Reporters Without Orders Ep 223: Sidhu Moosewala’s death, Amanatullah Khan role in AAP

In this episode, host Ayush Tiwari is joined by Newslaundry’s Nidhi Suresh. 

Nidhi talks about her reports on Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala’s death. Apart from his contributions to music, the singer had also set up cancer camps at his native village Moosa, which has been ravaged by the disease. On his identity and music, Nidhi says, “His music seems to have a very different personality.”

The conversation then shifts to Nidhi’s profile on Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan. Given AAP’s change in outlook towards the Muslim community, the perception of Khan has changed too. “There was a time when he was in politics when they didn't see him as a politician but as someone from their community, so they do feel a distance,” Nidhi says, referring to Khan’s supporters. 

This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.

Tune in.
