Will a Congress government seek wealth redistribution? Panelists debate on Rajdeep Sardesai's show
The big talking point of this episode of News Today is on PM Modi's blistering attack on Congress over its manifesto.
Nahid Afrin, the 16-year-old singer against whom a fatwa was issued by as many as 46 Muslim clerics in Assam, has decided to fight it out. Afrin, who was seen in the famous reality TV show Indian Idol, said she is not afraid of the threat and will continue to pursue her dream of making it big in the music industry.
Afrin joins India Today's Rahul Kanwal over a discussion on the fatwas issued against her by 46 Muslim clerics.
During the program she also sings an Arabic song as well as Borgeet, devotional songs of Assam's Vaishanavite culture.
As many as 46 Islamic organisations of Assam issued a fatwa against Afrin banning her from singing on stage citing Sharia laws. Pamphlets bearing the names of the 46 organisations/individuals were found in different parts of Assam such as Lanka, Hojai areas where Nahid is supposed to take part in a musical show on March 25.
Following her success in the reality show Indian Idol, Nahin made her debut in Bollywood last year by singing for Sonakshi Sinha-starrer Akira.
The big talking point of this episode of News Today is on PM Modi's blistering attack on Congress over its manifesto.

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacks Congress over its manifesto, we raise these questions on the show: will a Congress-led government seek wealth redistribution? Is this simply a weapon of mass distraction by Prime Minister Modi?
The main focus of this episode of 'To The Point' is on the low voter turnout in the first phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
