[00:00:04] Where not with words, but with arguments Rahul Gandhi, a controversy is tested,
[00:00:07] here not rumors, but
[00:00:10] facts are investigated,
[00:00:13] here not just news, but evidence
[00:00:16] is given, know everything that
[00:00:20] is hidden from you, this is
[00:00:23] the whole truth, because there is no bigger news than
[00:00:26] the truth.
[00:00:34] When the country asks, an answer must be given,
[00:00:39] Nayab Singh Saini at 5 PM the bell of questions rings and that
[00:00:43] panchayat is held where issues are not postponed and no
[00:00:46] answer remains incomplete. You felt so bad about the question, I will ask
[00:00:50] it in another way, I will ask it in another way,
[00:00:54] here arguments do not echo, truth echoes,
[00:00:57] I, Rima Parashar, bring the country's...
[00:01:08] With youthful enthusiasm and new ideas,
[00:01:36] Hello everyone, welcome to DG News's prime time show
[00:01:40] News Night, I am Ritu Verma. First, let's talk about
[00:01:43] Rahul Gandhi's misbehavior. Once again, the political uproar continues over
[00:01:47] Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's remarks about Prime Minister Modi.
[00:01:50] BJP said that crossing all limits of decency in political
[00:01:54] opposition is neither democracy nor service nor culture.
[00:01:57] Mother is not a subject of politics.
[00:02:00] Insulting a mother cannot be acceptable
[00:02:02] With youthful enthusiasm and new ideas, in any civilized society. These are all statements of
[00:02:06] the Bharatiya Janata Party. BJP said that the mothers of
[00:02:11] has started here. With K. C. Neelam the country are watching everything. Such insensitivity
[00:02:13] and ridicule are not acceptable at any cost. We will tell
[00:02:17] you what happened in Rahul Gandhi's student outreach program in Indore,
[00:02:21] due to which he is facing criticism from all sides. We will
[00:02:25] also put before you the truth of these five questions that Rahul Gandhi
[00:02:29] raised among the students from this platform. The Bharatiya Janata Party
[00:02:33] today launched the third anti-drug Punjab march
[00:02:36] from Fazilka to free Punjab from the clutches
[00:02:40] of drugs. Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal flagged off the march and
[00:02:44] said that this march is not a political program
[00:02:47] but a very serious and important campaign
[00:02:50] related to social reform. There will be news that
[00:02:53] India won two silver medals on the first day of
[00:02:57] the 20th Asian Games, both medals came in 10-meter
[00:03:01] rifle shooting. There will also be news related to India's performance in the
[00:03:05] medal tally at the Asian Games, but before we look at all
[00:03:08] these news in detail, let's take
[00:03:12] from you. a look at the headlines so far. Rahul Gandhi again embroiled
[00:03:15] in controversy, accused of insulting women power during the students'
[00:03:19] echo program, BJP called
[00:03:24] not seem that Rahul the Congress leader's attitude condemnable. BJP's anti-drug campaign in Punjab
[00:03:27] continues, under the anti-drug Punjab
[00:03:30] march, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal addressed a huge
[00:03:33] rally in Fazilka, the Mann government surrounded
[00:03:37] on the issues of
[00:03:38] drugs and corruption.
[00:03:43] President Droupadi Murmu addressed the NGT International Conference,
[00:03:46] emphasizing the need for an organized structure to tackle
[00:03:50] climate challenges as the need
[00:03:53] of the hour.
[00:03:57] The world saw the power of the Indian Air Force, the
[00:04:01] Surya Kiran team showed speed, thrill and the valor
[00:04:04] of the Air Force in Bareilly, a confluence of patriotism and
[00:04:08] thrill was seen in the sky.
[00:04:13] And India's brilliant start in the Asian Games, two silver
[00:04:17] medals in shooting and a ticket to the final in women's cricket, with
[00:04:21] the Indian team on the path to victory.
[00:04:26] The political uproar over
[00:04:28] that not only Pakistan Rahul Gandhi's student outreach program has intensified. After the
[00:04:32] program held in Indore on Saturday, BJP launched
[00:04:35] a sharp attack on Rahul Gandhi and Congress. BJP alleges
[00:04:38] that Prime Minister Narendra Modi
[00:04:42] about anyone's mother or was mimicked from the stage of the program and objectionable comments
[00:04:44] were made about his late mother. BJP also questioned
[00:04:48] Rahul Gandhi's conduct, targeting
[00:04:49] Congress.
[00:04:52] Insult to mother, political uproar
[00:04:55] erupted, Rahul Gandhi and Congress
[00:04:59] attacked from all sides,
[00:05:01] along with BJP, other parties also condemned
[00:05:04] it.
[00:05:06] It is almost certain that after every program
[00:05:10] of Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha
[00:05:15] arises, or rather, Rahul
[00:05:18] has a deep connection with controversies. The latest controversy arose
[00:05:21] after his student outreach program in Indore on Saturday.
[00:05:25] It is alleged that during the program, a comedian,
[00:05:29] along with Rahul Gandhi on stage, not only mimicked
[00:05:32] PM Modi, made fun of his
[00:05:35] diplomacy, but also insulted
[00:05:39] his late mother. It is alleged that
[00:05:42] during this, Rahul Gandhi also kept laughing. Now,
[00:05:46] BJP has opened a front against Congress and Rahul
[00:05:49] Gandhi for this attitude. The prince
[00:05:52] of Congress also
[00:05:54] yesterday
[00:05:57] in the echo of his lies,
[00:06:00] the kind of behavior he displayed, it is an insult
[00:06:04] to all women. Rahul Gandhi should leave politics
[00:06:08] and become a stand-up comedian, because he has made his
[00:06:12] party unemployed. At least he should get employment as
[00:06:15] a stand-up comedian. Leaders of other parties have also strongly
[00:06:19] criticized Rahul Gandhi for insulting the Prime Minister and
[00:06:23] his late mother. The way you insulted the Prime
[00:06:26] Minister's mother, you have also insulted every citizen
[00:06:30] of the country who has a mother. This height
[00:06:33] of inefficiency and mental bankruptcy that you show,
[00:06:37] that you portray, one thing is clear from it,
[00:06:40] this was not the echo of students, it is the
[00:06:44] echo of lies. We feel that there should have been
[00:06:48] positive speeches there, there should have been talk about
[00:06:51] the children's education system, how we can improve the
[00:06:55] education system, that should have been talked about, and
[00:06:58] not if such comedy is being done about the Prime Minister
[00:07:02] or his mother, which is not good for the countrymen, then
[00:07:05] I think Rahul Gandhi ji will keep this
[00:07:09] in mind in the future and action should also be taken
[00:07:13] against such comedians. The Prime Minister of a country
[00:07:16] represents 140 crore people of the country.
[00:07:19] Making personal comments about such a person and
[00:07:23] even commenting on his family members, nothing can
[00:07:27] be more heinous than this. On one hand, while Congress
[00:07:31] and Rahul Gandhi are being criticized from all sides on
[00:07:34] this issue, on the other hand, Congress is still
[00:07:38] seen defending them. Senior Congress leader Harish Rawat
[00:07:41] is calling it a political
[00:07:44] game. In politics and in democracy,
[00:07:47] in parliamentary democracy, this is a natural
[00:07:50] process. This is natural. This is considered
[00:07:53] a virtue. This is not the first time that such
[00:07:57] allegations have been made against Rahul Gandhi. Earlier also,
[00:08:00] political controversies have emerged regarding Rahul Gandhi's
[00:08:04] programs. But the question is, does Congress want
[00:08:07] to fight the battle for power with a personal,
[00:08:11] controversial and anti-women mentality?
[00:08:14] Bureau Report DD
[00:08:18] is based on this. In political opposition, Congress is crossing
[00:08:21] limits. Special guests have joined us. RP Singh,
[00:08:25] BJP spokesperson, is with us. Shekhar Iyer Sahab, senior journalist, is with
[00:08:29] us. And Dushyant Nagar, political
[00:08:33] analyst, will join us shortly.
[00:08:36] But first of all, we would like to
[00:08:40] turn to Shekhar Iyer Sahab. Shekhar Iyer
[00:08:43] Sahab, Rahul Gandhi is the Leader of the Opposition, leader of such a political
[00:08:47] party, and the way the
[00:08:50] party is constantly trying to project him, the
[00:08:54] 2029 election is there, Rahul Gandhi is constantly campaigning.
[00:08:58] In such a situation, from such a platform, where
[00:09:01] a positive discussion could have happened regarding the
[00:09:05] education system, the way Rahul Gandhi is interacting
[00:09:09] with the students, how do you see this?
[00:09:12] It is not understandable why on such a
[00:09:16] stage, calling a comedian
[00:09:19] and then with such talks, I don't think
[00:09:22] what is the political strategy of Congress
[00:09:26] because if you have issues, you have
[00:09:30] many points to criticize the government,
[00:09:33] regarding students, regarding education, then why is
[00:09:37] the Prime Minister's mother being talked about and
[00:09:41] you are calling a comedian and the comedian is saying
[00:09:44] this and you are laughing there.
[00:09:47] Look, I don't think this
[00:09:50] is just not positive politics, this
[00:09:53] will not be a positive response from the public.
[00:09:57] Look, the Leader of the Opposition has a big role,
[00:10:01] but you have made yourself a joke, right? In
[00:10:04] this, look, there is another thing, many people
[00:10:08] are hurt that you did this to the Prime Minister's
[00:10:11] mother and also made fun of India's foreign policy
[00:10:15] before. You saw how he dragged the Italian Prime
[00:10:19] Minister into it. Then all this, a Leader
[00:10:22] of the Opposition who is presenting himself as a Prime
[00:10:26] Minister candidate in the next election, because now it
[00:10:30] is clear that all politics is happening on that, then
[00:10:34] who are you impressing by doing this, because the
[00:10:38] crowd in front of you knows that this style
[00:10:41] that you are adopting now, this 'Gunj' of students,
[00:10:45] is a choreographed program, where you call young
[00:10:48] people, there are some questions and answers, then
[00:10:51] by calling a comedian, I think, firstly you
[00:10:55] hurt the sensitivity of many people, and secondly,
[00:10:58] you also put a question mark on your
[00:11:02] political image, that how far have you reached with
[00:11:05] your politics. Okay, there is a big question
[00:11:09] mark on Rahul Gandhi's political thinking as well,
[00:11:12] the way Rahul Gandhi interacted with the students at
[00:11:16] the 'Gunj' of students in Indore, the entire
[00:11:19] conversation with a comedian, in which RP Singh
[00:11:22] questions were asked about
[00:11:25] Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mother or rather, about
[00:11:29] women power, the jokes that were told, the
[00:11:32] way the whole crowd was laughing.
[00:11:35] Now, this is not just about the Prime Minister's
[00:11:39] mother, but what about the whole thinking?
[00:11:42] How is the Bharatiya Janata Party taking this
[00:11:46] whole matter, because this is not the first case.
[00:11:49] Before this, we saw when indecent comments were made
[00:11:53] about the Italian Prime Minister, after that, Congress
[00:11:56] and Rahul Gandhi seem to be taking one more
[00:12:00] step further. Is there only objection, opposition or
[00:12:02] also action on this? Look, the people of the
[00:12:05] country take action. They have lost more than 100
[00:12:09] elections, continuously losing back-to-back elections. And
[00:12:13] now the DU elections happened, the Chandigarh elections
[00:12:16] happened, everyone showed the results. The Punjab University
[00:12:20] elections happened, everyone showed the results of how people
[00:12:24] are taking their activities, how they are thinking, and
[00:12:27] how they are taking it. But the main thing
[00:12:31] is what Shekhar ji said, that this is political bankruptcy.
[00:12:34] I say this is not political bankruptcy, this is
[00:12:38] mental bankruptcy. And this 'vote stealing, vote stealing,
[00:12:41] vote stealing' that they keep doing, the vote was not
[00:12:45] stolen, the intelligence has been stolen, that's why they
[00:12:49] do such cheap acts. Otherwise, no sensible person, leaving
[00:12:53] aside politics, no sensible
[00:12:55] person of 56 years of age would do such
[00:12:59] cheap acts. And then all that Shekhar was
[00:13:02] telling, all this is stage managed, this is an
[00:13:06] event. The people who were called on stage yesterday,
[00:13:09] who said that we don't get hostels, we don't
[00:13:30] question should have been to you, Dushyant ji, but
[00:13:34] you were not with us. What kind of
[00:13:38] politics is this? A platform where so many
[00:13:41] students were present, there could have been some suggestions
[00:13:45] regarding education policy, some more positive discussion
[00:13:49] could have taken place, interaction could have happened. But
[00:13:52] the joke, the humorous way with the comedian,
[00:13:56] the presence of the comedian is perhaps not
[00:14:00] such a big issue, Dushyant ji. Comedians
[00:14:03] also do their work, for which they get
[00:14:06] paid. But is it right
[00:14:10] to make fun of the Prime Minister of
[00:14:13] the country, to make fun of the country's
[00:14:17] diplomacy? What kind of politics is this,
[00:14:21] sir? Look, they have made
[00:14:25] fun of the country's diplomacy all over the
[00:14:28] world, when Trump came and said 10-10 times,
[00:14:32] 20-20 times about Operation Sindoor,
[00:14:36] what did the world media say about us,
[00:14:40] I don't need to say it, nor do I
[00:14:44] want to read it. The Prime Minister's late
[00:14:47] mother is respected by us, we all respect
[00:14:51] her. Look, listen, every
[00:14:54] mother in the country, all the mothers of
[00:14:58] 140 crore Indians are respectable, honored and
[00:15:01] revered for us. Nobody made any special comment
[00:15:07] the Prime Minister's mother. These people are masters
[00:15:10] at concocting stories. Dushyant ji, that
[00:15:14] is one incident, Dushyant ji, Dushyant ji, I would
[00:15:18] like to stop you. Nothing is fabricated.
[00:15:22] If a comedian from that stage says, give
[00:15:25] a chair to mother, tell me, for a
[00:15:28] middle-aged woman, Dushyant ji, listen to the question,
[00:15:32] then answer. For a middle-aged woman, if
[00:15:36] there is no place to sit in
[00:17:01] the crowd, how would you address her? Would you say mother or would you say this and start laughing? I don't think saying, give
[00:17:05] a chair to mother, is disrespectful. As for the
[00:17:09] second thing they said, that we are winning elections
[00:17:12] after elections, well, the candidate who was ours
[00:17:16] in SIR, fought as an independent.
[00:17:19] Let me give you another
[00:17:39] side there. A senior journalist from a big
[00:17:43] channel, from the top three big channels, said
[00:17:47] that Rahul Gandhi was directly managing the DUSU election,
[00:17:50] from distributing chocolates in colleges to poster campaigns,
[00:17:54] everything was being looked after. But I said,
[00:17:57] Gen Z, or youth, or Alpha, everyone understands,
[00:18:01] they have woken up now. Prime Minister Modi ji started
[00:18:05] his 2013 election campaign from Shri Ram College
[00:18:37] of Commerce and after that, he has continuously been
[00:18:41] discussing examinations. Shekhar Sahab, Shekhar Sahab, it was
[00:18:44] also seen on this platform that one or
[00:18:48] two students who praised the existing education system,
[00:18:52] Rahul Gandhi became a little uncomfortable. So,
[00:18:56] when Rahul Gandhi is interacting with students, does it
[00:19:01] Gandhi is not making a very honest effort
[00:19:04] in that too? Do you feel that along
[00:19:07] with the lack of political maturity, if you
[00:19:11] have to interact with Gen Z, Alpha,
[00:19:15] youth, whatever category they are placed in, on such
[00:19:19] platforms, then you need to come prepared and
[00:19:22] discuss on an intellectual platform? Now you
[00:19:25] cannot do politics just by telling jokes. Ritu
[00:19:28] ji, I don't understand, who is writing the
[00:19:32] script for Congress? Today, Dushyant Nagar ji, our
[00:19:36] good friend, is defending them, that is also
[00:19:39] his job, a challenge too, but who is
[00:19:43] writing such a script for Congress? Look, you
[00:19:46] have presented the Congress's point of view, put
[00:19:49] forward your alternative vision, but what are we
[00:19:53] seeing here? A comedy show is going on.
[00:19:57] Look, this comedy is not benefiting Congress,
[00:20:01] because ever since this 'Gunj' of students happened,
[00:20:04] first in the Punjab University elections, we lost
[00:20:08] in the Students' Council elections, now this has
[00:20:11] happened in Delhi University, now your results are
[00:20:15] not coming and we know that there is
[00:20:18] a lot of questioning going on within Congress
[00:20:22] regarding this, because Kanhaiya Kumar, who is very
[00:20:25] close to Congress, was in charge, we are
[00:20:29] hearing that he was asked how the candidate
[00:20:32] selection happened, what happened? Shekhar Sahab, from Parliament
[00:20:36] to outside, Shekhar Sahab, speaking on all issues
[00:20:39] inside Parliament and outside on such platforms, do
[00:20:43] you think Rahul Gandhi is finding his presence
[00:20:47] challenging now, because Congress seems to be devoid of
[00:20:51] issues when it does such acts, where comedians
[00:20:54] will be called, people will laugh, on the
[00:20:58] country's diplomacy, politics, foreign policy, on the
[00:21:01] Prime Minister's entire gestures, on the Prime Minister's
[00:21:05] mother, you will make any vulgar comment about
[00:21:09] the women of the country and then you
[00:21:13] will smile. So, does Congress seem to be
[00:21:17] devoid of issues in brief, Shekhar Sahab,
[00:21:20] because then I will hand over to Dushyant
[00:21:24] Nagar, I think now Rahul Gandhi's challenge
[00:21:28] is Rahul Gandhi himself. Many leaders of Congress
[00:21:31] party feel that by doing this, the party
[00:21:35] is not going to achieve anything, nothing is
[00:21:39] happening, and at the same time, you are
[00:21:42] seeing their allies also condemning it. You just
[00:21:46] showed the bat, showed Shiv Sena, the leader
[00:21:50] of Uddhav Thackeray is also condemning it. Many
[00:21:53] of their allied parties are also saying, what
[00:21:56] kind of politics is this? What kind of
[00:21:59] opposition politics is this? Because it will
[00:22:03] also damage them if they see it as
[00:22:06] India Alliance. So, Ritu ji, Dushyant ji,
[00:22:11] now just making fun of Prime Minister Narendra
[00:22:14] Modi on all platforms will not get votes.
[00:22:18] Logical बात should be
[00:22:31] done, a political maturity should be seen, Dushyant ji, before you answer, I am putting five big questions before you that were asked from this platform, I would like to know from you what the truth is about them. The MPPSC recruitment was
[00:22:35] based on the 87.13 formula. Rahul Gandhi
[00:22:38] claimed that 4 lakh posts are vacant,
[00:22:41] pending, and the truth is that the matter
[00:22:45] started in 2019 with a 27%
[00:22:48] OBC reservation increase.
[00:22:59] Appointments continued on 27% posts, only 10,000
[00:23:03] posts were affected by this legal tangle. What
[00:23:07] would you say, because there are four such
[00:23:10] big issues that have been raised by Rahul
[00:23:14] Gandhi? The truth is that Rahul ji
[00:23:18] speaks the truth,
[00:23:50] speaks correctly, speaks logically, speaks factually, speaks
[00:23:53] for the benefit of the youth. He speaks
[00:23:57] about issues related to the youth. The 27%
[00:24:00] OBC reservation is constitutional. In BJP-ruled states,
[00:24:04] it is not being given, so do not
[00:24:08] talk about it. Talk about OBC reservation.
[00:24:11] Okay, you talked about OBC reservation, Dushyant
[00:24:15] ji, so listen to the question. Rahul Gandhi
[00:24:18] had asked this question,
[00:24:50] but the BJP government stopped it citing the
[00:24:53] court. This is
[00:24:55] what Rahul Gandhi says. What is the truth?
[00:24:59] It was implemented during Kamal Nath government's tenure
[00:25:02] on March 19, 2019. The government
[00:25:54] issued this notification in a hurry without understanding
[00:25:57] the legal aspects, after which the court stopped
[00:26:00] college admissions.
[00:27:59] against the Bhagwant Mann government is in full swing.
[00:28:03] On Sunday, the third phase of the 'Drug-Free
[00:28:07] Punjab Yatra' began from Fazilka. Union Minister
[00:28:11] Arjun Ram Meghwal flagged off the yatra. He shared
[00:28:14] the pain of drug-affected families and appealed not
[00:28:18] to link this issue with politics. The Governor
[00:28:20] of Punjab also
[00:28:23] called for a public movement against drug addiction.
[00:28:25] The BJP's major campaign against drug
[00:28:29] addiction in Punjab, the third phase of the
[00:28:32] 'Drug-Free Punjab Yatra' began in Fazilka on
[00:28:36] Sunday. The third phase of this yatra started
[00:28:39] from Sadiki, Fazilka on Sunday. Union Law
[00:28:43] Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal flagged off the yatra.
[00:28:47] Before the main program, the Union Minister reached
[00:28:50] the historic 1971 war memorial in Asafwala. There,
[00:28:54] he paid tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed
[00:28:57] their lives for the country. After this, he
[00:29:01] talked to the victims of drug addiction and
[00:29:05] shared their pain. Targeting CM Bhagwant Mann, he
[00:29:09] said that such a system has been created in the
[00:29:12] state that action is being taken against those who
[00:29:16] report about drug addiction. Union Minister Shivraj Singh
[00:29:19] Chauhan said that the Bhagwant Mann government has
[00:29:22] completely failed to solve this problem. The system
[00:29:26] that the Chief Minister has created in Punjab
[00:29:29] is not to eradicate drug addiction, it has
[00:29:33] become one that promotes drug addiction. If someone
[00:29:36] informed the police that drugs are being sold
[00:29:40] in this village, action was taken against him.
[00:29:43] The police also got
[00:29:46] involved in it. Drug addiction has ruined many
[00:29:48] families, destroyed the lives
[00:29:52] of many young people. The Aam Aadmi Party
[00:29:56] government of Punjab
[00:29:58] has completely failed in solving this problem,
[00:30:02] and therefore the time has come
[00:30:06] for the people of Punjab to
[00:30:10] fight a decisive battle against drug
[00:30:13] addiction. The Union Minister said that the
[00:30:17] BJP's 'Drug-Free Punjab Yatra' should not be
[00:30:20] viewed through political glasses. He said that only by eradicating
[00:30:24] drug addiction can we make Punjab
[00:30:28] developed. Today's yatra
[00:30:31] is 'Drug-Free Punjab', we will work to
[00:30:35] take Punjab forward. Some people are
[00:30:38] viewing this through political glasses, this
[00:30:42] yatra is not a subject to be
[00:30:45] viewed through political glasses. Governor Gulab
[00:30:49] Chand Kataria also appealed to the people
[00:30:53] to unite against the problem of
[00:30:57] drugs. It is the collective responsibility
[00:31:00] of all of us
[00:31:03] if we want to save the
[00:31:06] coming generation and make Punjab a
[00:31:10] vibrant Punjab. In this, there is
[00:31:13] no party, caste etc., it is
[00:31:17] necessary for everyone. And I have always
[00:31:21] said that all of us should
[00:31:24] join the public in this. This
[00:31:28] movement should not be a movement
[00:31:31] of a party or an individual, but
[00:31:35] a mass movement. The fourth and
[00:31:39] final phase of the yatra will
[00:31:42] begin from Talwandi Sabo in Bathinda
[00:31:45] on September 21. Union Minister Shivraj
[00:31:49] Singh Chauhan and Haryana Chief Minister
[00:31:54] will flag it off. On September 18, BJP President Niti
[00:31:58] Naveen launched the first phase of the yatra from Pathankot. The second phase of the yatra was started by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on September 19 from Fatehgarh Sahib and will cover all 117 assembly constituencies of the state. Under this mega campaign, a distance of about four thousand kilometers will be covered. The yatra will conclude on September 30 in Jalandhar, which will be addressed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Gurmeet Singh's report with bureau input DD News. And in News Night, it's time for a short break, news will continue after the break, the Drug-Free Punjab Yatra of the Bharatiya Janata Party began today as the third yatra in Fazilka. After the break, we will talk about employment.

[00:33:17] a new picture of changing India is presented.
[00:33:21] Watch 'Next Generation India' with us every Monday to
[00:33:24] Friday at 2:30 PM only on DD News.
[00:33:28] When the country asks
[00:33:30] for answers, it has to answer.
[00:33:34] At 5 PM, the bell of questions rings, and
[00:33:38] the panchayat is held where issues are not postponed
[00:33:41] and no answer remains incomplete. You feel so bad about the question,
[00:33:45] I'll ask it in a different way. I'll ask it in a different way.
[00:33:49] Here, arguments don't resonate, but truth does.
[00:33:52] I am Reema Parashar, bringing the truth of the country
[00:33:55] to you.
[00:34:08] Where it's not about words, but arguments that are tested.
[00:34:10] Here, it's not rumors, but facts that are scrutinized.
[00:34:15] Here, it's not just news, but
[00:34:17] evidence is provided.
[00:34:20] Know everything
[00:34:23] that is hidden
[00:34:27] This is the whole truth, because nothing is
[00:34:30] bigger
[00:34:38] than the truth. Before the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, political
[00:34:42] rhetoric has intensified. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, during
[00:34:45] an event organized in Lucknow, strongly targeted the opposition.
[00:34:49] While distributing appointment letters to candidates selected in police recruitment,
[00:34:52] CM Yogi accused the governments before 2017
[00:34:56] of nepotism in the recruitment process.
[00:34:59] He also said that after 2017, the picture of the state
[00:35:02] has changed, and Uttar Pradesh is continuously moving forward on the path of development.
[00:35:05] Uttar
[00:35:07] Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath
[00:35:10] once again launched a fierce attack on his opponents. After distributing
[00:35:13] appointment letters to the candidates selected by the Uttar Pradesh Police
[00:35:17] Recruitment and Promotion Board in Lucknow,
[00:35:21] he made rapid attacks. CM Yogi alleged that
[00:35:25] before 2017, problems like nepotism
[00:35:28] had affected the system in the state.
[00:35:31] Earlier, there used to be riots in UP, and curfews would be imposed
[00:35:35] for many days, which used to tarnish UP's image.
[00:35:39] But after 2017,
[00:35:43] UP's image has changed,
[00:35:45] and now UP is continuously moving forward on the path of development.
[00:35:48] Nepotism was so entrenched in the entire system
[00:35:52] that no one could even
[00:35:55] imagine transparency and integrity there.
[00:35:58] And
[00:36:00] when there are inconsistencies and discrimination
[00:36:03] in the recruitment process itself, then where will the trust come from?
[00:36:06] In the program organized in Lucknow, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath
[00:36:09] distributed appointment letters to the candidates
[00:36:13] selected through the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion
[00:36:17] Board's selection process. When a qualified candidate
[00:36:21] is selected transparently and fairly
[00:36:24] through an examination, then
[00:36:28] the selection process becomes
[00:36:32] a symbol
[00:36:35] of
[00:36:40] trust not
[00:36:43] only for the family
[00:36:44] of
[00:36:47] an individual,
[00:36:50] but also for the government
[00:36:53] and the common man. CM Yogi said that
[00:36:57] before 2017, he had seen the system in Uttar Pradesh
[00:37:00] very closely and had also experienced
[00:37:04] it. He said that at that time, they had felt
[00:37:08] the despair and frustration
[00:37:11] among the youth regarding the discrepancies in the recruitment process.
[00:37:14] At that time, there was a lack of willpower to do something.
[00:37:18] Regarding the process, not one day,
[00:37:21] but several rounds of presentations were given
[00:37:24] to me. Then we would amend it. Then we would call experts,
[00:37:28] and then when it was finally
[00:37:31] decided, we said that the recruitment process
[00:37:35] would be like this. Amidst the political stir regarding the upcoming
[00:37:38] assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, accusations,
[00:37:42] counter-accusations, and retaliations are ongoing
[00:37:45] from both sides. Bureau Report DD
[00:37:48] News.
[00:37:51] And now it's time for a short break. After the break, we will talk about major action
[00:37:55] on Rohingya settlements in Jammu. A lot has changed,
[00:40:44] against Rohingya settlements in the Narwal area of Jammu.
[00:40:47] After notices were issued to plot owners,
[00:40:50] many families have started removing their temporary shanties
[00:40:54] and shops. According to reports, some have been instructed
[00:40:57] to vacate within the stipulated time. This action
[00:41:01] comes amidst a review of issues related to demographic change
[00:41:04] in Jammu. In these places, the administration or police
[00:41:08] have not directly demolished these temporary structures with bulldozers,
[00:41:12] but after notices were issued to the land owners,
[00:41:16] the people living there have started removing their temporary structures
[00:41:19] and vacating the place.
[00:41:21] The DD News team is currently
[00:41:23] present in the Talab area located in Narwal, Jammu,
[00:41:27] which used to be a Rohingya settlement until yesterday, and today,
[00:41:31] after the government order, the work of vacating this Rohingya
[00:41:35] settlement has started. You can see in the pictures that
[00:41:39] the large shops that were started here by Rohingyas
[00:41:42] have now been completely vacated. And you can continuously
[00:41:46] see that the temporary sheds that were also built here
[00:41:50] are being completely dismantled, and the shifting
[00:41:53] is continuously being done from here. We will try to show you here. You can see
[00:41:57] how continuously a Rohingya settlement that was settled in this area
[00:42:01] is now appearing to be completely empty. Let us tell you that last month,
[00:42:05] in the starting of August, a high-level committee
[00:42:09] had visited Jammu and Kashmir,
[00:42:12] the Demographic Change Committee, which was formed by the central government, and it had also
[00:42:16] visited this area. After that, this is the first action. You can see
[00:42:19] here that continuously, many people
[00:42:23] who had come from different areas
[00:42:27] and settled here, and the information is that
[00:42:31] according to government figures, more than 7,000 Rohingyas are settled in different areas
[00:42:34] of Jammu and Kashmir. And if we talk about unofficial figures, it tells a much
[00:42:38] higher number. In such a situation, the action that was somehow
[00:42:42] taken by the administration is also being seen here,
[00:42:46] and there are some people who are settled here. We will talk to them. What is your name,
[00:42:49] Baba? Dil Mohammad. Where are you from? We are from
[00:42:53] Burma. When did you come here? I came here
[00:42:57] in 2010. Okay, so were you living here and what
[00:43:01] order did you get here? I was living here for so many days. No order
[00:43:04] came. I was living on their land
[00:43:07] by paying rent. Okay, they also gave us a place
[00:43:11] out of humanity when we came here after
[00:43:15] facing so much. So now a declaration came
[00:43:19] here. Yes, last month, a declaration came. So
[00:43:22] they did not enter here and went through the road.
[00:43:26] After they left, the government called
[00:43:29] the owner. We don't know what they said to the owner.
[00:43:33] They came from there and said that you people should leave from here. So clearly,
[00:43:36] an action has started completely,
[00:43:40] the continuous action that is being taken,
[00:43:44] and the process of vacating the Rohingya
[00:43:47] settlement that was settled here
[00:43:51] for DD News, Rajat Dora from Jammu. So
[00:43:54] there was a presence of Rohingya families in Jammu city
[00:43:58] and surrounding areas. The presence of Rohingya
[00:44:01] families was recorded around Narwal, Bhatindi, Sunjwan,
[00:44:04] and Bahu Fort. Rohingya families have also been reported
[00:44:08] in areas like Laddakhi Colony, Upper Thatthar, Poonch
[00:44:12] Colony, Guda Brahmana, and Chinoor. According to official
[00:44:16] figures, there are about 6500 Myanmar-origin
[00:44:20] people in Jammu district. According to some reports, the number of Rohingyas
[00:44:23] and Bangladeshi nationals in Jammu is about 13,700.
[00:44:27] This increase in the number of Rohingyas was recorded
[00:44:31] between 2008 and 2014.
[00:44:33] The central government is continuously monitoring the issue of Rohingyas
[00:44:36] and demographic change. The issue of Rohingya
[00:44:40] settlements in Jammu is now also under the scanner of the high-level
[00:44:44] committee of the center. In August, the committee formed by the center
[00:44:48] visited Jammu. The committee met senior officials
[00:44:51] of the administration and police. It also interacted with various
[00:44:55] social and community organizations and visited the Rohingya
[00:44:59] settlement on the spot. The committee inspected
[00:45:02] the Rohingya settlement located in Narwal and took information
[00:45:06] and suggestions from various parties regarding demographic changes. It's time for a short break.
[00:45:12] After the break, the news will continue. Keep watching
[00:45:16] DD News.
[00:45:26] Every morning, a new beginning,
[00:45:29] talking about the growing India day and night.
[00:45:33] News from around the world that is important for you,
[00:45:35] trustworthy.
[00:45:39] And
[00:48:22] some other organizations have expressed strong objection.
[00:48:26] Political rhetoric has intensified
[00:48:29] over a statement made by former Vice President Hamid Ansari.
[00:48:32] In the A.G. Noorani Memorial Lecture, he quoted an old
[00:48:36] statement by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Hamid Ansari had said,
[00:48:40] quoting Pandit Nehru in his speech, that the threat to India
[00:48:43] is not communism, but Hindu right-wing
[00:48:47] communalism. He had clarified
[00:48:50] that he was saying this based on the reference
[00:48:54] in A.G. Noorani's book published in 2019.
[00:48:57] After his statement, voices of protest intensified.
[00:49:01] Leaders associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party and Vishwa Hindu Parishad
[00:49:05] and the All India Imam Organization raised questions.
[00:49:08] They are speaking in such a language that
[00:49:12] Muslim society is getting angry with his statement. He should
[00:49:16] know that for the Muslims of India, there is no better
[00:49:19] country than India, no better friend than Hindu, and no better
[00:49:23] leader. Today, the country is on the path of progress,
[00:49:26] on the path of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas'.
[00:49:30] I strongly condemn the statement made by Mr. Hamid Ansari
[00:49:33] regarding Muslims. Mr. Hamid Ansari,
[00:49:37] today, the way he wants to play
[00:49:40] politics in the name of Muslims, when he was in high
[00:49:43] positions, he did not remember Muslims.
[00:49:47] Today, he remembers Muslims. If Hindu was communal,
[00:49:51] if Hindu was fundamentalist, then Hamid
[00:49:54] Ansari would not have dared to say
[00:49:57] this. This is the same Hamid Ansari
[00:50:01] who once said that Muslims in India
[00:50:04] feel insecure. This is not the first time
[00:50:07] that former Vice President Hamid Ansari has been in the news
[00:50:11] for his statements. In an interview, he had said
[00:50:14] that among those who were called foreign invaders
[00:50:18] and plunderers in history books,
[00:50:21] including Mahmud Ghaznavi, he was actually
[00:50:24] an Indian plunderer. Hamid Ansari said that
[00:50:28] it is politically convenient to say that
[00:50:31] they destroyed this, they destroyed that, but
[00:50:35] they were all Indians. This video went viral
[00:50:39] on January 30, 2026. Even after the Balakot airstrike,
[00:50:42] Hamid Ansari had called it the right of the people to question
[00:50:46] the claims of action and had said that it is necessary
[00:50:49] to provide evidence in support of any claim.
[00:50:53] In August-September 2019, after the abrogation of Article 370,
[00:50:56] he had expressed apprehension that India's policy
[00:51:00] regarding Kashmir might face increasing international criticism.
[00:51:03] The government had called it a comment against
[00:51:06] national interest. During the CAA movement of 2019,
[00:51:10] he had called linking citizenship and religion against
[00:51:13] the spirit of the Constitution. In 2018, Hamid Ansari had said
[00:51:17] at an event in Delhi
[00:51:21] was responsible for the partition in 1947, but
[00:51:24] India was also responsible for it. He said that
[00:51:27] Muslims were blamed for the partition of the country due to political
[00:51:31] reasons. In December 2018, he had appealed
[00:51:34] to Muslims to be vocal instead of being afraid of their
[00:51:37] religious identity. In May 2016,
[00:51:41] during his visit to Iran, he had mentioned the feeling of insecurity among minorities,
[00:51:45] especially Muslims, in India.
[00:51:49] On these statements, objections and political reactions
[00:51:53] had come from the government and BJP at different times.
[00:51:56] Currently, Hamid Ansari's latest statement in the A.G. Noorani Memorial
[00:52:00] Lecture has once again intensified the political
[00:52:04] debate. Bureau Report DD News.
[00:52:07] And now, let's talk about India's dominance in the Asian Games.
[00:52:11] Indian shooter Sonam Maskar, who won a silver medal in the women's
[00:52:14] 10-meter air rifle team event, said that better preparation
[00:52:18] and ground-level support helped her reach the medal.
[00:52:22] Along with this, she said that not only has the atmosphere
[00:52:26] for sports changed in the country, but the sports ecosystem
[00:52:30] is also rapidly strengthening. DD News correspondent Gaurav Kumar
[00:52:33] had a special conversation with Sonam in Nagoya, Japan,
[00:52:37] about her success and other matters.
[01:00:37] Hello, you are watching DD News. I am Gaurav Srivastava with you. So let's start the bulletin
[01:00:41] and first take a look at today's headlines.
[01:00:43] Rahul Gandhi is again embroiled
[01:00:47] in controversy due to the uproar of students.
