Summary
On News@7 this April 17, Taniya Dutta brings to you the evening’s most crucial headlines. Debate intensified in the Lok Sabha over the women’s reservation and delimitation bills, with TMC MP Shatabdi Roy accusing the BJP of politicising the issue and Home Minister Amit Shah defending the proposals. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court  for the second time paused the interim bail granted to Congress leader Pawan Khera in a defamation case linked to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s wife. Separately, the Tipra Motha Party led by Pradyot Debbarma secured a landslide victory in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council elections, winning 24 of 28 seats. The BJP managed four seats, while CPI(M) and Congress failed to win any. Tune In! Produced by Taniya Dutta Sound mixed by Rohan Bharti
