In today’s featured cartoon, Alok Nirantar takes a swipe at debates on news channels while referring to the the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s suspension of its national spokesperson, Nupur Sharma, and expulsion of Delhi BJP media in-charge Naveen Kumar Jindal, over their controversial comments on the Prophet Muhammad. Sharma had made her remarks during such a TV debate, while Jindal expressed similar sentiments on social media.

Satish Acharya also refers to the BJP’s disciplinary actions against its two spokespersons, whose remarks were characterised as the views of “fringe elements” by the government in response to a diplomatic backlash. This was ridiculed by opposition leaders, who claimed that these views were mainstream in the BJP and not “fringe”.
