Description

On Sunday, the BJP suspended its national spokesperson Nupur Sharma and expelled its Delhi spokesperson Naveen Kumar Jindal, after they made anti-Islam remarks about Prophet Mohammad. This decision came after three countries in the Gulf region — Qatar, Kuwait, Iran — summoned the Indian ambassadors to register their protest, and demanded a public apology from India. Since then, several other Islamic countries have also come forth criticizing these statements.In this episode, host Shashank Bhargava is first joined by Indian Express’ Krishn Kaushilk to talk about how the controversy started, and the significance of Indian ambassadors being summoned by countries in the Gulf region.Next, Indian Express' National Editor of Strategic Affairs Nirupama Subramanian explains the implications this controversy has for India, and the NRIs living in the Gulf region.And in the end, Indian Express' Liz Mathew tells us what leaders within the BJP think about the controversy, and the action taken against Sharma and Jindal.
