This week on #Hafta, Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kripal and Mehraj D Lone of Newslaundry are joined by Patricia Mukhim, the editor of the Shillong Times.

The conversation begins with Patricia explaining why she resigned from the #EditorsGuildofIndia. The guild had shown her no support when she was targeted for questioning the authorities over inaction in a case of ethnic discrimination and violence in Meghalaya.

She also explains the importance of the Bodoland Territorial Council in protecting the rights of the #Bodocommunity in Assam. She praises the change in leadership of the council from Hagrama Mohilary to Pramod Boro, and says it will help bring peace to the community.
