[00:00:55] So let's start with the news from Parliament. Yes, the stalemate [00:00:59] continued in Parliament today and the opposition created [00:01:03] a ruckus in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, [00:01:06] due to which the proceedings of both houses were disrupted. [00:01:09] Due to the continuous ruckus of opposition members in the Lok Sabha [00:01:13] today, the Question Hour could not be held and Speaker Om Birla [00:01:16] had to adjourn the House till 2 pm. As soon [00:01:20] as the proceedings of the House began, the Lok Sabha Speaker [00:01:24] expressed his condolences to the families of those [00:01:27] who lost their lives in this devastating attack on the 81st [00:01:31] anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki [00:01:34] and then the House observed a two-minute silence [00:01:38] to pay tribute to the innocent people killed in this attack. After this, [00:01:41] as soon as the Speaker announced the start of the Question Hour, [00:01:45] opposition members came to the well of the House, shouting slogans [00:01:49] and started creating a ruckus, demanding a reply from the government [00:01:52] on the alleged theft of offerings from the Ram Temple and the police [00:01:56] action against students protesting against the NEET paper leak. [00:02:00] approval, the bill is brought Due to this continuous ruckus by the opposition, the Question Hour [00:02:04] could not be held and the proceedings of the House were [00:02:08] adjourned till 2 pm. [00:02:12] of the government. [00:02:13] the Appropriation Bill Meanwhile, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla appealed to the protesting members [00:02:17] is joining us with more to be calm and return to their seats, [00:02:19] The Meteorological Department has issued saying that the Question Hour is a very important time [00:02:21] for the House and the people of the country want to hear [00:02:25] the questions of their representatives and the government's replies. Despite [00:02:29] the appeal of the Lok Sabha Speaker, the opposition members continued [00:02:32] their ruckus and after that, within five minutes, he adjourned [00:02:36] the House till 2 pm. [00:02:37] दी [00:02:45] When the government has called the students The House should be for discussion and dialogue [00:02:48] but you regularly create [00:02:51] an obstruction in a planned manner. [00:02:55] You lower the dignity of the House. You bring [00:02:59] immoral posters. I request you, [00:03:02] this House is for discussion, dialogue, this is not [00:03:06] a good tradition and your conduct is also [00:03:09] not good, the country is watching this conduct. I again [00:03:13] request you, please cooperate in running the House. I will [00:03:17] run the House, on every issue, every subject, [00:03:21] on every bill, you will get sufficient time, [00:03:24] you can express your views in the discussion and dialogue. [00:03:28] So if we talk about [00:03:30] every news is... gone into. the work, then today in the Lok Sabha, there will be [00:03:33] a discussion on the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026. [00:03:36] Let's know what is special in this bill. Let us tell you that the Taxation [00:03:40] Amendment Bill, 2026 will replace the Income Tax Amendment [00:03:44] is a common challenge Ordinance, 2026 and its main objective [00:03:48] is to amend the taxation provisions. This will somewhere [00:03:52] promote foreign investment and there will be tax [00:03:55] incentives for electronics manufacturing and tax [00:04:00] reforms for data are also included in this. [00:04:04] Electronics manufacturing will somehow get tax incentives. So the Taxation [00:04:08] Amendment Bill, 2026 also includes efforts [00:04:11] for tax reforms for data [00:04:14] for all these updates for our viewers. centers and also [00:04:17] people are also seen joining the diamond industry will get a boost from this. [00:04:19] Talking about business, [00:04:22] Vikas, for sharing all these updates with our viewers. new provisions for business trusts will be included in this [00:04:26] and a proposal for an investment-friendly system has been [00:04:30] made. There is a proposal for tax exemption for foreign [00:04:34] institutional investors in this. They will get the benefit [00:04:37] of tax exemption and there is also a proposal [00:04:41] to give tax exemption on capital gains. So foreign [00:04:45] institutional investors will get tax exemption in this and [00:04:48] also there will be a provision to give tax exemption [00:04:51] on capital gains. Meanwhile, BIS [00:04:54] will also get the benefit of tax exemption. [00:04:58] Foreign investment will get [00:05:00] a boost somewhere and the government is continuously [00:05:03] focusing on long-term foreign investment and [00:05:07] therefore long-term foreign [00:05:11] same matter which he has investment will also get a boost through this amendment. The government is continuously [00:05:15] focusing on foreign investment and it will get a boost [00:05:18] through the Taxation Amendment Bill. There will be a simple tax [00:05:22] regime for eligible investment funds and also [00:05:25] emphasis will be placed on promoting fund management activities. [00:05:28] There is also a proposal to increase the surcharge [00:05:32] on special purpose vehicles. So a proposal [00:05:35] has been made to increase the surcharge on special [00:05:39] purpose vehicles. The surcharge on SPVs will increase from 10% to 25%. [00:05:43] Along with this, this entire new tax system will be applicable [00:05:47] to SPVs adopting this provision. [00:05:50] So this provision will be applicable to SPVs adopting the new [00:05:54] tax system. The surcharge for other domestic [00:05:57] companies will remain 10%. So for other domestic [00:06:01] companies, the surcharge will remain 10%. So let [00:06:04] us tell you in which laws this entire amendment [00:06:07] is going to happen. Amendment is going to happen in the Payment [00:06:11] and Settlement Systems Act 2007. Amendment will happen [00:06:14] in the Income Tax Act 2025 [00:06:17] and the Finance Act [00:06:20] 2026 will be amended. [00:06:23] Digital payments will be promoted. [00:06:27] Along with this, there will be no [00:06:30] charges on electronic payment [00:06:34] methods and banks will not be able to charge [00:06:37] additional fees now. Digital payments will be promoted. [00:06:41] We know that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is continuously focusing [00:06:45] on making Digital India and that is why efforts are being made [00:06:49] to further promote digital payments. Notified e-payment [00:06:52] methods will be free of charge. Yes, this is an entire exercise [00:06:56] to promote electronic transactions. Online transactions [00:07:00] will become easier and common consumers [00:07:03] will get relief. So a big effort is being made [00:07:06] in the direction of digital payments. Meanwhile, the ruckus [00:07:10] by the opposition continued in the Rajya Sabha today, due to which [00:07:13] we saw the proceedings of the House being continuously [00:07:16] disrupted. The issue of theft of offerings from the Ram Temple [00:07:20] in Ayodhya and the police action against protesting students [00:07:24] is heating up. Opposition MPs are continuously demanding [00:07:27] a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah by creating a ruckus. [00:07:31] Due to this ruckus, the Rajya Sabha meeting [00:07:35] was adjourned till 2:15 pm after one adjournment. [00:07:38] Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan placed the necessary documents [00:07:42] on the table of the House and asked members to raise [00:07:45] issues of public importance under Zero Hour. [00:07:49] During this, opposition members, [00:07:52] including Congress and Samajwadi Party, started creating a ruckus. [00:07:55] Amidst the ruckus, some members raised [00:07:58] issues of public importance under Zero Hour. [00:08:01] The proceedings of the House were continuously [00:08:05] disrupted during this time and during this, Parliamentary Affairs Minister [00:08:09] Kiren Rijiju said that it is not right [00:08:12] to conduct parliamentary business like this every day. [00:08:16] He said that the continuous disruption in the session [00:08:19] due to the ruckus of opposition members. Amidst the ruckus [00:08:23] of the opposition, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister has put forward [00:08:27] his views on parliamentary rules [00:08:28] and procedures. Let's hear what he said. Rule [00:08:32] 235. [00:09:42] has appealed to maintain order. He has said that [00:09:46] the rules of the Rajya Sabha clearly state that no [00:09:50] member can be interrupted while speaking [00:09:53] and making noise during a member's speech, [00:09:56] making unruly remarks, continuously interrupting [00:10:00] and disrupting the proceedings of the House [00:10:03] in any way is completely [00:10:06] against parliamentary rules. [00:10:08] He kept repeating the same [00:10:12] matter for seven days, that is why the rule [00:10:16] was specifically mentioned that a member [00:10:19] cannot refer to the [00:10:23] already spoken with the permission [00:10:49] and will move a proposal to return it to the Lok Sabha. [00:10:52] Let's try to understand what this appropriation [00:10:56] means, what is this appropriation [00:10:58] bill? Let us tell you that it relates [00:11:02] to the financial year ending March 31, 2023 [00:11:06] and it provides for authorizing additional expenditure [00:11:09] from the Consolidated Fund. This gives the government [00:11:12] legal permission to spend money from the Consolidated [00:11:16] Fund. The government cannot spend any money from the fund [00:11:20] without Parliament's approval. It is very important [00:11:23] to get Parliament's approval for additional government expenditure. [00:11:27] And the bill has been passed by the Lok Sabha. Now the bill [00:11:31] has been passed by voice vote in the Lok Sabha. Now let [00:11:34] us tell you that this appropriation bill is very [00:11:38] important. The total amount in the bill presented [00:11:41] is ₹54,067 crore and the central [00:11:44] government's demands for grants are included in it. The entire [00:11:48] amount is under the charged head and the entire [00:11:51] amount works under the charged head and how does [00:11:54] this provision work, we will also tell you this. Every year [00:11:58] in the budget, funds are allocated for ministries [00:12:01] and schemes. If the expenditure exceeds [00:12:05] the sanctioned amount, additional expenditure is recorded. The CAG [00:12:08] audits this additional expenditure and the Public [00:12:11] Accounts Committee reviews the expenditure. Then, [00:12:15] on the recommendation of the PAC, the government demands additional [00:12:19] grants and Parliament approves the additional [00:12:22] grants. After Parliament's [00:12:25] and upon the passing of the bill, the additional [00:12:29] expenditure gets legal [00:12:32] validity. [00:12:35] So after the approval of Parliament, [00:12:38] is introduced. Rajesh Raj [00:12:42] information on the proceedings of Parliament. Rajesh, if we look [00:12:45] continuously, the opposition seems to be creating obstruction. [00:12:49] Although the government has completed many tasks during this period, [00:12:53] the opposition's attempt seems to be only to create obstruction. [00:12:56] है [00:12:59] Uh, look, certainly, the way the weather [00:13:03] was changing today, it was expected [00:13:06] that the opposition's mood would also change [00:13:10] and everything would be fine in the House. [00:13:13] But that didn't happen. The weather changed, but the opposition's [00:13:17] mood did not change and despite the heavy [00:13:20] torrential rain, the opposition staged a protest at the Makardwara [00:13:24] of Parliament and they also [00:13:27] went inside the House and created a ruckus, [00:13:31] due to which you saw that the proceedings of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha [00:13:35] were disrupted. [00:13:40] Information has been received and after that, today, [00:13:44] on that subject, no one [00:13:46] needs to make any wrong comment [00:13:50] on this. Jharkhand Protest [00:13:54] is going on. Whether it is in Jharkhand, [00:13:57] Telangana, in various [00:14:00] states, the way exam papers [00:14:03] were leaked, this [00:14:09] for the country. We need to rectify [00:14:13] the systems across the country and I would request that these [00:14:16] states also take this matter [00:14:20] with the same seriousness as the central government [00:14:24] has taken it. [00:14:25] लिया [00:14:28] So Rajesh Raj is continuously with us with more information. [00:14:32] Rajesh, as you heard Piyush Goyal, he is saying that whether it is [00:14:36] Jharkhand or other states, the way the central government [00:14:39] is seriously working on all these paper leak issues, [00:14:43] the state governments should also think in the same way. [00:14:46] चाहिए, [00:14:50] Look, the ruling party members are raising this question strongly. [00:14:54] Sanjay Seth, the BJP MP from Ranchi and Minister of State [00:14:57] for Defence in the central government, raised this issue vociferously [00:15:01] yesterday and came out of the House to speak to the media [00:15:05] and in this matter, he clearly demanded [00:15:08] a CBI inquiry into the irregularities that occurred in the Jharkhand [00:15:12] Public Service Commission and told Rahul Gandhi [00:15:16] to come to Jharkhand and stage a protest [00:15:19] there. So, certainly, the ruling party members are aggressive [00:15:23] towards the opposition, saying that if in the center, [00:15:27] Delhi, or other parts of the country, where incidents [00:15:30] related to paper leaks occur, the opposition [00:15:34] works to raise them, then why is the opposition [00:15:38] not protesting over the irregularities [00:15:42] that occurred in Jharkhand? And perhaps this is why [00:15:45] Sanjay Seth, the Minister of State for Defence, [00:15:49] clearly appealed to Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition [00:15:53] in the Lok Sabha, to come there and stage a protest [00:15:56] in Ranchi because we saw how protests were organized [00:16:00] at Jantar Mantar on the issue of students and [00:16:03] after that protest, the then Education Minister [00:16:06] Dharmendra Pradhan resigned. Their demands were accepted, [00:16:10] so then why are the leaders of the BJP, whether [00:16:14] it is Babulal Marandi, Arjun Munda, or [00:16:17] the ministers from Jharkhand in the central government, [00:16:21] attacking the opposition by raising this issue [00:16:25] of irregularities in JPSC and demanding a CBI [00:16:28] inquiry into it? And you saw how Kiren Rijiju [00:16:32] clearly said in the Rajya Sabha that the parliamentary ruckus [00:16:35] that is being created, [00:16:49] is continuously trying to disrupt the work, [00:16:52] but the same issues of students are there in Jharkhand [00:16:56] and other states, but they are not making any effort [00:17:00] to show their concern there. So this double standard, [00:17:04] double character is coming to light. [00:17:07] As I told you earlier, Sheila, the MPs of the Bharatiya [00:17:10] Janata Party from Jharkhand are continuously [00:17:14] trying to raise this issue aggressively, [00:17:18] saying that if protests can happen against the central [00:17:22] government, then why are the opposition members [00:17:25] not showing aggression against the state governments [00:17:29] against whom allegations are being made? And the question [00:17:33] is absolutely valid and as I told you earlier, [00:17:36] the weather in Delhi certainly changed, but the opposition's [00:17:39] mood did not change and despite the heavy torrential rain, [00:17:43] they staged a protest, both outside the House [00:17:47] and inside the House, due to which the proceedings [00:17:51] of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha had to be adjourned. [00:17:55] Now it remains to be seen what attitude the opposition [00:17:58] adopts when the House resumes its proceedings [00:18:01] in the afternoon. Meanwhile, it is expected [00:18:05] that amidst the ruckus, [00:18:07] the ruling party members will try to pass the bill [00:18:11] and certainly, it is somewhere the helplessness of the ruling [00:18:15] party that the opposition is not cooperating [00:18:19] and in such a situation, passing the bill [00:18:22] seems to be a clear compulsion for them. In such [00:18:25] a situation, we would also like to know which are [00:18:29] the bills that are [00:18:29] to be tabled today [00:18:34] and which the government would like to be [00:19:07] tried to do and tried to attract the attention of the [00:19:11] people of the country from the ruling party. [00:19:14] But today, if we look, then today the Appropriation [00:19:18] Bill, which you have mentioned in detail in your anchor, [00:19:21] that Nirmala Sitharaman will bring this bill and try to pass [00:19:25] it. And apart from this, many other small bills [00:19:29] will be tried to be passed. The bill related to judges [00:19:32] was a very important bill. It was already passed amidst [00:19:35] the ruckus in the Lok Sabha, but yesterday, it could be discussed [00:19:39] in the Rajya Sabha because the Congress and opposition [00:19:43] members had walked out of the House. And because of [00:19:46] this, it could be discussed. If they walk out of the House [00:19:50] today also, then after the discussion, the ruling party will try to pass [00:19:53] it. If they remain present in the House and try to create [00:19:57] a ruckus, then it will certainly be a compulsion for the ruling [00:20:01] party to pass the bill amidst the ruckus. Although the ruling [00:20:04] party's effort is that all bills should be passed in the House [00:20:07] with consensus, by voice vote, and there should be a discussion [00:20:11] on it so that the people of the country know what [00:20:15] are the merits and demerits of each bill and the opposition [00:20:19] also gets a first opportunity that when you [00:20:22] participate in the discussion in the House, you have an [00:20:26] opportunity to corner the ruling party, to discuss the merits [00:20:29] and demerits of the bill, and to discuss the amendment, [00:20:33] as well as to express your views on it, because [00:20:37] the public is watching, from where you have been elected, [00:20:40] they are watching, they know what your views are [00:20:44] on it and what you want to say on it, [00:20:48] but the opposition seems to be absent in terms [00:20:51] of discussion, but the ruling party's effort is that [00:20:55] they are continuously talking about coming, talking, discussing [00:20:59] it, but the opposition seems to be shying away from discussion. [00:21:03] In such a situation, if we look at the productivity, then [00:21:06] how much work has been done [00:21:07] in this monsoon session so far? [00:21:14] Look, amidst the ruckus, Sheela, we saw that [00:21:17] efforts were made to pass many bills. [00:21:50] This is the last day before attainment [00:21:53] and Friday is dedicated to Private Member Bills, [00:21:57] in which private bills are introduced. So it remains to be seen [00:22:01] what work will be done today. Tomorrow, on Friday, [00:22:04] Private Member Bills are brought after the second half [00:22:08] and the first part is dedicated to Question [00:22:11] Hour and Zero Hour. So today is a very important [00:22:15] day and certainly, if we look at all three [00:22:18] weeks, they have been consumed by ruckus. [00:22:22] But amidst this ruckus, the government has certainly [00:22:26] managed to pass many bills, in which it has been successful. [00:22:29] The Anti-Paper Leak Bill is a very important bill, [00:22:33] which the ruling party passed very strongly [00:22:37] from the House and in it, the opposition, [00:22:40] even amidst the ruckus, participated in the discussion. [00:22:44] So it will be interesting to see that tomorrow [00:22:48] will be the last day of the third week and now [00:22:51] only a few days will remain in the next week, [00:22:55] Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, on August 13, [00:22:59] the session is expected to end. Rajesh, one more small [00:23:03] question, which are the bills that the government [00:23:06] would like to pass in this monsoon session itself? [00:23:09] जाए, [00:23:14] Look, the government's top priority was the Anti-Paper [00:23:17] Leak Bill, the bill related to the Supreme Court, [00:23:21] many amendments [00:23:23] related to the bank were there, and the Birth [00:23:27] and Death Registration Bill, the government tried [00:23:31] to pass it and it was also passed [00:23:34] by the House. Now the ruling party wants to pass [00:23:38] the remaining small bills at all costs and [00:23:42] a continuous gossip is doing the rounds [00:23:45] in the corridors of Parliament that the ruling party [00:23:48] wants to bring back the delimitation bill, [00:23:51] and talks of extending the session's duration [00:23:54] are also coming to the fore, [00:23:58] but no confirmed information has been received on this yet, [00:24:01] but the ruling party's intention is certainly to bring [00:24:05] that bill after consultation with the opposition, [00:24:08] for which if the session's duration has to be extended, [00:24:12] it can be extended, but no official announcement [00:24:16] has been made about this yet, nor has any information [00:24:19] been received, it's just a market of discussions that is clearly visible [00:24:23] and the ruling party's effort is to fully [00:24:26] utilize the remaining days and by convincing [00:24:30] the opposition, try to clear the pending [00:24:34] legislative work. Well, let's hope that [00:24:37] the legislative work goes smoothly [00:24:41] and this monsoon session becomes more [00:24:44] productive. For now, thank you very much [00:24:48] for sharing all these updates with our viewers. [00:26:32] Welcome back after the break, you are watching Midday Prime and in Midday Prime, [00:26:36] let's turn to another piece of news. Yes, let us tell you [00:26:40] that a terrible road accident has occurred [00:26:43] near Punch police station area on the Jhansi-Kanpur [00:26:46] National Highway in Uttar Pradesh and in this road accident, [00:26:50] the youngest son of mafia Ateeq Ahmed, [00:26:53] Aban Ahmed, has died. Yes, he died in the accident. [00:26:57] Another companion of his also lost his life in the accident, [00:27:00] while three other youths, Umar Mohammad Zaid and [00:27:04] Aslam, have been injured. Aban was going to meet [00:27:08] his brother Ali Ahmed, who is imprisoned in Jhansi jail, [00:27:11] along with his companions and during this, his car [00:27:15] met with an accident near Punch area. As soon as the [00:27:19] information of the accident was received, the local police and ambulance [00:27:22] reached the spot and all the injured were immediately sent to Community [00:27:25] Health Center Moth. The police have sent both the bodies [00:27:29] for post-mortem and the entire matter is being investigated. So [00:27:33] the news of the death of Aban and two others in this road [00:27:36] accident near Punch is coming to light. Vikas, [00:27:40] our correspondent from Jhansi, is joining us [00:27:43] with more updates. Vikas, how did this accident [00:27:47] happen and what is the current situation? Yes, yes, [00:27:50] I will tell you, this is Punch police station [00:27:54] area, about 65 kilometers from Jhansi, [00:27:58] where on the highway, it is being said that what the [00:28:01] villagers told was that the speed of the car [00:28:05] was very high and in between, an animal [00:28:08] came on the road and in an attempt to save [00:28:11] it or overtake it, the car hit the divider [00:28:14] and the accident was so severe, the collision [00:28:18] was so strong that many people nearby heard its sound [00:28:22] and in between, it was told that two people died [00:28:25] on the spot, one of whom is Aban and the other is Sonu, [00:28:29] his companion, who were coming to meet his brother imprisoned [00:28:33] in Jhansi, these two people and in the same image, [00:28:37] it was told that three other people, a total of five [00:28:41] people were in the car, out of which three are injured. [00:28:44] Okay, so what is the condition of the injured right now? Where are they [00:28:48] injured and what is their condition? Are they able to talk and tell about the accident? [00:28:51] Yes, yes, right now, they have been brought [00:28:55] to the emergency of Jhansi Medical College. They have just [00:28:59] been admitted to the emergency by ambulance. But [00:29:02] we have tried to talk to them, [00:29:05] but they have not given any answer yet and [00:29:09] they are saying that they are all injured, so they don't know [00:29:12] that two people, Aban and Sonu, have died. [00:29:15] And their bodies are being sent to Jhansi for post-mortem. [00:29:18] So was Aban sitting in the front? [00:29:21] What was the intensity of the accident [00:29:25] that he died on the spot? Yes, [00:29:29] because it's a highway and it's also the rainy [00:29:33] season, there was light rain and it was said [00:29:36] that the speed of the car must have been above 100, [00:29:40] as the villagers have told, so suddenly, due to an animal [00:29:44] coming on the road, the car hit the big [00:29:47] dividers on the road and certainly, [00:29:50] Aban might have been sitting in the front [00:29:54] because no one has been able to confirm [00:29:57] where these people were sitting and because [00:30:01] it was a horrific accident and the collision [00:30:04] was so strong that due to head injury [00:30:08] and this, he died instantly. [00:30:12] So he was going to meet his brother imprisoned in jail and [00:30:16] during this, this entire road accident happened. The news of the death of Atiq Ahmed's younger son, Aban Ahmed, [00:30:19] has come to light. Thank you very much, [00:30:25] Now, moving on in prime time, let's talk about how long students [00:30:28] will have to wait for justice. Yes, we are talking about Jharkhand. In Jharkhand, [00:30:32] the student movement against irregularities in competitive exams [00:30:36] is continuously ongoing, and it has been going on for many days. [00:30:39] AISA announced a protest march to the assembly yesterday, [00:30:43] and the protesting students [00:30:45] will be seen gheraoing the assembly on August 10 [00:30:48] with their demands. Amidst this, seeing the increasing [00:30:52] protest by the students, the state government [00:30:55] now appears to be softening its stance. A committee has also been formed [00:30:59] for talks with the students, and this committee includes [00:31:03] Ministers Sudivya Kumar, Deepika Pandey Singh, [00:31:06] Sanjay Prasad Yadav, and Chamra Linda. [00:31:09] The state government has invited students for talks, [00:31:13] and meanwhile, the CID investigation from the Soren government has also intensified. [00:31:17] The scope of the investigation into irregularities in competitive exams seems to be continuously expanding, [00:31:20] and so far, 18 accused have been arrested [00:31:24] in this matter. So, under pressure from the students, the Soren government [00:31:27] is finally seen softening its stance. [00:31:29] सरकार [00:31:32] So, in Jharkhand, students are demanding justice, [00:31:35] but the CM seems to be maintaining silence. This entire movement [00:31:39] is continuously going on at Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium. A large number [00:31:43] of students are present there and protesting. Many candidates [00:31:47] are also on hunger strike there. [00:31:50] Along with that, let us tell you that this entire movement [00:31:53] is against irregularities in JPSC. The way [00:31:57] the protesting students [00:32:00] against the irregularities are quite vocal. [00:32:03] They are quite vocal about their demands, and [00:32:07] these students are insistent on the demand for a CBI inquiry. [00:32:11] Yes, they don't trust the CID inquiry as much. They are demanding a CBI inquiry. [00:32:15] They also demand the cancellation of the 14th JPSC exam. So, these students [00:32:19] have many major demands. They are also demanding an investigation [00:32:22] into the OMR merit process so that the truth [00:32:26] can come out. They are demanding complete transparency in recruitment processes, [00:32:30] and it is also necessary that complete transparency be maintained [00:32:33] in recruitment processes. The students have put forward several [00:32:37] conditions before the government, and these conditions [00:32:41] are that the recruitment process should be transparent. They have also demanded [00:32:44] that the CM come to the protest site. They have talked about [00:32:48] having a direct conversation with CM Hemant Soren, that they want to talk directly [00:32:52] to the Chief Minister. They have talked about [00:32:54] having this entire discussion in the presence of the media. They have talked about not having [00:32:58] a discussion in a closed room, and they have demanded to have all discussions [00:33:02] in the presence of the media so that the truth can come out [00:33:05] and all assurances can be made public. The students have clearly refused [00:33:09] to have a discussion in a closed room, saying that the discussion will not happen in a closed room, [00:33:13] but rather in public. Amidst talks with the government, [00:33:16] there is also talk of forming a reform platform for discussions. [00:33:20] 10 students from the reform platform will talk [00:33:23] with representatives [00:33:27] Along with that, let us tell you that this student movement is continuing [00:33:31] on the 13th day, and this student movement [00:33:34] is continuously gaining momentum. So, the monsoon session [00:33:38] of Jharkhand is starting, and CM Soren's [00:33:41] tension seems to be increasing in it. In the all-party meeting, the issue [00:33:45] of the student movement seemed to heat up. The protesting students [00:33:49] are quite vocal about their demands. [00:33:52] There is also continuous talk of gheraoing the assembly on August 10, [00:33:55] that this entire gherao of the assembly will happen on August 10. [00:33:59] And due to all this, the Hemant Soren government [00:34:03] is now seen to be in tension. You are seeing all these [00:34:06] visuals on your TV screen. How students are protesting [00:34:10] on the 13th day and are standing firm [00:34:13] in the field that this time, the recruitment process [00:34:17] will surely be made transparent. These students are firm on an indefinite [00:34:21] Satyagraha, and are saying to Hemant Soren [00:34:25] that this was not expected from you. So, this entire movement is happening [00:34:28] over exam fraud, and a large number of students [00:34:32] are present who are talking [00:34:36] about transparency, who are talking about preventing [00:34:39] fraud in exams, who are talking about [00:34:43] bringing the truth to light. So, "Enemies of jobs, resign!" [00:34:47] Such placards are being held in their hands. Diwakar Kumar [00:34:51] from Ranchi is joining us with more information. Diwakar ji, we are continuously [00:34:54] seeing that the student movement is only [00:34:58] increasing, and there is also talk of gheraoing the assembly [00:35:02] on the 10th. What are the demands of the students, [00:35:06] and how much is the government now giving in? [00:35:09] रही [00:35:13] Look, this student movement [00:35:15] is continuously becoming aggressive, and now, look, this crowd [00:35:19] is telling a story of how the students' [00:35:22] movement is now getting support from the common public as well. [00:35:26] People from social organizations are also coming, and other salaried [00:35:32] these students. And look how this crowd [00:35:35] in the afternoon, because it's lunchtime right now, [00:35:39] many voluntary organizations have arranged food for the students [00:35:43] here, and all those arrangements have been made so that the students' [00:35:47] movement can continue in this manner until the government [00:35:50] takes cognizance of their demands and their demands are met. [00:35:54] So, this effort is continuously ongoing, and look how the students [00:35:58] are still firm on the main demand, and [00:36:01] their movement is going on peacefully [00:36:05] in this manner, in which they are still firm [00:36:09] on the path of Satyagraha, and they are continuously [00:36:13] demanding that there should be a CBI inquiry, [00:36:15] and the government in this matter cannot now just try to whitewash [00:36:19] things. Regarding the demand for a CID inquiry and the demand for a CBI inquiry, [00:36:23] the candidates are definitely firm on this point that [00:36:27] the CID inquiry is just an attempt [00:36:30] to whitewash things. So, definitely, this student movement [00:36:34] in Jharkhand is slowly moving forward, [00:36:37] and this movement is continuously intensifying. [00:36:40] The scope of the investigation [00:36:44] into the exam fraud also appears to be continuously expanding, [00:36:47] and some arrests have also been made. How many arrests have been made so far, [00:36:51] and what further possibilities [00:36:53] are there? [00:36:57] Look, definitely, so far, a total of 18 arrests have been made [00:37:00] in this case. Late last evening, [00:37:03] five people were arrested from Lucknow, so this [00:37:07] number is also increasing, and the government is trying to assure that [00:37:10] we are working, but the students are not ready to accept [00:37:14] this, and they are continuously firm on the demand for a CBI inquiry. And today, when [00:37:18] the assembly session was going on, you also saw how all the MLAs of the Bharatiya [00:37:22] Janata Party staged a protest [00:37:26] inside the assembly premises and demanded [00:37:29] a CBI inquiry in this entire matter from the government. And they have said [00:37:33] that they stand with the students' movement, and when I was talking to the student leaders [00:37:37] today, they also clearly said that they are firm on the demand for a CBI inquiry, and [00:37:40] there should be complete reform in JPSC and JSSC, [00:37:44] and also on August 10, [00:37:47] they are also firm on their program of gheraoing [00:37:51] and protesting the assembly. And in the meantime, [00:37:54] Diwakar ji, once again, the same question, as we are [00:37:58] seeing [00:38:00] that in the national-level movements, [00:38:04] the opposition comes forward in a certain way. In the state where their supporting government [00:38:07] is in power, that kind of role is not played. Are students [00:38:11] not students there? Do their demands change there? [00:38:13] है, [00:38:17] Look, definitely, the student movement is continuously growing, and now this [00:38:21] movement is also demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Hemant Soren, [00:38:25] and the students have continuously [00:38:27] entered a state of uproar peacefully. But the biggest Satyagraha [00:38:31] they have resorted to, in that, the pamphlets clearly [00:38:35] show how they have resorted to pamphlets and are satirizing [00:38:38] the government, satirizing Hemant Soren. People are mimicking him, [00:38:42] so that this movement is also seen in a new form, [00:38:46] and through this movement, the students are continuously [00:38:50] becoming vocal, and are trying to make the government [00:38:54] aware that the government should take cognizance in this matter [00:38:57] and immediately take action and cancel the results of the PT exam [00:39:01] that were recently released, and the government should take cognizance [00:39:05] of all the exams that have happened in the last five or six years and get that matter inquired by the CBI. [00:39:09] कराए, [00:39:13] for talks, why aren't the students [00:39:16] going for talks? Why do they want [00:39:19] the government to come to them and talk there? Do they have some doubt [00:39:23] about transparency? [00:39:28] Look, definitely, since eight students are now sitting on an indefinite hunger strike [00:39:32] here, and the student movement is intensifying, the government has also started [00:39:36] taking initiatives from yesterday. Yesterday, from the government's side, [00:39:39] the SDO and ADM were sent here saying that the Chief Minister wants to talk, [00:39:43] but the students immediately refused, saying that the talks will only happen if the Chief Minister comes here [00:39:47] and talks. The talks will happen on a media platform, and there will be no talks [00:39:51] in a closed room. After that, a four-member committee has been formed [00:39:54] by the government, in which four ministers have been included. Two are from the Jharkhand Mukti [00:39:58] Morcha quota, one from Congress, and one from the RJD quota. [00:40:02] But the minister who has been given the responsibility is only to monitor [00:40:05] this ongoing movement. The students have asked [00:40:08] for five names who will talk to the Chief Minister at the representative level, [00:40:12] but no clear picture has emerged on that yet. Those five names have not been given by the students [00:40:16] because the students are so firm on their demand [00:40:20] that the Chief Minister should talk outside, should talk in front of the media. [00:40:24] So perhaps, a consensus has not been reached on this issue yet, and those five names have not yet been given by the students. [00:40:28] But there is a possibility being expressed. I was just talking to the students, [00:40:31] and they said that today, a little later, by evening, [00:40:35] these names will be released who will talk to the Chief Minister. [00:40:38] Alright, thank you very much, Diwakar ji, [00:40:41] Moving on, let's talk about the controversy [00:40:45] regarding appointments in government jobs in Kerala, which is once again seen to be intensifying. [00:40:49] The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha is protesting today outside the State Secretariat [00:40:53] in Thiruvananthapuram. The protesters started moving towards the Secretariat. [00:40:56] The police used water cannons to stop them there [00:41:00] and also used lathi charge. [00:41:01] है? [00:41:07] So, this entire controversy in Kerala is regarding appointments in government jobs. The Yuva Morcha's [00:41:11] protest is being seen here. Many rank holders have still not received appointment letters. [00:41:14] The Yuva Morcha alleges that there are irregularities in the Kerala Public Service Commission's [00:41:18] appointment process, and despite being named in the rank list, [00:41:22] a large number of candidates have not yet received appointment letters. [00:41:26] And regarding this issue, hundreds of teachers [00:41:29] and PSC rank holders from various districts are also continuously protesting [00:41:32] and continuously demanding that pending appointments be completed soon. [00:41:36] Let us tell you that in recent days, continuous dissatisfaction [00:41:40] regarding pending appointments has also been seen among social media and candidates. [00:41:43] The Yuva Morcha has alleged that both the CPI(M) and Congress [00:41:47] are now seen to be adopting a dual approach on the issue of PSC rank holders [00:41:51] and are not openly coming out in support of the affected candidates. [00:41:55] The organization says that the government should [00:41:58] complete all pending appointments soon [00:42:01] and ensure transparency in the recruitment process. [00:42:05] On the other hand, the Kerala [00:42:09] for interviews and other recruitment processes for the month of August, [00:42:12] but the protesting candidates say [00:42:16] that despite being included in the rank list, they are not getting appointments. [00:42:20] So, this entire protest outside the State Secretariat where protesters have been lathi-charged [00:42:23] and water cannons have also been used, this entire protest is of the Yuva Morcha. [00:42:27] Moving on, let's turn to the next news. Yes, the next news in Media Prime [00:42:31] is related to the NEET UG paper leak case. The hearing on various petitions [00:42:35] in the Supreme Court has now been adjourned until August 19. [00:42:38] And today, during the hearing of the case, the lawyer appearing on behalf of the petitioners [00:42:41] informed the court that an affidavit has been filed [00:42:45] in this matter as per the previous instructions of the central government. [00:42:49] And on this, the Supreme Court instructed the petitioners [00:42:53] to study the affidavit filed by the government and file their reply on it. [00:42:56] The court said that after the replies from all parties [00:43:00] are received, the next hearing of the case will be held on August 19. [00:43:04] This case is related to the alleged [00:43:08] paper leak and irregularities in the exam process of the NEET UG exam. [00:43:11] The petitions have raised various issues related to the fairness, [00:43:15] transparency, and interests of the candidates of the examination. [00:43:18] The Supreme Court has already sought replies from the central government, [00:43:22] concerned agencies, and other parties in this matter, and after [00:43:26] receiving affidavits and replies from all parties, the court will now hold [00:43:30] the next hearing of this entire matter on August 19. So, [00:43:33] the hearing on these petitions related to NEET [00:43:35] will be held. [00:43:38] Now let's talk about the weather.

Subina Roy from Dibrugarh, and Vivek [00:47:32] from Thiruvananthapuram. Let's get more updates on this weather. [00:47:35] Deepak, first of all, I would like to come to you. [00:47:39] We are seeing continuous rain since morning, [00:47:43] and the weather in Delhi has definitely become a little pleasant, [00:47:46] although the humidity is still causing distress. [00:47:49] रही [00:47:52] Yes, absolutely. If we talk about Delhi NCR, it has been continuously raining [00:47:56] in Delhi NCR since yesterday. It has been raining intermittently, and today, since morning, [00:47:59] heavy rain has also been witnessed. And talking about Delhi, [00:48:03] the Meteorological Department has said that Delhi NCR, especially [00:48:06] Chandigarh, Haryana, and the NCR region, as [00:48:10] I mentioned earlier, continuous rain is expected here.

In coastal areas, winds can blow [00:48:53] at a speed of 40 to 60 kilometers per hour. In such a situation, the sailors [00:48:57] who go out into the sea have also been asked to be alert. [00:49:01] If very strong winds blow, then they should not go out into the sea. So, [00:49:05] along with rain, as I mentioned, there is an alert for strong winds [00:49:09] in the coastal areas, and for hilly areas, whether it is Uttarakhand or [00:49:12] Himachal, in these places, the most alert for rain has been issued by the Meteorological Department. [00:49:16] Absolutely, an alert has also been issued for hilly states. Subina is joining us from Dibrugarh. [00:49:20] Let's get more updates. Subina, [00:49:23] what is the weather like, and what is the possibility [00:49:27] of it remaining so? [00:49:29] Yes, Sheila, currently the weather is quite sunny, [00:49:33] but the IMD has predicted a yellow alert. [00:49:36] There is a possibility of rain till approximately the 10th [00:49:40] and 11th, because the pattern in Assam [00:49:44] is that there is [00:49:47] intense summer, it's sunny, then after that, rain comes. [00:49:51] So this process continues throughout [00:49:55] the monsoon. And if we talk about relief and rescue [00:49:58] operations, just yesterday, Union Health Minister JP [00:50:02] Nadda had come. He conducted an aerial survey [00:50:06] of Sivasagar, Jorhat, and all these areas [00:50:09] that are most flood-affected. Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma [00:50:13] was also with him. Then they went to Nepali [00:50:17] Kuti, which is the worst-hit village this time, located in Sivasagar [00:50:20] district. There, he met people from seven communities, [00:50:24] talked to them about their problems and challenges [00:50:28] they are facing. Then at night, at the CM's [00:50:31] Secretariat in Dibrugarh, he held a meeting with all District Commissioners, [00:50:35] Cabinet Ministers, and the CM. [00:50:38] And then he said that he [00:50:42] would request the Finance Minister to bring relaxation [00:50:45] in the NDRF norms so that [00:50:49] maximum benefits from its funds [00:50:53] can be given to flood-affected families. [00:50:57] And today itself, the CM will provide financial assistance [00:51:00] for education to undergraduate [00:51:03] and postgraduate students, and also [00:51:06] to diploma students, to buy books [00:51:10] that have been completely destroyed in these floods. [00:51:13] So, everyone will be given money for books. [00:51:17] Along with that, all the flood-affected schools in these [00:51:21] areas, especially Sivasagar, will be given [00:51:25] around two lakh in flood assistance [00:51:29] so that they can rebuild their schools again. [00:51:32] And then he has also been continuously tweeting [00:51:36] that there has been a lot of siltation [00:51:39] due to continuous heavy rain. [00:51:43] So, how can this siltation be cleaned [00:51:46] as soon as possible so that [00:51:49] people can return to their normal lives, Sheila? So, that [00:51:53] is also being managed, and absolutely, from the government's side, [00:51:57] these relief and rescue operations are being carried out continuously [00:52:00] so that normalcy can be brought back as soon as possible and the general [00:52:04] public does not have to suffer much damage. [00:52:08] Vivek from Thiruvananthapuram is [00:52:11] joining us. Let's get an update from there too. Vivek, [00:52:15] if we talk about the latest update right now, what is [00:52:18] the situation? [00:52:19] अभी [00:52:24] The weather is sunny today, but in many areas, [00:52:27] the water level has not yet come down. [00:52:31] Remember, 26 people have died in the floods in Kerala [00:52:35] until the first week of August. And today and [00:52:38] tomorrow, an orange alert has been issued [00:52:42] for eight districts in Kerala, which are the central districts of Kerala, Pathanamthitta, [00:52:45] Alappuzha, Kottayam, Idukki. And for the [00:52:48] rest five districts, a yellow alert has been issued. [00:52:52] So, currently, the weather situation in Kerala is somewhat normal. [00:52:56] VD Satheesan, Chief Minister of Kerala, [00:53:00] has visited the relief camps [00:53:03] and [00:53:35] talked to the ASP. He said that Kerala does not have any problems [00:53:39] now. The water level has reduced. [00:53:43] And the IMD has clearly predicted [00:53:46] that in the next one week, the rain situation [00:53:49] will improve. So, today and tomorrow, [00:53:53] an orange alert has also been issued for eight districts. Thank you very much, Vivek, Subina, and [00:53:56] Deepak, for joining us and sharing all these [00:54:00] updates from across the country with our viewers. [00:54:03] साझा करने के लिए
