Rajpal Yadav reacts to Nawazuddin’s praise
Watch how Rajpal Yadav reacted to Nawazuddin Siddiqui praising him for helping fellow actors during their struggling days in Mumbai.
The big talking point of this episode of News Today is Bajrang Dal activists' attack on a birthday party in Bareilly this Sunday. Meanwhile, right-wing group Hindu Rakshak Dal members were seen distributing swords to people in Ghaziabad. Police have arrested ten people after the video went viral. So, the questions we are raising on the show are: Are the Bajrang Dal and its affiliates getting a free run? Are the law enforcement agencies still much too soft on groups like Bajrang Dal? Is stronger action needed to check hate? Is banning the Bajrang Dal a solution? Watch as panellists share their views on these and more on the show.

Yogi Adityanath on Saturday presented a saffron gamcha to Suvendu Adhikari, shortly after the latter took oath as the first BJP Chief Minister of West Bengal. The crowd also erupted into a loud cheer as the scene unfolded at the swearing-in ceremony in Kolkata. This was at least the second such instance in recent weeks when the duo's bonhomie was witnessed publicly. Earlier, during the election campaign in the state, a powerful scene was witnessed when Adhikari bowed down at the feet of the UP Chief Minister as a mark of respect.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hugged and honoured 98-year-old Makhanlal Sarkar, one of the earliest and senior most members of the BJP. The scene unfolded on the stage ahead of Suvendu Adhikari's swearing-in as West Bengal's Chief Minister in Kolkata. PM Modi also touched Sarkar's feet and presented a shawl to him as a mark of respect. In 1952, Sarkar was arrested in Kashmir while he was accompanying Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee as the latter was marching to hoist the tricolour there. BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya described the elderly party leader as "one of the earliest grassroots figures associated with the nationalist movement in post-Independence India."
