[00:01:54] The Indie Block has suffered a major setback today before the march to the Supreme Court.
[00:01:58] The CJI has refused to meet them. CJI Suryakant
[00:02:02] had a special conversation with DG News correspondent Urvashi Khona
[00:02:11] decision, so that Delhiites opposition is marching today,
[00:02:14] they have asked for time from you. What will you say? I have already
[00:02:17] replied yesterday
[00:02:19] With cameraman Pramod that we do not deal
[00:02:22] Rajesh for News. with things on the administrative side, so I informed them
[00:02:24] yesterday in a letter with some reasons that
[00:02:28] a meeting is not possible. They are saying that they are facing a lot of injustice,
[00:02:32] that is why they have knocked on your doors, Justice, whoever has a complaint
[00:02:35] of injustice, should file a case in the court, the court will hear
[00:02:39] that matter according to the law and
[00:02:42] whatever right they have within the framework of the constitution
[00:02:46] in the legal system, we will definitely or otherwise, whatever the situation in Delhi,
[00:02:50] every citizen of India is entitled, so this was Justice Suryakant
[00:02:54] who told how he has given a letter
[00:02:57] to the opposition
[00:03:00] and cited reasons why he will not
[00:03:03] be able to give time. There is a procedure to reach the court,
[00:03:07] to reach out to the court, to reach out to the Supreme Court
[00:03:10] and they can reach out to the Supreme Court
[00:03:13] and the CJI under the same. With video journalist Lalit from Delhi,
[00:03:17] I am Urvashi Khona, for DD News. So, DD News
[00:03:19] correspondent Urvashi Khona spoke to the Chief Justice, in which
[00:03:23] he very clearly stated
[00:03:24] for these girls in this fight that a meeting at the administrative level is not possible.
[00:03:28] He said that through a letter, he gave reasons to the opposition.
[00:03:32] The Chief Justice replied to the letter written by the opposition,
[00:03:35] he also said that if there is a complaint of injustice, then come to the court.
[00:03:39] Any matter will be heard under the law.
[00:03:43] He also said that rights will be granted only within the framework
[00:03:46] of the constitution. Every citizen has the right to justice.
[00:03:50] The opposition, Congress and Indie Alliance, had written
[00:03:53] a letter to meet the Chief Justice, to which the Chief Justice
[00:03:57] gave a very clear reply. He said that the fixed procedure for reaching the court
[00:04:00] is the same for all parties under the law. Such a meeting
[00:04:04] at the administrative level cannot happen and he said that if there is any
[00:04:08] kind of complaint, then the doors of law, the doors of the court are open for everyone.
[00:04:12] Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on the attitude
[00:04:15] of the opposition that by creating disorder,
[00:04:19] beneficiaries today are not know that right? There is an MP of by creating anarchy, there is an attempt
[00:04:22] to put India's constitutional institutions in the dock.
[00:04:28] to make his entry is bothering the common people,
[00:04:31] by creating disorder,
[00:04:35] by creating anarchy,
[00:04:37] rather there is an insidious attempt
[00:04:40] to put India's constitutional institutions
[00:04:43] in the dock.
[00:04:44] to sanction projects worth a maximum It's surprising
[00:04:47] that if they
[00:04:50] win elections, it's their
[00:04:53] courage,
[00:04:56] and if they lose, the EVM is to blame. The people of Congress
[00:05:00] should
[00:05:04] change their leadership's incompetence,
[00:05:08] corruption,
[00:05:11] and distrust. They have
[00:05:14] given up
[00:05:18] on their
[00:05:18] leadership.
[00:05:23] Do not spread anarchy in India.
[00:05:26] Do not attempt to put India's constitutional institutions in the dock.
[00:05:30] करें
[00:05:33] And let us tell you that Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge along with
[00:05:37] opposition parties have announced a march to the Supreme Court today. Both
[00:05:41] leaders had sought time from Chief Justice Suryakant
[00:05:44] between 4 and 5 PM to submit a memorandum
[00:05:48] and present their demands. However, the CJI refused
[00:05:51] to meet, saying that such matters are already pending
[00:05:55] in the Supreme Court. He gave Rahul Gandhi the option
[00:05:59] to file a petition under the judicial process.
[00:06:02] The opposition's memorandum includes the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner
[00:06:06] Gyanesh Kumar, a stay on the special intensive revision
[00:06:10] of the voter list, i.e., SIR, and the demand for elections
[00:06:13] through ballot paper. Congress has named this march
[00:06:17] "Chalo Delhi March for Democracy". Before this, opposition parties
[00:06:21] had also submitted a memorandum
[00:06:24] to President Draupadi Murmu.
[00:06:27] So today, Congress and the Indie Alliance
[00:06:30] had sought time to meet the Chief Justice
[00:06:33] between 4 and 5 PM, and on that, the Chief
[00:06:37] Justice very clearly stated that this entire matter
[00:06:40] because the conversation that the opposition wants to have with the Chief Justice
[00:06:44] is exactly on those issues for which they had reached the President
[00:06:48] earlier with a memorandum, and this matter is currently
[00:06:51] pending in the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice very clearly stated that the matter
[00:06:55] is sub judice, the courts are open for everyone, everyone
[00:06:59] will get justice through the courts. Kumar Alok, our correspondent, has joined us. Kumar
[00:07:03] Alok, the Chief Justice made two things very clear
[00:07:06] to Congress and the Indie Alliance even before the march:
[00:07:10] why the meeting cannot happen at the administrative level,
[00:07:13] this entire matter is sub judice. Even after that, if Congress
[00:07:17] and the Indie Alliance are marching,
[00:07:29] of all, these people had written a letter,
[00:07:32] asked for time to meet the Chief Justice of India, and when the Chief Justice
[00:07:36] of India, it is being said that he refused to meet through a letter
[00:07:40] because the judiciary has its own
[00:07:43] separate place, and he said that if you were at an event
[00:07:47] this morning, he said to reporters that you
[00:07:51] come to court and file a petition, after that the court will give its decision,
[00:07:55] so regarding this, Rahul Gandhi had a press conference a little while ago here
[00:07:58] at the Congress headquarters Indira Bhawan, so there Rahul Gandhi said
[00:08:02] that we respect the court, we respect the CJI and keeping their
[00:08:06] guidelines in mind, today at 3 PM, all the MPs of our India alliance,
[00:08:10] all the prominent leaders will together
[00:08:14] file a petition in the Supreme Court against the Election Commission and
[00:08:18] the second most important thing is that their march now
[00:08:22] even though the India alliance is continuously marching here in Delhi,
[00:08:25] whether it is an attempt to reach Jantar Mantar or whether they went to Rajghat
[00:08:29] or whether it is a matter of staging a sit-in
[00:08:32] at the Election Commission, so their sit-ins and protests are continuing and
[00:08:36] the news we have received is that at 1 PM, the Constitution
[00:08:40] Club, all the MPs of the alliance will gather
[00:08:44] at the Constitution Club and at 1:30 PM, I am standing here at Barakhamba Road, which is
[00:08:48] near CP, the metro station, so from here the MPs
[00:08:50] will march towards the Supreme
[00:08:53] Court. Now we are seeing that the barricading
[00:08:57] that the administration had done yesterday or the day before
[00:09:00] is not as visible today, but special deployment
[00:09:04] of security forces has been done and now it remains to be seen
[00:09:08] when Rahul Gandhi along with the India alliance
[00:09:13] MPs will march from Barakhamba Road, how far the police will let them go.
[00:09:17] This will be a matter to watch, but we are seeing that the arrangements
[00:09:20] that the administration had made the day before yesterday,
[00:09:24] we are seeing a slight relaxation today because many protesters
[00:09:27] we are seeing that Youth Congress people are also gathering
[00:09:31] here, reaching Barakhamba Road, so perhaps the administration
[00:09:34] will allow them, will allow them to march,
[00:09:38] or will try to stop them somewhere
[00:09:39] regarding law and order.
[00:09:42] along with all the alliance partners, the partners of the India Alliance,
[00:09:46] Urvashi Khona is also with us. Urvashi Khona, a very important
[00:09:50] conversation you had with the Chief Justice, in which
[00:09:53] he very clearly stated that the matter is sub judice, the courts
[00:09:57] are open for everyone. How would you like to present
[00:10:00] that entire conversation? Exactly, if we look, the Chief Justice
[00:10:04] while talking to DD News, said that there is a process,
[00:10:08] there is a limit to the law and within that limit,
[00:10:11] whoever it is, any party, not just the opposition,
[00:10:15] any party,
[00:10:18] has to knock on the doors of the court through
[00:10:22] that process. Just writing a letter,
[00:10:26] and giving this intimation that they want to meet
[00:10:29] or are going to meet, this thing is somewhere
[00:10:33] not correct. This is what is being told,
[00:10:36] this is what the Chief Justice has told.
[00:10:40] He has also said that everyone in their own way
[00:10:43] can knock on the doors
[00:10:46] of the court and he has also
[00:10:50] told that he has written a letter to the opposition and
[00:10:54] in that letter he has given reasons
[00:10:57] why and how this whole matter
[00:11:00] or how he cannot give
[00:11:04] time and cannot meet. Now, even if the opposition
[00:11:08] is moving forward somewhere and continuing this march,
[00:11:11] then this can be understood as a political
[00:11:20] Justice made it very clear that he did not give time to meet,
[00:11:24] and also made other points, even after that, if Congress
[00:11:27] is giving such a call, are these double standards
[00:11:31] or should it be said that on the one hand, Rahul Gandhi held
[00:11:35] a press conference today, in which he showed
[00:11:39] how people are facing inconvenience, so now through this march,
[00:11:42] if all the Congress MPs and opposition party MPs
[00:11:46] march from Barakhamba Road to the Supreme Court at 3 PM,
[00:11:51] and all other things, traffic will be diverted,
[00:11:55] the biggest impact of which will be on the common public, so what is the objective
[00:11:58] of this march left?
[00:12:02] Today morning, Congress released a letter that they had written to the CJI in June,
[00:12:06] in which all the prominent leaders of the India Alliance
[00:12:09] had signed and they had requested to meet him.
[00:12:13] After that, today when Rahul Gandhi held a press conference,
[00:12:17] the journalists clearly asked that instead of meeting,
[00:12:20] the CJI had asked them to file a petition,
[00:12:23] so he said that he respects the CJI and respects the Supreme Court,
[00:12:27] and keeping their guidelines in mind,
[00:12:31] we will file a petition today at 3 PM and you can see that protesters are going
[00:12:34] but the police are letting them go and
[00:12:38] you can see, let me show you that protesters are going in large numbers
[00:12:41] here and the police are not stopping them. The people of the army, the paramilitary forces,
[00:12:45] are not stopping them, so perhaps the administration
[00:12:49] would have thought that they should be allowed
[00:12:52] to conduct a peaceful protest, but it remains to be seen that when
[00:12:55] the march starts, how far will it be able to reach,
[00:12:59] that is, will it be able to reach the Supreme Court or will it be stopped in the middle?
[00:13:02] This will be a matter to watch, but we are seeing that the situation
[00:13:06] the day before yesterday and yesterday,
[00:13:10] we are seeing a change in that situation and the administration
[00:13:12] seems a bit lenient to us right now, meaning they are letting them go.
[00:13:16] The protesters at the protest site,
[00:13:20] exactly, for the last 48 days, the protest has been causing a lot of problems in traffic,
[00:13:24] people even went to court regarding that, after that the Supreme Court
[00:13:28] also said that citizens should not face problems, the administration
[00:13:31] needs to pay attention to this. Alok, the judiciary,
[00:13:35] the legislature, the executive, their
[00:13:38] powers, their areas of work are very clearly
[00:13:41] defined in the constitution. In such a situation, when
[00:13:44] senior MPs including Rahul Gandhi, who have been MPs for a long time,
[00:13:48] if they take this whole matter, which
[00:13:52] is already in the court, the court
[00:13:55] is hearing it, and after questioning a constitutional
[00:13:59] institution by walking on the street in this way,
[00:14:03] now the Supreme Court's stance is such that if a letter was written
[00:14:07] to the Supreme Court and a reply came, then perhaps they should
[00:14:10] wait for the second hearing, so how do you view
[00:14:13] this as an MP's march, under their
[00:14:17] rights, all these MPs are marching?
[00:14:20] हैं
[00:14:23] Yes, you are absolutely right. In this way, you see that ever
[00:14:27] since a newspaper published a report about this, their
[00:14:31] morale has increased, especially Rahul Gandhi and the people
[00:14:34] of the India alliance, you can understand that for 10 days
[00:14:38] now, Delhi is completely disturbed. You must have seen
[00:14:41] that when the MPs were invited for lunch
[00:14:45] at a restaurant in Connaught Place and they were called for the Rajghat march,
[00:14:48] for two hours while they were having lunch, the whole of Delhi
[00:14:52] was in chaos in Connaught Place, and from Connaught Place
[00:14:55] itself, it is the gateway
[00:14:58] to New Delhi Railway Station, and on that day, at least 5,000
[00:15:02] passengers missed their trains. Apart from that, you can see that the working people,
[00:15:05] today is Monday, let's say yesterday was Sunday, so on Sunday, there are holidays
[00:15:09] in offices and shops, but here you can see
[00:15:13] that it is completely Monday
[00:15:16] and all offices are open, shops are open and how much trouble
[00:15:20] is being caused due to this protest, and this is main Delhi, Central Delhi, and here
[00:15:24] all the offices, government offices, if you look at Barakhamba Road,
[00:15:27] then all the main head offices of corporates
[00:15:31] are here on Barakhamba Road, so
[00:15:34] these people are facing a lot of trouble.
[00:15:37] And in the last 10 days, now it remains to be seen that on one hand, they want to keep this momentum
[00:15:41] heated, and on the other hand, the India Alliance is looking,
[00:15:45] whether it is Akhilesh Yadav in UP, elections are going to happen, elections
[00:15:49] are going to happen in Uttarakhand and in many other states, so they want
[00:15:53] to keep this matter heated and using this matter as a pretext,
[00:15:56] increase the strength of their party and try to convince the voters
[00:15:59] that this is a very big issue, you can see that once
[00:16:03] again I will tell the cameraman, please see how
[00:16:17] So, in such a situation, how appropriate it would be to drag constitutional institutions
[00:16:20] into one's politics, this is a matter to think about. Thank you very much,
[00:16:23] Urvashi Khona, and Alok, for joining us.
[00:16:27] Meanwhile, the hearing on the Indian Youth Congress's petition in the Delhi High Court,
[00:16:31] which was scheduled for today, has been postponed. The petition has challenged
[00:16:34] the Delhi Police's decision not to allow protests
[00:16:38] against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at Jantar Mantar.
[00:16:41] During the hearing, the ASG appearing
[00:16:45] till tomorrow to file a reply, after which the court adjourned the hearing
[00:16:49] till tomorrow. Now, the Delhi High Court will hear this matter tomorrow.
[00:16:53] करेगा
[00:16:59] And it's time for a short break on DePrime.
[00:17:01] का.
[00:17:07] So let's start the second part of investing.
[00:17:10] Two ones two, two twos
[00:17:14] four. Listen carefully, this is from Manthan
[00:17:17] Bharat. Investing made simple.
[00:17:21] Investing made simple. Investing simple.
[00:17:24] Investing simple. Investing simple.
[00:17:28] Investing simple. Investing simple.
[00:17:32] The whole of India is understanding investment because with understanding,
[00:17:36] investing is simple.
[00:18:11] The BJP's Mahila Morcha has started the Nari Shakti Hunkar movement.
[00:18:14] BJP has accused Congress and Rahul Gandhi
[00:18:17] of harboring the accused of sexual harassment
[00:18:21] against Congress MP Bimal Akoijam.
[00:18:25] On this issue, BJP Mahila Morcha workers are protesting
[00:18:29] from Delhi to Bengaluru.
[00:18:32] Protesters have demanded the immediate arrest of the MP
[00:18:36] and his suspension from Parliament.
[00:18:39] In Delhi, BJP Mahila Morcha is protesting near the Congress
[00:18:42] headquarters. Here too, protesters have demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi.
[00:18:46] BJP has alleged that the Congress leadership is silent
[00:18:49] on serious matters related to women's safety.
[00:18:53] हैं,
[00:18:55] Meanwhile, MP Vimol Akoijam has called the allegations against him
[00:18:58] baseless and politically motivated. An FIR has been registered
[00:19:02] in the matter.
[00:19:05] In Bengaluru, several protesters who were trying to march
[00:19:08] towards the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) office
[00:19:11] were detained by the police.
[00:19:25] students in the university, even the university committee
[00:19:29] decided to take him out from the dismiss from the university
[00:19:33] because they have no proof, they have a proof but even that Rahul
[00:19:37] Gandhi is telling about this, talking about Mahila Sashaktikaran and everything, he has
[00:19:41] not told anything in front of the media but is behind of
[00:19:45] all this. This is not correct, so we are all
[00:19:48] the committee from the BJP Mahila Karyakartas, what
[00:19:51] you did for the humans and that harassment, you
[00:19:56] the Congress party, so we are
[00:19:59] all decided to arrest him, we have not taken any action
[00:20:03] against him, so we are all BJP
[00:20:05] Karyakartas, Mahila Karyakartas.
[00:20:41] The National Mahila Morcha of the Bharatiya Janata Party
[00:20:43] has staged a protest against the Congress, who
[00:20:47] was a professor at JNU, Bimal.
[00:21:20] I can say, he had given this slogan, where
[00:21:23] did that slogan go today, when in the case of sexual harassment
[00:21:27] of 11 girls, his MP
[00:21:30] against whom a complaint was filed
[00:21:33] under the POCSO Act, he was found guilty
[00:21:37] by the Internal Committee, then JNU dismissed
[00:21:41] him, and even after that,
[00:21:44] till today, there has been no statement from Rahul Gandhi
[00:21:47] against that MP,
[00:21:50] nor has he sought any clarification from him,
[00:21:53] and the same situation is with Priyanka Gandhi ji,
[00:21:56] so because he is your MP,
[00:22:00] everything is forgiven for him, this double standard
[00:22:03] of yours, how long will it continue?
[00:22:07] You have always been against
[00:22:09] women, we can see that you have always
[00:22:12] been against women. What message does today's protest give?
[00:22:16] Exactly, today we want to give the message that the women
[00:22:50] of the country want to know why Congress is adopting
[00:22:53] a double standard and how long Priyanka Gandhi
[00:22:57] and Rahul Gandhi will remain silent against their MP.
[00:23:00] This question is indeed a big question, for which Annapurna Devi
[00:23:04] is seeking an answer from Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
[00:23:09] from Delhi, I am
[00:23:12] Rajesh has joined us.
[00:23:15] Rajesh, the Congress MP was a professor at JNU
[00:23:19] and was a professor in the School of Social Sciences, against whom serious allegations
[00:23:23] have been made. The JNU's Internal Committee has, in a way, confirmed
[00:23:26] these allegations. There are serious allegations of sexual harassment
[00:23:30] in exchange for increasing marks. Today, the Mahila Morcha is staging a big protest
[00:23:34] against the Congress headquarters, but this whole matter becomes bigger
[00:23:37] than any political matter, and in such a situation, when big slogans
[00:23:41] are given by political parties, these two big slogans of Congress,
[00:23:45] if we talk about them, which the Union Minister was also mentioning, "Ladki hoon,
[00:23:49] lad sakti hoon," smash the patriarchy, then today, regarding
[00:23:52] this matter, why has there been no comment or action
[00:24:07] Ritu, and the Bharatiya Janata Party's National Women's
[00:24:10] Front today, starting from ITO Gandhi
[00:24:14] Shanti Pratishthan, has marched to the Congress headquarters,
[00:24:17] Indira Bhavan, and on the roads there,
[00:24:20] we saw that at least more than 5,000
[00:24:24] workers of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Mahila Morcha
[00:24:27] have staged a strong protest and held a sit-in,
[00:24:31] and in one voice, they demanded that Priyanka Gandhi
[00:24:35] continuously says that "I am a girl, I can fight,"
[00:24:38] why is Priyanka Gandhi not answering? Why is Priyanka
[00:24:42] Gandhi not speaking? And this question
[00:24:45] is a big question, and you see that these
[00:24:48] women are now returning after the protest
[00:24:52] march. In large numbers,
[00:24:55] they are returning and somewhere a big
[00:24:59] message is being tried to be given, the MP of the Mahila Morcha,
[00:25:02] that MP was also present in large numbers, we saw
[00:25:06] Darshana Singh, former Minister of State for Railways, Darshana Jardosh,
[00:25:10] Annapurna Devi, Minister of Women and Child Development, she was there,
[00:25:14] we saw Bansuri Swaraj, Malavika Singh was there, Kamaljeet Sehrawat was there,
[00:25:17] Poonam Madam was there, in this way all the
[00:25:20] MPs of BJP also participated in this protest
[00:25:24] and an effigy of Rahul Gandhi was also burnt
[00:25:28] outside the Congress headquarters
[00:25:31] and a big message has been tried to be given
[00:25:35] that why does Congress adopt a double standard
[00:25:38] on issues like women's reservation bill or women's respect?
[00:25:42] Congress should open its mouth and Congress
[00:25:46] should talk. See how the workers of the Mahila Morcha
[00:25:50] have been detained by the police,
[00:25:54] they are being taken away and we can say
[00:25:57] that a large number, our cameraman Pramod will show
[00:26:01] you, as far as the eye can see,
[00:26:04] in large numbers, women, Rahul Gandhi, shame,
[00:26:08] Rahul Gandhi, shame, 11 daughters
[00:26:11] of JNU, daughters deserving justice,
[00:26:14] these women are taking out an anger march,
[00:26:18] protesting and asking Congress, Priyanka
[00:26:22] Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi this question, why are you silent
[00:26:26] on the issue of women? What does your silence
[00:26:29] on the issue of women say? Will they
[00:26:33] open their mouths and Bimal Oja on whom there are allegations
[00:26:37] of sexual harassment of female students,
[00:26:40] JNU has dismissed him, but the Congress party
[00:26:43] has not taken any action yet. Therefore, all the BJP
[00:26:47] MPs are demanding that when will Congress
[00:26:51] party dismiss Bimal Oja
[00:26:54] from the party, when will action be taken against him?
[00:26:57] This is a big question. Rajesh, these are very serious allegations
[00:27:01] against this MP, Bimol.
[00:27:05] In such a situation, what kind of action can be taken, because
[00:27:08] he is an MP, and given the continuous protest and the complaints
[00:27:11] made, the internal committee has already prepared its full report. So,
[00:27:15] what kind of action can be taken against him? Now Congress will also have
[00:27:19] to make a call that if you save this MP of yours,
[00:27:23] you will have to
[00:27:23] answer.
[00:27:30] Certainly, Ritu, it is a serious question that in a country
[00:27:34] where half of the population is talked about giving respect
[00:27:38] and honor, in a country where
[00:27:41] mothers and sisters are given the status of goddesses,
[00:27:45] if incidents of such misconduct with mothers
[00:27:48] and sisters come to light, then a big question arises,
[00:27:52] and the MPs of the Bharatiya Janata Party have raised this question, the workers have raised this question.
[00:27:56] that cases of sexual exploitation
[00:27:59] of girl students by luring them with higher marks
[00:28:03] have come to light. The news
[00:28:06] about 11-12 girl students
[00:28:10] has come to light. But Rupkumari Chaudhary,
[00:28:14] the national president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Mahila Morcha,
[00:28:18] said that if these layers
[00:28:21] are investigated, if an attempt
[00:28:24] is made to open these layers, then this number
[00:28:28] can definitely increase further. So the Congress
[00:28:31] definitely needs to think that a Member of Parliament
[00:28:35] against whom cases of sexual exploitation and misbehavior with women
[00:28:38] are registered, JNU has dismissed him,
[00:28:42] so the party should definitely issue a show-cause notice
[00:28:46] to him, suspend him and show him the way out
[00:28:49] of the party, because this is not
[00:28:53] a minor incident, the incident
[00:28:57] that is continuously in the news, the news that is making
[00:29:00] headlines, the Congress party cannot ignore that news.
[00:29:04] And women are constantly aggressive
[00:29:07] towards Priyanka Gandhi, saying that if it is a daughter,
[00:29:11] then she can fight, so why can't she speak up for justice?
[00:29:15] If Rahul Gandhi says that in a patriarchal
[00:29:18] society, there is a need to fight for the rights of girls
[00:29:22] and women, then he should come forward and fight
[00:29:27] and get them justice who have made very serious allegations
[00:29:31] against this professor who is a Member of Parliament
[00:29:34] from Manipur in Congress. JNU has dismissed him.
[00:29:38] The internal committee has found all those allegations to be true.
[00:29:42] Now everyone is watching what stand Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka
[00:29:45] Gandhi in Congress
[00:29:52] Although Congress is doing the politics of protests in Delhi,
[00:29:56] within the Indi alliance itself, voices of opposition
[00:30:00] to the Congress protest have started to intensify. AIMIM
[00:30:32] by creating anarchy,
[00:30:36] rather there is a mischievous attempt
[00:30:38] to put India's constitutional
[00:30:42] institutions in the dock. It is
[00:30:45] surprising that if
[00:30:48] they win
[00:30:52] elections, it's their
[00:30:55] valor, and if they lose, the EVM is to blame. Congress people
[00:30:59] should
[00:31:03] change their ineffective
[00:31:06] and corrupt
[00:31:10] leadership that has
[00:31:12] lost
[00:31:17] trust.
[00:31:17] Don't spread
[00:31:22] anarchy in India. Don't make
[00:31:25] any mischievous attempt
[00:31:29] to put India's constitutional institutions in the dock.
[00:31:33] The Supreme Court itself said that protesting is your right.
[00:31:36] They will protest and they should. As far as the law
[00:31:40] for the selection of Election Commissioner and SIR is concerned,
[00:31:43] we are saying that both should be abolished. I have nothing to do with it.
[00:31:47] I am not a part of it. How can I comment on it?
[00:31:50] I cannot say anything about it. It's their program, let them do it.
[00:31:54] Meanwhile, in Uttar Pradesh, political rhetoric
[00:31:57] seems to be intensifying ahead of the 2027 assembly elections.
[00:32:00] Amidst the discussion of electoral challenge
[00:32:04] between Yogi Adityanath and Akhilesh Yadav
[00:32:07] that started from Ayodhya, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi
[00:32:11] has also openly challenged both leaders. Owaisi has challenged
[00:32:15] Yogi Adityanath to contest from Sambhal and Akhilesh Yadav
[00:32:18] from Gorakhpur in Azamgarh. He has also claimed to take
[00:32:22] the responsibility of defeating both leaders. In Uttar Pradesh,
[00:32:26] political rhetoric is intensifying
[00:32:29] before the 2027 assembly elections. This statement of Asaduddin
[00:32:32] Owaisi can be seen as an attempt
[00:32:36] to stake his political claim in Uttar Pradesh
[00:32:40] before the 2027 assembly elections. By challenging the top leaders
[00:32:43] of both BJP and Samajwadi Party, Asaduddin Owaisi
[00:32:47] has given a political message regarding the role of his party.
[00:32:51] In such a situation, the question is whether new political
[00:32:54] equations are being formed in Uttar Pradesh politics? Is Asaduddin
[00:32:58] Owaisi looking for
[00:32:59] his own separate political base in UP?
[00:33:04] Baba is telling Akhilesh, come to Ayodhya,
[00:33:07] Owaisi is telling Baba, come
[00:33:10] to Sambhal!
[00:33:45] increases it. With an eye on Muslim votes,
[00:33:49] Asaduddin Owaisi is directly challenging
[00:33:52] Akhilesh Yadav by challenging him in the political
[00:33:55] stronghold of the Samajwadi Party, because Asaduddin Owaisi
[00:33:59] is talking about staking a claim to Muslim leadership.
[00:34:03] If votes are divided, the math can change.
[00:34:06] This will be a bigger concern for Akhilesh Yadav and Rahul
[00:34:10] Gandhi. What Asaduddin Owaisi has said in the Uttar Pradesh elections,
[00:34:14] both leaders are also working on a strategy of pressure in the alliance.
[00:34:17] The challenge of seats beyond the statement is next, because
[00:34:21] talks are ongoing between Akhilesh Yadav and Rahul Gandhi,
[00:34:25] i.e., between Congress and Samajwadi Party, regarding seat sharing.
[00:34:28] Asaduddin Owaisi himself has not contested the assembly or Lok Sabha elections
[00:34:32] from Uttar Pradesh. According to available electoral records,
[00:34:35] his own constituency has been Hyderabad. However,
[00:34:38] his party AIMIM has been contesting elections in UP.
[00:34:42] In 2017, AIM contested elections on 38 assembly seats,
[00:34:46] but did not win any seat. While in 2022,
[00:34:50] Asaduddin Owaisi's party fielded candidates in the Uttar Pradesh
[00:34:53] assembly elections, but could not win any seat.
[00:34:57] So the question is whether Asaduddin Owaisi,
[00:35:01] who challenges others to contest elections in UP, will
[00:35:04] himself contest from Uttar Pradesh this time?
[00:35:07] Why doesn't he contest elections from UP? So many questions
[00:35:11] have emerged for Asaduddin Owaisi himself after this statement.
[00:35:15] The question for Asaduddin Owaisi is why only challenge others?
[00:35:18] From where will he contest himself? Why doesn't he contest elections
[00:35:22] from Uttar Pradesh once? How many seats
[00:35:25] did he claim in 2027? And there is a very clear
[00:35:28] message for Akhilesh Yadav from Asaduddin Owaisi's
[00:35:31] question that why only challenge others?
[00:35:35] Vikas Singh has joined us on this news.
[00:35:39] Vikas, Asaduddin Owaisi is about
[00:35:43] into the Uttar Pradesh elections with a new political trick,
[00:35:47] or rather, before the 2027 elections. This time not just
[00:35:51] on seats, but this time with statements. So first of all, whose
[00:35:54] concerns do these statements raise regarding the Uttar Pradesh
[00:35:57] elections?
[00:36:01] See, if we understand the political equation
[00:36:04] of Uttar Pradesh, then Owaisi
[00:36:08] does politics of Muslims, he talks about the rights of Muslims.
[00:36:12] Vikas, we would like to stop you, Vikas, we will talk
[00:36:15] to you about this issue, but before that, let me tell our viewers the big news.
[00:36:19] A big decision has come regarding the places
[00:36:23] of protest and dharna in Delhi. Delhi Police
[00:36:26] has removed Jantar Mantar from the list
[00:36:29] of protest sites. Jantar Mantar
[00:36:33] has now been removed from the list of protest sites.
[00:36:36] Three new places, three new
[00:36:39] sites have been designated for dharnas and protests in Delhi.
[00:36:43] What are those sites? Ramlila Maidan,
[00:36:46] Burari and CBD
[00:36:50] sites for dharnas and protests. Delhi Police
[00:36:53] Commissioner has issued this standing order now.
[00:36:56] For the last 10 to 15 days, there has been a kind of commotion
[00:37:00] in the entire Delhi. A separate SOP
[00:37:02] will be issued
[00:37:05] for the new protest sites. A big decision has been taken
[00:37:09] regarding protest sites in Delhi. Jantar Mantar has been removed
[00:37:12] from the protest site. However, Delhi Police has given
[00:37:15] three new sites for protest,
[00:37:20] which include Ramlila Maidan, Burari
[00:37:24] guidelines and SOP will be issued separately
[00:37:27] for these newly designated sites very soon.
[00:37:30] CBD Ground, Ramlila Maidan, Burari, so that when
[00:37:34] protesters protest against the government
[00:37:37] or in favor of the government or any kind of protest, at least the common
[00:37:41] public will not face inconvenience. Patients will be able to reach hospitals.
[00:37:45] Passengers will be able to reach railway stations. Passengers
[00:37:47] will be able to reach airports. People will not miss their exams.
[00:37:51] People will not miss their trains. People will reach their destinations
[00:37:55] because for the last 12 days, we have seen that in Delhi,
[00:37:59] whether it is political protests or protests by various organizations,
[00:38:03] due to these protests, the common public has faced
[00:38:06] the most inconvenience. Considering this, a big decision
[00:38:10] has been taken. Jantar Mantar, which is in Lutyens' Delhi,
[00:38:13] right in the center of Delhi,
[00:38:17] stations or hospitals, people are facing inconvenience
[00:38:20] to go everywhere. Therefore, three new sites
[00:38:24] have now been designated for dharna and protest. Delhi Police Commissioner
[00:38:28] has just issued this standing order. A separate SOP will be issued
[00:38:31] soon for these new guidelines for protest sites.
[00:38:35] But this big
[00:38:38] and people coming from outside do not face any kind of inconvenience,
[00:38:42] keeping this in mind, the Delhi Commissioner has taken a big decision.
[00:38:46] This standing order has just come that Jantar Mantar
[00:38:48] is now out of the list of protest sites. Divyanshu has joined us.
[00:38:52] Divyanshu, this decision is bringing great relief
[00:38:56] to all those people who have been facing great difficulty
[00:39:00] in commuting in Delhi for the last 10 days, whether it is due to metro
[00:39:04] stations being closed, or road traffic being stopped,
[00:39:07] or rail traffic being stopped, all passengers travelling by air
[00:39:11] were being greatly affected. See, absolutely, Ritu ji, you said
[00:39:15] it right, because for a long time, Jantar Mantar
[00:39:18] was on the list of protest sites, and for a long time, we have been seeing
[00:39:22] people protesting at Jantar Mantar. But the way we have been seeing
[00:39:26] in the last few days that due to protests, the law
[00:39:30] and order situation was deteriorating and the entire New Delhi area
[00:39:34] used to get completely traffic jammed. People used to face a lot of difficulties,
[00:39:37] and this is why the Union Home Ministry had formed
[00:39:41] a committee, and that committee has given
[00:39:45] a recommendation to the Delhi Police that protests can be held here,
[00:39:48] after which the Delhi Police Commissioner has officially issued
[00:39:52] a standing order in which Jantar Mantar has been removed
[00:39:56] from the list of protest sites. Apart from this, three more
[00:39:59] places have been told where you can protest.
[00:40:03] The first name on the list is Burari Ground,
[00:40:06] the second is CBD Ground, which is in East Delhi, and the third
[00:40:10] is Ramlila Ground. So these are three protest sites
[00:40:20] you should have a written permission, only then can you do it.
[00:40:24] But it is obvious that now at Jantar Mantar,
[00:40:28] in the coming time, if any polluter reaches or a procession reaches,
[00:40:32] legal action will be taken against them.
[00:40:36] Divyanshu, this big decision has been taken, and the way we have been seeing
[00:40:39] in the recent past, why is this decision considered important even
[00:40:43] keeping law and order in mind? That is, in what
[00:40:47] sense is this decision important in view
[00:40:50] of the protests that have been happening for the last few days?
[00:40:54] See, absolutely, Jantar Mantar is located in the New Delhi area,
[00:40:58] it is the center of Delhi, and at Jantar Mantar, we see
[00:41:02] that there are several ministries within a few kilometers,
[00:41:05] not even meters, important sites and big personalities come here,
[00:41:09] so we can say that if protests happen here, the law and order situation
[00:41:12] deteriorates, and traffic jams happen,
[00:41:16] and other things get disrupted. And this is why
[00:41:20] the Home Ministry had formed this committee, with the thought
[00:41:23] that if we designate another site,
[00:41:27] then at least there will be no protests in the New Delhi area,
[00:41:31] and people will not face such difficulties. And this is why the committee
[00:41:35] has given its recommendation, and has told three important
[00:41:38] places to the Delhi Police that you can designate
[00:41:42] protest sites there by issuing a standing order.
[00:41:45] And this is why the Delhi Police Commissioner has designated
[00:41:48] these three protest sites. If we talk about Burari Ground,
[00:41:52] it is near the Outer Ring Road. There is plenty of space there.
[00:41:56] A large number of protesters can reach there. Apart from this,
[00:42:00] there is also a lot of space in CBD Ground. We have seen protests happening
[00:42:03] in Ramlila Ground for a long time. So these are three important sites.
[00:42:07] If protests happen here, then obviously the law
[00:42:11] and order situation will not deteriorate much. Keeping
[00:42:22] site for a long time. That is, we can say
[00:42:25] that it has been seen this way for 30-40 years.
[00:42:29] But what was the main reason for taking such a big decision?
[00:42:33] We are seeing that the protests that are happening now at Jantar
[00:42:36] Mantar and the protests that used to happen before, is there any difference
[00:42:40] between the two? Because protests used to happen before also,
[00:42:43] but it did not seem that the common public faced so much inconvenience
[00:42:47] due to those protests. See, absolutely, Ritu ji, you said it right.
[00:42:51] We have been covering protests at Jantar Mantar for a long time.
[00:42:54] However, at the protest site there, there cannot be
[00:42:58] too much gathering. Max to max, if around a thousand people
[00:43:02] gather there and protest peacefully, then there is no question of
[00:43:06] law and order situation, and there is no traffic problem.
[00:43:10] But for the last few days, we are seeing such protests
[00:43:13] that are disrupting traffic, deteriorating the law and order situation,
[00:43:17] and this is why the Union Home Ministry was forced
[00:43:21] to form such a committee. And there has been a lot of change
[00:43:25] in the protests that are happening now. You said it right.
[00:43:28] Earlier, peaceful protests used to happen. Protesters
[00:43:32] used to take permission from the police and used to finish their protest
[00:43:36] before an exact timing and used to leave
[00:43:40] peacefully from there. But the protests that are happening
[00:43:44] now are happening without permission. A large number of protesters,
[00:43:47] because as I told you, only about a thousand people
[00:43:50] can protest there. Now, thousands of people reach here,
[00:43:54] the law and order situation deteriorates, and somewhere the situation
[00:43:58] gets worse. Keeping this in mind,
[00:44:07] Three new sites have been designated for dharnas
[00:44:11] and protests in Delhi. Burari, Ramlila
[00:44:14] Maidan and CBT Ground. Now dharnas and protests
[00:44:17] will be allowed at these three new sites, and these three new
[00:44:21] sites have been identified for dharnas and protests.
[00:44:25] Jantar Mantar will no longer be a protest site.
[00:44:29] Jantar Mantar has been removed from the list of protest sites.
[00:44:32] A committee was formed by the Home Ministry,
[00:44:36] after which this decision was taken. The Delhi Police Commissioner
[00:44:40] has just issued standing orders, and regarding this decision,
[00:44:43] all SOPs and guidelines on how dharnas and protests
[00:44:47] will take place at these three sites
[00:44:47] will also be issued in some time from now.
[00:44:53] And one more big news is coming. This is
[00:44:55] the historical ground of Delhi
[00:44:59] where big political movements and rallies used to happen.
[00:45:03] A big decision has been taken regarding protest sites in Delhi.
[00:45:06] We have seen many big movements
[00:45:10] and protests in Ramlila Maidan in the recent past,
[00:45:13] which have had a big impact. Jantar Mantar has now been removed
[00:45:17] from the list of protest sites. Jantar Mantar has been removed
[00:45:21] from the list of protest sites. In its place, three new
[00:45:25] sites have been designated for dharnas and protests in Delhi:
[00:45:29] Ramlila Maidan, Burari, and CBD Ground. CBD Ground is in East Delhi.
[00:45:33] Ramlila Maidan and Burari,
[00:45:36] these three sites have been designated. Now, Divyanshu,
[00:45:40] we would also like to know this, because just after this protest,
[00:45:43] such big news is coming, so understanding its background
[00:45:47] becomes most important. Is this a decision taken immediately,
[00:45:50] or was this decision being discussed
[00:45:53] for a long time? See, absolutely, Ritu ji, for a long time,
[00:45:57] there was definitely a discussion that Jantar Mantar is in the New Delhi
[00:46:01] area, and when protesters reach here,
[00:46:04] the traffic system, apart from that, the law
[00:46:08] and order situation,
[00:46:10] somewhere, gets worse. And after that, for a long time,
[00:46:13] it was being considered whether protest sites can
[00:46:17] be transferred elsewhere or not, and this is why
[00:46:21] the Union Home Ministry had officially formed a committee,
[00:46:25] and in that, the senior officers of the Union Home Ministry
[00:46:29] were in that committee, and they considered it,
[00:46:32] and after that, that recommendation was directly
[00:46:36] given to the Delhi Police, and after that, the Delhi Police
[00:46:40] Commissioner issued a standing order. Obviously,
[00:46:43] when a large number of people participate in protests,
[00:46:47] then the situation and circumstances all get worse,
[00:46:50] and this is why, through a standing order,
[00:46:54] Jantar Mantar has now been removed from the protest site.
[00:46:57] It is hoped that in the coming days, if anyone wants to protest,
[00:47:01] they will inform the Delhi Police
[00:47:04] and take permission to protest in these three
[00:47:07] grounds, as we are telling our viewers that CBD Ground,
[00:47:11] Ramlila Ground, and Burari Ground. If you want
[00:47:14] to protest, you can protest in these three grounds
[00:47:18] by taking permission. Obviously, if you are protesting,
[00:47:21] then people should not face too many difficulties.
[00:47:25] The protesters should definitely think about this.
[00:47:29] But for the last few days, the protests we are seeing,
[00:47:32] not only are the protesters themselves troubled,
[00:47:36] but also the common people who walk on the road,
[00:47:40] the working people or other people,
[00:47:43] should not face difficulties. The protesters should think
[00:47:47] about this. But for now, it is hoped that in the coming
[00:47:50] days, protests will be held
[00:48:00] Yes, the Home Ministry has taken a big decision regarding Jantar Mantar.
[00:48:03] Now no kind of movement or dharna and protest
[00:48:07] can be held at Jantar Mantar. The central government has notified
[00:48:11] new places for movements and dharnas and protests in Delhi.
[00:48:16] be held at these three places: CBG Ground, which is also known
[00:48:20] as Shahdara, Burari and Ramlila Maidan.
[00:48:24] CBD Ground has been designated for dharnas and protests
[00:48:27] in East Delhi for protests. It is an open ground
[00:48:31] located in the northern part of Delhi where protests can be held.
[00:48:35] It is outside the central part of the city
[00:48:38] compared to Jantar Mantar. A potential option
[00:48:41] has been given for large gatherings for protests in view of these three sites
[00:48:45] being outside. CBD Ground is in East Delhi,
[00:48:49] in Karkar Duma, Shahdara area. So the kind of commuting
[00:48:52] difficulties that were happening, CBD Ground is also known as Shahdara.
[00:48:56] And then there is Ramlila Ground, Ramlila Maidan, and then Burari
[00:49:00] Ground where dharnas and protests can be held.
[00:49:04] Now these three new sites, a new option
[00:49:07] has been given for dharnas and protests in East Delhi.
[00:49:11] A big decision has been taken regarding protest sites in Delhi.
[00:49:14] These three new sites have been chosen
[00:49:18] for all aspects of law and order, public movement,
[00:49:23] and security.
[00:49:23] Jantar Mantar is
[00:49:27] now out of the list of protest sites. Delhi Police has taken a big decision
[00:49:31] regarding Jantar Mantar. Now dharnas and protests cannot be held.
[00:49:35] This decision has been taken by the Home Ministry. Delhi Police has taken this decision
[00:49:39] due to security reasons. Three new sites have now been chosen for dharnas
[00:49:43] and protests: Ramlila Maidan,
[00:49:49] Burari and CBD Ground. Ramlila Maidan is a historical
[00:49:53] ground in Delhi. Ramlila Maidan has been a witness
[00:49:56] to many important political gatherings, including a big rally of the JP movement.
[00:50:00] It's time for a short break. After the break, there will be more news.
[00:50:03] Keep watching DD
[00:50:08] News. Uttarakhand, nestled in the lap
[00:50:12] of the Himalayas, is not only known for its natural
[00:50:16] beauty, but also for the hard work, dedication,
[00:50:19] and self-confidence of its people. To give a new direction to these values,
[00:50:53] I would like to thank you very much.
[00:50:56] I am a beneficiary under this scheme,
[00:50:59] and along with me, many other families are joining
[00:51:03] this scheme and getting benefits. Thank you very much.
[00:51:06] With easy loan terms and subsidies, many
[00:51:11] only empowering themselves financially, but also creating new employment
[00:51:15] opportunities for others, which is not only giving a new impetus
[00:51:19] to the local economy, but also to the economy of Uttarakhand.
[00:51:22] The increasing opportunities for self-employment in the hilly
[00:51:26] areas are giving people the strength to stay connected
[00:51:30] to their villages and their roots. Through this scheme,
[00:51:33] a provision is being made
[00:51:37] of two lakh rupees to women to start self-employment
[00:51:40] or business according to their interest and needs.
[00:51:44] By combining local resources and traditional skills
[00:51:47] with modern thinking, new possibilities of development
[00:51:51] are being realized by overcoming the challenge of migration.
[00:51:55] In the direction of realizing the resolve of Uttarakhand,
[00:51:58] this is becoming such an example in which every successful attempt
[00:52:02] is writing a new chapter of prosperity, happiness, and a bright future for the state.
[00:52:06] And
[00:52:12] a big decision has been taken regarding protest and dharna sites in Delhi.
[00:52:16] The big news so far is that Delhi Police has removed
[00:52:19] Jantar Mantar from the list of protest sites. Now Ramlila Maidan,
[00:52:23] Burari Ground and CBD Ground in East Delhi have been designated
[00:52:26] as new sites for protests.
[00:52:30] Now no one will be able to hold any dharna, protest,
[00:52:34] hunger strike or movement
[00:52:37] at Jantar Mantar at any time. Delhi Police has removed
[00:52:40] Jantar Mantar's status as a notified protest site.
[00:52:44] According to the order, the government has designated
[00:52:47] Ramlila Maidan, Burari and
[00:52:50] CBD Ground as three new sites for dharnas
[00:52:54] and protests. Ramlila Maidan is a witness to many important
[00:52:58] political gatherings, including a big rally of the JP movement.
[00:53:01] We know that Ramlila Maidan is already a well-known
[00:53:05] site for large political gatherings. Meanwhile,
[00:53:08] Burari Ground, which is in North Delhi, in the Burari area,
[00:53:11] this ground has now been identified for dharnas and protests.
[00:53:15] It is an open ground located in the northern
[00:53:18] part of Delhi, where people can move
[00:53:21] freely. It is outside the central part of the city
[00:53:25] compared to Jantar Mantar. DK Dubey has joined
[00:53:28] us, Senior Advocate, Supreme Court. DK Dubey Sahab, this big
[00:53:32] decision has come. How do you see this big
[00:53:36] decision amidst the current circumstances? See, one thing is absolutely
[00:53:40] clear, and that is that Delhi shuts down for any kind of
[00:53:44] protest, the Honorable Supreme Court is repeatedly saying that the Right to Association
[00:53:47] is a fundamental right, but fundamental rights only extend
[00:53:51] as far as they do not infringe upon the fundamental rights of
[00:53:54] others. But when you say that we have fundamental
[00:53:58] rights and the whole of Delhi will shut down, in such a situation,
[00:54:01] this discussion was continuously going on because at Jantar
[00:54:05] Mantar there were no basic facilities, nor were there
[00:54:09] restrooms, nor anything else. And all around
[00:54:12] there are MPs and ministers, so the country faced a big problem. That's why the court
[00:54:16] was saying earlier to make a designated place where these protests could be held.
[00:54:20] So at that time, last week the Solicitor General
[00:54:23] had told them that "Sir, we will talk to the designated authority, what
[00:54:27] place do they give where convenient protests can be held?"
[00:54:30] So I understand that the Burari ground is
[00:54:33] in itself a big, big
[00:55:05] D.K. Dubey ji, but we are continuously seeing this decision,
[00:55:08] the kind of confrontation that is visible between the opposition
[00:55:12] and the government. Although you may or may not want to make a political comment,
[00:55:16] you are free for that. But this entire decision will be seen
[00:55:20] from many angles. In such a situation, the inconvenience
[00:55:24] caused to the common public in the last at least 12 days,
[00:55:28] in this area there are residences of MPs
[00:55:31] and leaders, this is a separate matter, but not just from this area, from Delhi
[00:55:35] itself, all big hospitals are connected, railway stations
[00:55:39] are connected, all colleges are connected. So,
[00:55:43] was the disruption of all that movement also a big concern
[00:55:46] of this big decision?
[00:55:49] No, that was the biggest problem, because even today I couldn't reach
[00:55:53] court, we are sitting here,
[00:55:56] we had to go to court, but couldn't reach court, because there is a crowd outside
[00:55:59] our office and we can't get out. So
[00:56:02] what happens is that in New Delhi there is a system to run
[00:56:06] the entire country, they deal with foreign
[00:56:09] policy from here, they deal with the entire country from here,
[00:56:13] that's why all the officers and employees from all over the country
[00:56:17] reside here, all the ministries are here and all of them face
[00:56:20] inconvenience, so this means that because of your protest,
[00:56:24] the country will not be shut down and there are no
[00:56:27] facilities there either, because if you go to Jantar Mantar right now,
[00:56:31] you will smell it, you won't find anything there, it smells so bad.
[00:56:34] Because where will so many people go, what will they do? The question
[00:56:38] is, the question can also be asked, D.K. Dubey sir, regarding any question,
[00:56:42] the way critics ask questions, then all these facilities should be made
[00:56:45] available there, this can also be a question. And the government's opinion
[00:56:49] is that these three new places have been chosen, they have been
[00:56:52] identified, so all those facilities are available there so that even if a large number
[00:56:56] of protestors come, firstly, the protestors will not face inconvenience,
[00:57:00] and along with that, the common public will not face any inconvenience.
[00:57:03] But we would also like to know if this big decision
[00:57:07] is a quick decision or a long process, a committee was formed, which
[00:57:11] you mentioned, so how much time did this committee take and how did
[00:57:14] this committee proceed with this decision? This is actually the case
[00:57:18] of permission at Jantar Mantar. So when they went to ask
[00:57:21] for permission and it was mentioned in court, the government,
[00:57:25] meaning the police, put forth its point that we cannot control it, such
[00:57:29] crowd management cannot happen here because at Jantar Mantar,
[00:57:32] even if two or three thousand people gather, the entire area gets blocked.
[00:57:36] There is no arrangement for more than three or four thousand people.
[00:57:39] So when the number is large, it moves towards Connaught Place,
[00:57:43] when the number is large, it moves towards all the ministries,
[00:57:47] it goes towards the court. In such a situation, when the police said
[00:57:51] that we cannot give them permission, because last time we had problems
[00:57:55] with crowd management. It's not that they didn't give permission last time, they did give permission last time,
[00:57:59] but crowd management couldn't happen and many problems arose.
[00:58:02] That's why when they denied, then the Supreme Court
[00:58:06] told the Solicitor General that why don't you give another designated
[00:58:09] place where these facilities are available? The Solicitor
[00:58:13] General said that we will talk to the designated authority,
[00:58:16] they will decide. Then the Supreme Court said, talk to the designated authority
[00:58:20] and identify a place for us where these arrangements can be made,
[00:58:23] so that Delhi does not face any problem and people can also voice their concerns.
[00:58:27] Yes, D.K. Dubey sir, so this order will be implemented from today, which means
[00:58:31] from tomorrow no protest of any kind can take place at Jantar Mantar.
[00:58:34] Thank
[00:58:40] us. And that's all for MDP with this big news. Please allow me to leave.
[00:58:43] Namaskar.
