This week on NL #Hafta, Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, Manisha Pande, Jayashree Arunachalam, and Anand Vardhan are joined by Kriti Shah, associate fellow, strategic studies, Observer Research Foundation.
Talking about the Taliban’s takeover of #Afghanistan, Kriti argues that there was never an appropriate time for America to exit the country after 20 years of war. Manisha asks, “How is it that America did not anticipate how quickly the Taliban would take over Afghanistan? They have been there for so long.”
The panel discusses the return of #MJAkbar to the newsroom, courtesy #ZeeMedia, and #ShashiTharoor’s acquitted on charges of orchestrating his wife Sunanda Pushkar’s death.
