First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Aditi Raja about Gujarat’s decision to allot valuable public land to former cricketer and MP Yusuf Pathan, why part of the plot is being offered as a gift, and the questions this raises about government discretion and public purpose.
Next, we speak to The Indian Express’ Udit Misra about the economic pressures driving protests in France, including rising living costs, unemployment and strained public services, and the lessons the crisis may hold for India. (14:20)
