Tonight on The Buck Stops Here:
Arvind Kejriwal vs Najeeb Jung: Constitutional crisis or clash of egos?
The public spat between Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lt Governor Najeeb Jung took a turn for the worse today when senior civil servant Anindo Majumdar was locked out of his office. Delhi government had removed him from the post of Principal Secretary (Services), an order which was declared void by the Lt Governor. On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: has the bureaucracy become the latest battlefield for the political war between the BJP and AAP? Is Delhi bracing itself for a constitutional crisis or is it just a clash of egos?
No 'mercy' for Aruna Shanbaug: Is India ready for euthanasia?
Raped, choked and left to die, Aruna Shanbaug lived in vegetative state for over four decades. Today, she died of pneumonia. But Aruna Shanbaug became the face of the entire debate around euthanasia and gave the country a ruling by the Supreme Court allowing passive euthanasia. On The Buck Stops Here, we revisit Aruna's story and ask whether we let her down by neither allowing her to live nor allowing her to die. We debate: was keeping her alive an act of compassion or cruelty? And does her death reopen the entire debate about right to die?
