on how Sreekumar oversaw his framing & brutal torture and by doing so single-handedly set back our cryogenic research by decades.

    It took twenty years for Modi to finally clear his name, and in those twenty years, tens of thousands of people - from politicians to film stars to activists to cops to judges to journos - made their name by falsely accusing him. Today, shutters come down on an entire industry.
