## Resource

First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Shubham Tigga about why Jharkhand’s 26-day protest over alleged recruitment-exam irregularities ended, how a High Court stay complicated the government’s response, and what the cancellation and suspension of dozens of recruitment processes mean for candidates. Next, we speak to The Indian Express’ Diplomatic Affairs Editor Shubhajit Roy about US Ambassador Sergio Gor’s visit to Jammu and Kashmir, what his remarks signal about Washington’s position on the region, and their significance for India-US ties. (14:05) And in the end, we examine an unverified audio clip in which fugitive gangster Goldy Brar purportedly claims involvement in the killing of Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a case that triggered a major diplomatic crisis between India and Canada. (23:50) Hosted by Ichha Sharma Produced and written by Shashank Bhargava, Niharika Nanda and Ichha Sharma Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
