[00:00:06] So what is special in the report submitted by the Inquiry Commission on the Sambhal violence of 2024, [00:00:10] let us tell you that the report of the Inquiry Commission on the violence that took place in [00:00:14] 2024 has now come to light. [00:00:17] Based on this, the report of the Judicial Commission [00:00:21] was first presented in the UP Assembly, and the report states [00:00:25] that the violence was planned [00:00:29] and executed as per a complete plan. [00:00:32] Confusion was spread among Muslims regarding the mosque survey, [00:00:36] and a crowd was gathered outside the mosque by spreading rumors. This was claimed [00:00:39] in the report, and people were incited to violence, [00:00:43] and the situation was worsened. A fully planned attempt [00:00:47] was made to loot police weapons and equipment, which was pre-planned. [00:00:50] The crowd tried to cause maximum damage to the police and administration, [00:00:54] and the commission's report also raises questions about the role of many people. [00:00:58] You see, the name of SP MP Zia-ur-Rahman Barq [00:01:02] is also in this inquiry report, [00:01:04] it was presented in the Assembly. and the name of Sohail, son of SP MLA Iqbal Mahmood, [00:01:07] is also mentioned. On November 24, 2024, the survey [00:01:10] team went to the Shahi Masjid, and later large-scale violence [00:01:14] erupted in Sambhal. Stone-pelting [00:01:17] and firing were seen, arson was seen, and news of the death of four people [00:01:21] also came to light. The commission said that the bullets that hit [00:01:25] the deceased were not police bullets. In the violence, 28 [00:01:29] policemen were also injured, and seven were also shot. This commission was formed [00:01:32] on the orders of the High Court to investigate the violence, and the action of the police administration [00:01:37] So we are with the students. is effective and restrained. This was also claimed in the report. [00:01:53] A big revelation has been made about the violence that took place in Sambhal two years ago. [00:01:56] The situation suddenly deteriorated during the survey on November 24, 2024. [00:02:00] During this, there were crowds on the streets of Sambhal, [00:02:03] there was stone-pelting, and firing, and [00:02:07] the entire area was engulfed in the fire of violence. Now, the report of the Judicial Commission [00:02:10] on this entire incident has come out. According to the report, [00:02:15] to talk, the Sambhal violence was not a spontaneous act of violence, [00:02:17] but rather a plan to commit violence [00:02:20] to talk. had already been prepared. The Judicial Commission has presented [00:02:23] its report on the floor of the UP Assembly. The commission [00:02:26] has mentioned the role of some prominent people in its report, and has also said [00:02:30] that wrong information was spread among people regarding the survey. [00:02:34] According to the report, a large crowd gathered outside the mosque [00:02:37] on November 24, 2024, and after that, the situation turned violent. [00:02:40] Four people died in this violence, [00:02:44] while 28 police personnel were injured in the stone-pelting and firing incident. [00:02:48] Along with this, the report also states that seven police personnel were shot. [00:02:51] The biggest political aspect of the Judicial Commission's report [00:02:54] is that the report mentions the Samajwadi Party from Sambhal. [00:02:58] I disagree with this report and condemn it, [00:03:21] with their demands for their rights. and you saw that such [00:03:24] things that the Constitution has given us rights [00:03:28] are not being [00:03:31] decided, and the report is not a court, [00:03:35] the SIT was not a court, it was just a commission, a judicial commission, [00:03:39] which had to submit its report, but in this report, things were also included [00:03:43] that were different from its subject, which is wrong, and it is an attempt [00:03:46] to tarnish our image, not my image, but the image of the entire community of our [00:03:49] Sambhal people. The commission [00:03:53] has also said that the bullets that hit the deceased were not police bullets. The report also [00:03:57] mentions the attempt by miscreants to loot police weapons and equipment. [00:04:00] The commission has called the action of the district administration and police [00:04:04] effective and restrained. But now the question is not just about the report, [00:04:08] the question is also about its political impact, because the 2027 assembly elections [00:04:11] in Uttar Pradesh are not far away, and this report that came before that [00:04:15] can give a new turn to the political debate. [00:04:18] One side will make law and order and administrative action an issue, [00:04:22] while the other side can raise questions about the report's conclusions [00:04:26] and actions. The job of the police [00:04:30] is to protect, not to kill and falsely implicate. [00:04:33] That is, in the coming days, the Sambhal report will not remain [00:04:36] just a legal document, but can also become [00:04:40] a part of political discourse. As far as Hindu-Muslim [00:04:44] politics is concerned, the final decision on that will be determined by the strategies [00:04:47] of political parties and public issues, but it is certain that [00:04:51] after the Sambhal report, issues like religious tension, law and order, [00:04:54] has said that it is ready to talk administrative action, and social harmony can once again come to the center [00:04:58] of political discussion. [00:05:01] So even at that time, they used to say that this Sambhal violence is pre-planned, [00:05:04] and there are important office bearers [00:05:07] that we had given up of the Samajwadi Party involved in instigating it. [00:05:09] Now the commission has said so. it had submitted [00:06:12] it, but now after a year, the government remembered [00:06:16] to keep it on the table of the assembly because elections are approaching, [00:06:20] and I also disagree with that report [00:06:23] because that report is wrong, it [00:06:26] has absolutely no [00:06:30] meaning, it is completely different from what was expected, and most of the reports submitted by the SIT in BJP [00:06:33] have been like this, and the unfortunate thing is that [00:06:37] the injustice and oppression that happened to our people, where we wanted justice, [00:06:41] and those people [00:07:12] are not there, and regarding this, we will continue to demand action in this entire matter. [00:07:16] For more information, our correspondent Aqeel Zamir has joined us live from Sambhal. [00:07:20] Aqeel, the report has come out, many shocking revelations have also come out, [00:07:24] but Ziaur Rahman Barq is saying that it had come out a year ago. What information [00:07:28] do you have about this? [00:07:37] Aqeel, we cannot hear your voice. We will connect with you again. In the meantime, [00:07:41] the pictures that constantly came out were seen by the whole country. [00:07:45] After this violence in 2024, [00:07:49] police vigilance has been seen there and complete [00:07:52] and tight security arrangements have been made. But a long investigation [00:07:56] took place in this entire matter, and now that the Judicial Commission has presented [00:08:00] this report, the names that are coming out in it will lead to an acceleration [00:08:04] of action in this entire matter. However, what will be its complete process, [00:08:08] we will know more from our correspondent later, but for now, we are showing you these different [00:08:11] pictures related to this entire matter. However, SP MP [00:08:15] Barq is completely rejecting this report [00:08:18] and raising many serious questions. [00:08:22] So SP MP Barq is raising questions on the report, but don't forget these [00:08:25] pictures of November 2024. These pictures are from Sambhal [00:08:29] in Uttar Pradesh, where violence took place [00:08:33] almost two years ago, and now a report has come out in this case. [00:08:36] It has been presented in the assembly, and what is in the report, [00:08:40] we will also tell you, but before that, let us tell you that this violence [00:08:44] erupted when the survey team reached the Shahi Masjid for the survey, [00:08:47] and the report has revealed that rumors were spread [00:08:51] through wrong information. Go, [00:08:54] go, [00:08:58] come, [00:09:21] We are showing you pictures of the Sambhal violence. See what kind of situation arose [00:09:25] when the administration team reached Sambhal's Shahi Masjid to conduct a survey. [00:09:28] Here, how the team was attacked, and after that, the security forces [00:09:32] managed to evacuate the survey team with great difficulty, [00:09:36] but you can see in the pictures how the situation had deteriorated then. [00:09:40] So, [00:09:58] we are showing you pictures one by one. These pictures are from the time [00:10:01] when the violence was taking place, which we are showing you right now. [00:10:05] Look, you will clearly see a masked person firing in the picture, [00:10:09] and look at these different masked people. Look, you will see a pistol [00:10:12] in their hand, and a mask will be clearly visible on their face, and when these pictures came out, [00:10:16] everyone was stunned that who were [00:10:20] these masked people in this entire matter, and where did [00:10:24] they get pistols from? How did these people get [00:10:26] here? So now let's show you the next picture of the same Shahi Masjid [00:10:30] in Sambhal that caused the uproar. We are showing you these pictures [00:10:34] of the Shahi Masjid of Sambhal, which caused the uproar [00:10:37] when the survey team arrived here. Today, there are tight [00:10:41] security arrangements here. There are police posts on both [00:10:45] sides here that keep watch 24 hours a day. Aqeel has joined us once again [00:10:49] for more information. Aqeel, this report has come out, many big revelations [00:10:52] have also been made, but the Samajwadi Party is making serious allegations [00:10:56] and saying that the report came out a year ago, [00:11:00] and it has been released now due to political reasons. [00:11:02] Yes, [00:11:07] absolutely, look, the incident happened on November 24, [00:11:10] 2024. After that, we saw that on the 28th, [00:11:13] an SIT team was formed. After that, look, [00:11:17] after one year, in August last year, in August [00:11:21] 2025, this report was submitted to the government. [00:11:25] And yesterday, we saw that on Wednesday, [00:11:29] So, regarding its timing, the Samajwadi Party [00:11:33] is constantly targeting the BJP government. Yesterday, we saw that after the report [00:11:36] was submitted on the floor of the Assembly, [00:11:40] the statement of Jaiman Barq also came. He says that it is being used [00:11:43] for political mileage. And if you look at the report, [00:11:47] two-three things have been prominently mentioned in the report. The first thing is that [00:11:51] the entire violence there was not spontaneous in any way. [00:11:55] It was a pre-planned conspiracy, [00:11:59] under which it was executed. In this, the names of six people [00:12:02] are prominent. The first name is [00:12:06] that of Ziaur Rahman Bagh, who is the MP from Sambhal. After that, the second name [00:12:10] is Sohail Iqbal, who is the MLA from Sambhal. Besides that, three [00:12:13] members of the management [00:12:16] committee of the mosque, including the President, Vice President, and [00:12:20] Secretary. These are five people. The sixth name is Iqbal Jamal [00:12:23] from Qasim Jamal. So there are six people [00:12:27] whose names are included in this entire report. Before this, we saw that [00:12:31] in the incident that took place, 28 policemen were injured, and four [00:12:35] people also died. And the second big thing that is coming out in the report [00:12:39] is that the people who died, the four people who died, [00:12:43] those four people did not die from police [00:12:46] bullets, but from the bullets of the miscreants who were involved [00:12:49] in the violence of this entire incident. [00:12:53] So their deaths occurred [00:13:09] Please keep an eye on it. Thank you very much for all the information. So the report of the Sambhal violence has come out, and politics [00:13:13] is also heating up over it. Samajwadi Party leaders [00:13:16] are calling the report sponsored, and the BJP is calling the violence sponsored. [00:13:20] We used to say at that time that this Sambhal [00:13:24] incident was also sponsored, and that important officials [00:13:28] of the Samajwadi Party are involved in provoking it. [00:13:31] Now the commission has said so, so that बात has been proved. [00:13:34] Our honorable MP Ziaur Rahman Sahib and the political leaders [00:13:38] and public representatives have [00:13:42] had their names added [00:13:45] due to some conspiracy, because the job of [00:13:49] a public representative is to guide people, [00:13:52] not to incite them. I think if [00:13:56] the public representatives had not handled the situation there, [00:13:59] then who knows how many more people would have been killed [00:14:03] by police bullets, besides the four or five people who died. [00:14:05] Now let's move on. [00:14:09] Let us tell you another big news. Big information is coming out regarding the demand [00:14:12] to change the name of Sambhal Railway Station in UP. [00:14:16] A VHP leader has appealed to CM Yogi in this regard. [00:14:20] A proposal has been made to name it Hari Har Nagar [00:14:23] instead of Hatim Sarai. This demand has been raised by calling [00:14:27] Sambhal a pilgrimage city. The renovation of the station [00:14:30] is also being demanded. So we are showing you Hatim Sarai, [00:14:34] this railway station of Sambhal. The VHP leader has appealed [00:14:37] to CM Yogi to change its name, and in this whole matter, [00:14:41] the demand to change the name Hatim Sarai has been raised, that this [00:14:45] name should be changed and the name of the railway station [00:14:48] should be Harihar Nagar. [00:14:50] And now we will talk about Jharkhand, [00:14:54] where the monsoon session of the assembly is going to begin [00:14:57] from today. The opposition has prepared to corner [00:15:01] the Soren government on the issue of paper leak, while the BJP and [00:15:05] its allies have also got the issue of students, and on this issue, the Soren government [00:15:08] will be surrounded. But the government [00:15:12] has also made a complete plan to respond to the BJP on the issue of NEET paper. [00:15:16] Along with this, the government [00:15:19] to the students. That is, this time there will be a fierce battle in the House, [00:15:23] and in the meantime, student leader Devendra Mahto's hunger strike is also going on. [00:15:27] Students are adamant on their demands, CID action is also going on against the leak mafia, [00:15:31] and arrests are continuously happening. And a big update related to this [00:15:34] is that CID action is continuously going on in the JPSC recruitment [00:15:38] scam. The investigation into the allegations [00:15:42] of internal collusion in the recruitment process has intensified. [00:15:45] Meanwhile, five more people, including the computer operator of the former chairman of JPSC, [00:15:49] have been arrested. The accountant of the agency [00:15:52] that conducted the exam is also in custody. [00:15:55] This big news is coming out. Meanwhile, the accused [00:15:59] Rakshak Singh himself had also passed the JPSC PT exam, [00:16:03] and till now, CID has tightened its grip [00:16:06] on 20 accused. So CID's rapid action [00:16:10] is continuously going on in the JPSC recruitment scam case, where arrests are happening [00:16:14] one after another, and five more accused are now in CID's [00:16:18] custody. So today, the monsoon session [00:16:20] of the assembly is going to begin in Jharkhand, [00:16:24] and the students' hunger strike is also continuing. JPSC [00:16:28] paper scam, besides this, the matter of NEET paper leak [00:16:31] can resonate in Parliament, but the big update is that [00:16:35] the Jharkhand Assembly is starting from today. Chaos is expected [00:16:37] on the issue of paper irregularities, and the opposition [00:16:43] has strategized to corner the NDA government. A CBI inquiry [00:16:47] is being demanded in the matter, while the government [00:16:50] is ready to meet the students. This is what the government says. [00:16:53] So what did hunger strike activist Devendra [00:16:57] Mahto say on this, [00:16:59] listen. You have accepted [00:17:03] this condition, Sonam Wangchuk, that until the students of Jharkhand [00:17:06] get justice, until this [00:17:10] protest is successful, Sonam Wangchuk [00:17:14] will be with us and [00:17:17] will always be in touch [00:17:19] and will also [00:17:23] be on video call. And after today, [00:17:26] I will consume water and salt. [00:17:29] Many people have also gone to jail in this case. [00:17:32] By the investigating agency. They are devastated, [00:17:36] troubled. [00:18:07] You only stay with the forces that destabilize India. [00:18:11] You have nothing to do with students. Regarding the Jharkhand exam, [00:18:14] the JPSC exam, the 14th [00:18:17] JPSC exam that was held for the Public Service Commission exam [00:18:20] of Jharkhand, where the paper [00:18:24] was leaked, in that matter, [00:18:28] no one saw any Congress worker holding a placard. [00:18:31] Nobody saw it, because [00:18:35] this is selective outrage. [00:18:38] And behind this, the Congress party is only trying [00:18:41] to gain political mileage. The people who are sitting on protest [00:18:44] regarding JSSC, regarding JPSC, the irregularities [00:18:48] that happened there, we said that the government should immediately take cognizance of this. [00:18:51] In this, my personal opinion is that there should not even be any discussion, [00:18:55] the government should take action immediately, and should pay attention [00:18:59] to the children's concerns. So, for more information [00:19:01] on this entire issue, our correspondent Harivansh Sharma has joined us from Ranchi. [00:19:05] Harivansh, there are many such issues on which the opposition [00:19:08] will attack the government in Parliament, but the most important is the students' movement [00:19:12] that has been going on for several days. Will its echo also reach the floor of Parliament? [00:19:15] See, [00:19:19] it's been the 80th day today that students have been continuously protesting. [00:19:22] And from today, the monsoon session of the Jharkhand [00:19:26] assembly is starting. The students [00:19:30] had announced earlier that on the 6th, [00:19:33] when the monsoon starts, [00:19:36] they will gherao the assembly. But yesterday, [00:19:40] they changed it, and they will gherao the assembly [00:19:43] on the 10th. August 10th. [00:19:47] So the students' movement is continuously going on. [00:19:50] The opposition is also aggressive here. Yesterday, the opposition leader [00:19:54] Babul Mandi also went to meet the students. However, the government [00:19:58] has taken an initiative in the meantime, and has opened the path for talks, [00:20:02] but the path that the government [00:20:05] has opened is not acceptable to the students. [00:20:09] So the students want to talk to the government [00:20:13] on their demands in an open forum, for which the government has not yet agreed. [00:20:17] A team has been formed which includes four ministers and [00:20:20] one IAS officer. So now it remains to be seen whether the students [00:20:24] accept the government's demand, the initiative that the government [00:20:28] has taken, or not. But for now, [00:20:32] the government is firm on its demands. Okay, [00:20:35] okay, keep an eye on it. When the session starts, [00:20:39] we will take updates from you further. For now, thank you very much for all the information. So the Soren government has taken a big [00:20:43] decision on the students' protest. A high-level committee has been formed, [00:20:46] and four ministers have also been included in the committee. [00:20:50] This high-level committee will interact with the students, and the government [00:20:54] has taken the initiative to resolve the dispute by forming this committee. [00:20:57] However, there was a continuous demand that a delegation should meet [00:21:00] the students, but for now, the big update is that the Hemant Soren [00:21:04] government has formed this committee under this decision. Meanwhile, Jharkhand [00:21:08] government minister Irfan Ansari says that we are with the students. [00:21:11] Our colleague Raman Rai spoke to Irfan Ansari. [00:21:14] At this time, [00:21:17] we have Jharkhand government minister Dr. Irfan [00:21:20] Ansari. Sir, what was the outcome of today's meeting [00:21:24] with the CM regarding the students' protest? How will you all [00:21:27] move forward now? See, I have said before [00:21:31] that youth power [00:21:34] is our own power. We are youth ourselves, [00:21:38] our Chief Minister is youth, and no one can understand [00:21:41] the pain of the youth better than us. Whatever [00:21:45] grievances there are, today we discussed [00:21:48] them in the legislative party meeting with our in-charge K. Raju [00:21:52] sir. We first talked about what the issues are, [00:21:54] what can be done for the youth, how the matter can be sorted out, [00:21:58] how a solution can be found. [00:22:01] All these things were discussed. Directly or indirectly, [00:22:04] BJP should not have gone there. Is someone backing them [00:22:08] from behind? BJP backing. We think [00:22:12] that BJP is giving backup, and there are two-three groups there. [00:22:14] So some people are genuine, some [00:22:18] people you know, I don't want to say anything in such a sensitive matter, [00:22:22] but we are with the youth that in Jharkhand, how many recruitments happen [00:22:26] in JPSC? 300 or 400 [00:22:28] seats. Yes, there was no paper leak here, [00:22:32] there were irregularities here, [00:22:36] errors were found. Our Chief Minister took a strict step. [00:22:40] It was Rahul ji's instruction, [00:22:42] action was taken, the chairman was removed, 12 [00:22:46] people are in jail, and raids are going on everywhere. [00:22:49] All coaching centers, [00:22:53] students are not satisfied, [00:22:56] on the other hand, the students who are sitting, [00:23:00] they have received a message from the government, they have been invited [00:23:05] and these people are also ready, [00:23:08] they will send their delegation What [00:23:11] will you say? Yes, there will be talks with the government. [00:23:15] Students will go from here and [00:23:19] students will go from there, and there will be collective talks. [00:23:22] People from your group will also go. This [00:23:25] is not a group. There are students here, and there are students [00:23:29] there. So, [00:23:33] earlier, Sonam Wangchuk had spoken to Devendra Mahto, who was on a hunger strike, [00:23:36] over the phone, and what conversation took place between them, you can see [00:23:40] in this report. [00:23:41] In Ranchi, [00:23:58] amidst torrential rain, the education activists at Jaipal Singh Stadium [00:24:02] are steadfast. This government's paper leak [00:24:05] They are steadfast in their mission [00:24:11] Until yesterday, the JPSC students who were raising slogans [00:24:15] were now peacefully protesting. what was discussed between him [00:24:18] and Sonam Wangchuk [00:25:50] and how he agreed to drink water? [00:25:53] When he found out [00:25:57] food as well as water, he became very [00:26:01] concerned, and he made a video call [00:26:04] and supported my movement. Perhaps he [00:26:08] doubted whether Devendra Mahato would drink water later or not, [00:26:11] so he requested that you have to drink water [00:26:15] on video call. You drank water, [00:26:17] yes. Mahto took a promise from Sonam Wangchuk [00:26:21] that Sonam would support his protest and [00:26:24] would also come to Ranchi for him. Although Devendra Mahto drank water, his hunger strike [00:26:28] is still going on. It will continue, and he accepted [00:26:32] our condition, and based on our condition, [00:26:36] from today onwards, we will drink water, but we will not eat food. [00:26:39] Amidst all this, the Congress, a partner [00:26:42] in the Jharkhand government, has also demanded a proper investigation and action [00:26:46] from Chief Minister Hemant Soren in the matter. A Congress delegation is also preparing [00:26:50] to meet him in this regard. Some Congress leaders went to meet [00:26:53] Mahto yesterday and even today. No, we [00:26:56] are former MLAs, we are not in the system, but we [00:27:00] made full efforts on behalf of the party. [00:27:04] And a delegation was formed for this. The Congress party fully supports [00:27:08] the students and is continuously making full efforts, [00:27:11] and we are fully confident that the honorable Chief Minister [00:27:14] will also look into all these things sensitively. The BJP is attacking [00:27:17] the state government on this entire issue and directly linking the accused [00:27:21] to the state government. CBI investigation and [00:27:24] immediate action against the remaining three JPSC members. One is [00:27:28] the wife of a JMM spokesperson, one is a former Congress spokesperson, [00:27:33] and the third one is a very close relative of the honorable Chief Minister. [00:27:36] So how do you expect justice in such a situation? [00:27:39] On the other hand, a major action has been taken in the JPSC scam case. [00:27:43] The CID has arrested three more middlemen. So far, a total of [00:27:47] 14 accused have been arrested. An investigation is underway regarding manipulation [00:27:50] in OMR sheets. Raids have been conducted at 18 locations [00:27:54] in five districts, including Ranchi. Many people have also gone to jail [00:27:58] and are being interrogated by the investigating agency. [00:28:01] All in all, the agency [00:28:04] is working with full [00:28:08] strength. It is hoped that the students' [00:28:12] problems will be resolved soon, and a new framework for the exam [00:28:15] will be prepared so that deserving candidates can truly get their due.

[00:28:31] Now it remains important to see [00:29:32] retaliated with a drone attack. The director of a factory supplying drones [00:29:36] to the Russian army was injured.

[00:29:56] So today, there is a big political uproar over youth and students in the country. [00:30:00] In Prayagraj, Rahul Gandhi's Gen Z संवाद program [00:30:03] has been canceled by the district administration and trust. [00:30:06] On this, Congress has sharply attacked. But the political stir does not stop [00:30:10] here. On one hand, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat [00:30:13] is going to have a direct dialogue with Gen Z and students today. [00:30:17] He has said that youth need guidance. [00:30:21] On the other hand, everyone's eyes are on Abhijeet Deepke's Kokro Janata Party's [00:30:25] second important meeting to be held today at 5 pm. [00:30:28] It remains to be seen how the youth's political [00:30:32] tug-of-war turns out. [00:30:35] Meanwhile, we tell you a big news. The suspense over the students' program [00:30:39] continues. Rahul Gandhi's permission [00:30:43] has been canceled. This entire program was to be held [00:30:47] in Prayagraj on August 8. A big update is coming out regarding the cancellation [00:30:50] of permission for the KP College ground. The order of the Allahabad High Court [00:30:54] has been cited. The reason given is academic activities [00:30:58] and waterlogging in the college premises.
