Internal Furore

A controversial article in the Congress party’s mouthpiece magazine – Congress Darshan has caused internal furore. Questioning Jawaharlal Nehru’s policy in Kashmir and claiming that Sonia Gandhi’s father was a ‘fascist’, the in-house magazine’s editor Sanjay Nirupam apologized for the “irreparable mistake”. Meanwhile the content editor Sudhir Joshi, a freelance journalist has been sacked. » Mark Zuckerberg continues to urge India to approve the controversial Free Basics. Finding it rather surprising that there’s been a big debate about this in India, he said “Instead of wanting to give people free access to basic Internet services, critics of the programme continue to spread false claims – even if that means leaving behind a billion people.” In yet another marketing blitz, Zuckerberg himself appeared in a video to ‘decode’ the service along with writing a personal appeal in The Times of India.
