[00:00:32] He is the Leader of the Opposition, but [00:00:35] in a NDTV India, the trust of India. Namaste. [00:00:38] Welcome to NDTV. [00:00:42] leaders have become a big threat I am Tabish Hussain. There was a big protest again in Delhi. [00:00:44] The opposition marched from 12 Khamba to the Supreme Court. [00:00:48] A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court and this petition may [00:00:52] To stop the opposition's march, be heard soon in the Supreme Court. Before this smart, [00:00:55] Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had said that this is not a protest but Shiv [00:00:59] Tandav. BJP raised questions on Rahul and the protest. [00:01:20] This was the opposition's platform against CC Gyanesh Kumar. [00:01:24] On Monday, calling for 'Chalo Delhi', opposition leaders gathered at [00:01:27] Delhi's Constitution Club. After this, they proceeded [00:01:31] towards the Supreme Court. Amidst heavy security and [00:01:34] restrictions, this protest continued systematically from morning till evening. [00:01:38] Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, [00:01:41] Mallikarjun Kharge, Akhilesh Yadav, Mamata Banerjee, and [00:01:45] many other big leaders of the opposition participated in the protest. [00:01:49] As part of the main agenda of the opposition, Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav, and [00:01:52] 11 leaders from 10 opposition parties have officially filed a petition [00:01:56] in the Supreme Court against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. [00:02:02] The title of this petition is Rahul Gandhi vs. Election [00:02:06] Commission of India. Rahul Gandhi is the prominent one among those who filed this petition [00:02:10] and his name is first. After this, Mallikarjun Kharge, Saugata [00:02:13] Roy, Akhilesh Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav, Sanjay [00:02:17] Raut, M.A. Baby, D. Raja, [00:02:20] Mahua Maji, Supriya Sule and E.T. Mohammed [00:02:23] Sameer Basheer were among the names included. In this matter, the Election Commission [00:02:27] and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar have been made respondents. [00:02:31] The petition from the INDIA alliance is 124 pages long, [00:02:35] and makes 10 demands. Instructions have been given to present [00:02:38] all records related to SIR. The constitutional validity of SIR's [00:02:42] decisions should be investigated. Action should be taken against responsible officials. [00:02:47] Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, The petitioners' grievances should be redressed. [00:02:50] Instructions should be given to keep online Form Six in accordance with prescribed rules. A demand has been made for an audit [00:02:54] by an independent committee. Instructions have been given to make public [00:02:57] the names of voters removed from SIR and the reasons for it. Instructions should be given not to remove [00:03:01] any voter's name without notice and hearing. A demand has also been made to put an interim stay [00:03:05] on the ongoing process of SIR, [00:03:08] Kanika Katiyar, and also to issue other orders as deemed appropriate [00:03:10] by the court. of [00:03:13] the is done, you came, we [00:03:16] hope that justice will be [00:03:18] served by the Supreme Court. [00:03:22] Today, the youth across the country are particularly agitated because they know that [00:03:26] votes are being stolen, vote theft has been caught. It is believed [00:03:30] that this petition may be heard soon in the Supreme Court. The 10 [00:03:33] prayers that the opposition has filed, the 10 [00:03:37] reliefs that have been sought from the Supreme Court, the details of those [00:03:40] are only with NDTV, and the biggest demand is that they [00:03:44] are saying that all the details related to the SIR process, [00:03:47] documents, records, minutes should all be summoned [00:03:51] from the Election Commission. They are saying that there [00:03:54] should be an audit by an independent committee of retired Supreme Court [00:03:58] judges, which should also include technical [00:04:02] experts and eminent personalities. They are [00:04:05] demanding that Form Six should be made [00:04:09] like before. Action should be taken against the guilty officers who made the amendments. [00:04:13] The names of those who have been removed, all their names [00:04:16] and the reason for their removal [00:04:19] should be made public. Incidentally, before this march, Rahul Gandhi [00:04:23] held a press conference at the Congress headquarters, in which he made serious allegations. [00:04:27] He said that Gyanesh Kumar himself is in contact with us. Messages come. [00:04:31] Messages come. Messages come. [00:04:35] You're [00:04:37] and you are watching this press conference. [00:04:39] turn approver, [00:04:42] You have done a crime. [00:04:45] on the streets of India. And frankly, you are not the main [00:04:49] criminal. [00:04:50] You made a mistake. [00:04:53] You made a mistake. [00:04:59] or social demonstrations. You are not the mind behind the mistake. [00:05:03] We are after the [00:05:05] people who are behind [00:05:09] what you did, it is very... [00:05:44] This is Tandav, this [00:05:48] is Shiva's dance. There is no planning [00:05:50] in this. The idea is written above. [00:05:53] Just do that. [00:05:57] No plan [00:06:00] is needed. What do you think, [00:06:03] we had made a plan in Akashwani Bhawan. The plan [00:06:06] was to [00:06:08] go by bus, sit down, get arrested. [00:06:16] The police would not let us go. The plan was [00:06:19] changed. How did the result come? Did it come [00:06:23] from a plan or non-plan? No plan [00:06:26] is needed. This dance is going on. This is Lord Shiva's [00:06:30] dance. Anyone can join Shiva's procession. [00:06:34] I said go back. [00:06:38] Look, this is Shiva's procession. [00:06:40] Anyone can come to this. [00:06:44] Any creature can come. We will not stop them. On the other hand, BJP alleges that [00:06:48] Congress is trying to spread anarchy and troubling [00:06:52] the common public. [00:06:55] By creating disorder, by creating [00:06:57] anarchy, rather there is a vile attempt [00:07:01] to put India's constitutional institutions [00:07:03] in the dock. It is a matter of surprise [00:07:06] that if [00:07:09] they win these elections, [00:07:14] it is their [00:07:15] valor, [00:07:18] and if they lose, the EVM is to blame. This is not Shiva's procession. This [00:07:22] is a [00:07:24] mob of [00:07:27] troublemakers who are trying to spread anarchy [00:07:31] on the [00:07:34] roads. They only know how to spread anarchy, [00:07:37] how to create instability, [00:07:41] how to bring down constitutional posts [00:07:44] and institutions, and how to [00:07:48] defame India worldwide, [00:07:51] how to weaken its image. It is [00:07:55] unfortunate that the country has never [00:07:58] seen such unstable, [00:08:02] chaotic, irresponsible spectacles and tantrums from the Leader of the Opposition. [00:08:06] The opposition is raising questions about the working style and impartiality of the Chief Election Commissioner. [00:08:10] The opposition demands that Gyanesh Kumar be removed immediately. [00:08:13] Now a petition has also been filed in the Supreme Court. In Delhi, Siktadev, [00:08:17] Jainendra Kumar, [00:08:20] Divyankar and Ashish Bhagwat along with Manranjan Bharti, NDTV [00:08:24] India. A social media post by the Kerala Pradesh Congress [00:08:28] has created a stir in the country's politics. Congress directly [00:08:31] asked the CJI to resign, while BJP termed [00:08:35] it as an open threat to the judiciary and an insult to the Constitution. [00:08:38] The matter escalated so much that Congress even deleted that post. [00:08:46] A social media post by the Kerala Congress has caused a stir in the country's politics. [00:08:50] From its official handle, the Kerala Congress targeted the Chief Justice of [00:08:54] India with very strong words. The post stated [00:08:57] that if the law and order of [00:09:00] the country is not in your hands, then you should resign. We [00:09:04] will find your alternative. [00:09:07] As soon as this post surfaced, there was a stir in political circles. Such a comment on the head of the Supreme Court [00:09:11] was directly considered an attack on the dignity [00:09:15] of the judiciary. BJP said that Congress has become shameless [00:09:19] and brazen. Now they want the resignation of Chief Justice Suryakant ji. [00:09:22] The meaning of this has become clear, and that too by Kerala [00:09:26] Congress, where they have an alliance government with the Muslim League. [00:09:30] And Rahul ji and Priyanka Gandhi both [00:09:33] have represented it. That means it is now absolutely clear [00:09:37] that Congress has completely become a Muslim [00:09:40] League Maoist Congress and will go to any [00:09:44] extent of mental Naxalism to [00:09:47] create anarchy in India, to destroy [00:09:51] every constitutional institution and to [00:09:55] create anarchy [00:09:58] It has completely become [00:10:00] shameless and brazen. [00:10:04] Kerala Congress has tweeted from its handle [00:10:07] that if law and order is not in your domain, then [00:10:11] you resign and go home, someone else will take [00:10:14] over the post. So after Gyanesh Kumar, now the time has come for the CJI's resignation. [00:10:18] See, this is a constitutional institution, [00:10:22] the Supreme Court. They will go against [00:10:25] it too. The Election Commission, they are against [00:10:29] it too. They want to remove Narendra Modi. They talk [00:10:32] about democracy, they talk about the constitution, [00:10:36] but they don't believe in the Supreme Court, [00:10:39] nor do they believe in the Election Commission. [00:10:43] BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari wrote, "This is a direct threat [00:10:46] to the Chief Justice of India. The Congress party hates [00:10:49] the country's democracy and its institutions. When decisions don't go their [00:10:53] way, they try to put pressure on the judiciary." The [00:10:57] BJP [00:11:00] also targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over this entire issue and [00:11:03] alleged that the Congress party and its [00:11:07] to the country's constitution. Surrounded on all sides and [00:11:10] fearing legal action, the Kerala Congress retreated. As soon as the controversy escalated, [00:11:14] Congress quickly deleted the controversial post from its social media handle. [00:11:18] However, by then, screenshots of this post had already gone viral. [00:11:22] Now it remains to be seen whether [00:11:25] this dispute subsides after removing the post or if the BJP will launch a nationwide [00:11:29] campaign against Congress. [00:11:32] Bureau Report NDTV India! [00:11:35] Jantar Mantar, [00:11:38] the street that witnessed the changing politics of the country, the rise and [00:11:42] fall of many governments, is now out of the list of protests. [00:11:45] On the recommendation of the Ministry of Home Affairs committee, Delhi Police has declared this [00:11:49] high-security VVIP area of Lutyens' Zone [00:11:53] completely a no-protest zone and [00:11:57] three new places have been given [00:12:00] for protests. [00:12:02] Jantar Mantar in Delhi, [00:12:13] a place where people from all corners of the country [00:12:16] used to come and raise their voices. [00:12:19] But [00:12:22] now silence will prevail here. In Delhi, [00:12:46] all in all, there will be no more protests at Jantar Mantar because it is no longer a protest site. [00:12:50] Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar has denotified it [00:12:54] and three places have been named where protests can be held [00:12:57] under an SOP. There will be some conditions [00:13:01] under which protests will be held. However, a detailed order will come [00:13:05] later. Here, the BJP was trying to protest, [00:13:08] but the Delhi Police has not given any permission for now. In the meantime, [00:13:12] this order has come, and it has been said that Jantar Mantar is no [00:13:15] longer a protest site. [00:13:18] So the question is, where will the voice of democracy [00:13:21] resonate now? For this, the administration in Delhi has [00:13:55] one near Marka, which is in West Delhi. The second is Burari Ground, which is [00:13:58] in East Delhi, and the third is in Central Delhi, [00:14:02] the historic Ramlila Maidan. The history of this historic Ramlila Maidan [00:14:05] is more than 100 years old. [00:14:09] In 1911, the staging of Ramlila began here. [00:14:13] And after that, from the staging of Ramlila to a [00:14:16] political platform, every leader [00:14:19] has been getting it from here, be it Deendayal Upadhyaya or Indira Gandhi. [00:14:23] When Bangladesh was liberated, Indira Gandhi held a huge public meeting [00:14:26] here and its celebration [00:14:30] was held here. After that, during the JP movement also, Ramlila [00:14:34] Maidan was in the news. If we talk about the last decades, Anna Hazare's [00:14:37] historic protest [00:14:41] took place here. After that, Ramdev's [00:14:44] protest took place here, and after that, he was also lathi-charged. [00:14:48] So Ramlila Maidan is known as a very political [00:14:52] ground in Delhi. In Delhi, [00:14:55] we [00:14:57] will tell you about all these three grounds. CBD Ground, [00:15:01] this ground is in the Karkardoma and [00:15:04] Shahdara areas of East Delhi. This is a vast open [00:15:08] area near commercial and community hubs where metro [00:15:11] connectivity is also available. This is a large, open [00:15:15] and flat ground that is extensively used for fairs, [00:15:18] religious events, and now administratively for political [00:15:24] Burari Ground, in 2020, [00:15:28] became a major focal point of the farmers' movement against the three agricultural [00:15:31] laws. Delhi Police had officially allowed [00:15:35] farmers to peacefully protest in this ground. [00:15:39] Ramlila Maidan of Delhi, [00:15:42] 1965, the slogan of Jai Jawan [00:15:46] Jai Kisan in 1972, [00:15:49] the celebration of Bangladesh victory, the [00:15:52] roar of JP movement, "vacate the throne, the public [00:15:55] is coming" - slogans raised on this very ground. [00:15:59] As soon as this decision came, there was a stir in the political corridors of Delhi. [00:16:02] Congress leaders Pawan Khera and Imran Pratapgarhi, [00:16:06] along with many other big opposition leaders, strongly [00:16:10] objected to this decision. The opposition's argument is that protests [00:16:13] should always be near centers of power, i.e., Parliament House [00:16:17] and ministries, so that the voice of the public [00:16:21] reaches the government. [00:16:23] Changing Jantar Mantar, the protest site, this [00:16:27] will not work. Three new places [00:16:30] for protests in Delhi, and it's good. If [00:16:33] they want to strengthen democracy, they should create more places [00:16:37] for protests. Changing places won't save [00:16:41] the government. The government's theft won't be saved by changing [00:16:44] protest sites. The government shouldn't be so dictatorial. [00:16:48] You want to suppress every dissenting voice, crush [00:16:52] it. You want to remove every such place from the map, [00:16:55] where once the voices to save democracy [00:16:59] in this country were raised. I think this is a very cowardly act of this government, [00:17:03] and the government, if not today, then tomorrow, will again [00:17:06] have to reconsider this decision. [00:17:37] The anger of the people is in their minds against this government. You can cancel [00:17:41] everything, sir, no protest will be possible, still there will be a protest. [00:17:44] On the [00:17:46] other hand, the administration clearly states that in a metropolitan city [00:17:49] like Delhi, it is very important to save lakhs of working [00:17:53] people from hours of traffic jams and to maintain [00:17:56] VVIP security at the international level. [00:17:59] Bureau Report NDTV India, with Mukesh Singh Sengar and Ravish [00:18:03] Ranjan Shukla from Delhi. On the allegations of sexual harassment against [00:18:11] Congress MP and former JNU professor Bimol [00:18:15] Akoijam, BJP has launched a nationwide campaign against [00:18:19] Congress. Today in Delhi, BJP Mahila Morcha activists [00:18:22] marched to gherao the Congress headquarters under the 'Nari Shakti Hunkar March'. [00:18:26] Rahul Gandhi, down, [00:18:29] down, [00:18:32] down, down, down, down, [00:18:35] down, down. We are present [00:19:40] here to take the resignation of the MP. [00:19:44] Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka [00:19:47] Gandhi, [00:19:49] 11 female students have made serious allegations of sexual harassment [00:19:53] against Manipur Congress MP Bimol Akoijam and former JNU [00:19:57] professor. [00:19:58] And [00:20:02] for this, BJP protested against Congress on the streets. [00:20:05] The [00:20:07] BJP has named this march 'Nari Shakti [00:20:10] Humkar'. [00:20:12] We are present on Deedio Marg, and here the protest of BJP women MPs [00:20:16] is continuously going on. You can see how they have held [00:20:20] placards in their hands and are protesting [00:20:24] against Hangucca Bimol. A complaint of sexual harassment [00:20:27] was filed against them. There are 11 such female students from JNU who are victims, [00:20:31] who had filed a complaint. Not only this, NDTV India has also received the report [00:20:34] of the internal committee. We will keep showing the pictures. [00:22:20] 11 female students have accused an elected MP [00:22:23] of sexual harassment. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi should answer. [00:22:27] Rahul ji is concerned about his publicity. [00:22:31] He says in the students' voice that the space was smashed [00:22:34] of patriarchy. So you remove Dr. Bimol. [00:22:38] What is Rahul ji's answer to the request? [00:22:42] During this roar of BJP Mahila Morcha, Delhi Police was seen [00:22:45] fully on alert mode. Police were on alert [00:22:49] on the routes leading to ITU and Congress office. [00:22:53] These 11 girls [00:22:55] who were sexually harassed by Professor Bimol, [00:22:59] till today Rahul Gandhi has not removed them, [00:23:02] has not taken any action against them, there is no accountability. [00:23:06] Congress and Rahul Gandhi have an accountability [00:23:09] to the girls, to whom they say "smash the patriarchy", [00:23:13] their own party's MP is sexually harassing children, [00:23:16] and that too a professor. The person [00:23:20] who committed such a big crime, because he is a friend [00:23:23] of Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi, the Congress party has sheltered [00:23:27] that criminal who sexually harassed 11 daughters. [00:23:31] Only three women develop [00:23:34] in Congress: Indira Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi [00:23:37] and Priyanka Gandhi. Let us tell you who Bimol [00:23:40] Akoijam is and what are the allegations against him. Bimol [00:23:44] Akoijam is a former professor of JNU and a Congress [00:23:47] MP. He faces serious allegations of sexual harassment. [00:23:50] 11 female students of JNU have made these allegations [00:23:54] against him. He is accused of making obscene comments during class, [00:23:58] of inappropriate behavior, and of seeking sexual favors [00:24:02] in exchange for marks. It will not [00:24:05] work, it will not work, it will not work. The allegations [00:24:08] against MP Bimol Akoijam have put Congress completely on the back [00:24:12] foot. [00:24:14] BJP Mahila Morcha is not [00:24:20] limiting this to Delhi, but protests are being held [00:24:24] across the country on this issue. In Belagavi, Karnataka, [00:24:27] BJP Mahila Morcha also marched [00:24:30] to the Congress office. The [00:24:33] BJP's clear demand is that until [00:24:36] the MP resigns and is arrested, [00:24:40] this roar will not stop. [00:24:42] Now let's see. [00:24:49] Subscribe [00:25:20] to and press the bell icon. NDTV [00:25:23] India, the trust [00:25:24] of India. [00:25:30] It won't work, it won't work, it won't work, it [00:25:33] won't work, it won't work. [00:25:47] This is Tandav. This [00:25:52] is Shiva ji's dance. Anyone can join Shiva's procession. This [00:25:56] is the opposition's march, CEC [00:26:00] Gyan. I can see a large crowd. [00:26:33] This intersection of Mandi House [00:26:36] is completely filled. [00:26:40] The crowd of people is continuously coming, [00:26:43] and that entire crowd has gathered [00:26:47] at Bhagwan Das Road intersection. You can see this [00:26:51] crowd. [00:26:54] Namaste, [00:27:10] Kachhari has started on NDTV. I am Tabish [00:27:14] Hussain with you. In Kachhari, today we will open the file [00:27:18] of the most burning issue. Democracy is from elections, and at this time [00:27:21] the biggest question is about elections. So what is the last resort [00:27:24] for democracy? Does the Chief Election Commissioner [00:27:28] of the country still have any options left or not? We will open [00:27:32] the file of this issue today. We will also open the case diary of Jantar Mantar, [00:27:36] which has now been locked forever. After 33 years, [00:27:39] Jantar Mantar has been closed for protests. [00:27:43] Why did Jantar Mantar's time run out? We will open [00:27:47] its file too, and at 10:30 PM, we will tell [00:27:51] you how the Pakistan government broke Imran Khan's [00:27:54] last hope. Has a permanent arrangement [00:27:57] been made to keep Imran in jail for life? [00:28:01] Will its file be opened? But first, let's talk about the final [00:28:04] round on [00:28:07] Gyanesh Kumar. [00:28:14] And where will Rahul Gandhi find it? In the BJP [00:28:18] office? This is Shiva ji's dance, anyone [00:28:22] can come to Shiva's procession. Those who oppose Ram [00:28:26] are talking about Shiva ji's procession. The government should listen and remove [00:28:29] the Election Commission. These are all burnt out cartridges. The public [00:28:33] has rejected them. I appeal to the people of the country, protest [00:28:37] wherever you get a chance. [00:28:39] Then [00:28:41] protests, then marches, then slogans, and such a huge crowd [00:28:45] that only heads were visible everywhere. To remove [00:28:50] the opposition, led by Rahul Gandhi, staged a big [00:28:53] show of strength in the country's capital. [00:28:55] This march [00:29:03] to the Supreme Court is the next phase of the protests that have been [00:29:06] going on for about a week. Before this, opposition MPs [00:29:10] have already complained about Gyanesh Kumar to the President. [00:29:14] Now the Supreme Court has also been approached. The Supreme Court has been asked [00:29:18] to investigate the constitutional validity of SIR, [00:29:21] to provide records related to SIR, [00:29:25] and to impose an interim stay on the SIR process. These [00:29:29] demands are part of the petition that was filed [00:29:32] during the opposition's march to the Supreme Court on Monday. A petition has been filed [00:29:36] in the Supreme Court by Rahul Gandhi against Gyanesh Kumar. [00:29:39] The names of 11 leaders are also among the petitioners, [00:29:43] in which the main petitioner is Rahul Gandhi. Other petitioners include Kharge, [00:29:46] Akhilesh Yadav, Saugata Roy, Tejashwi Yadav, Sanjay [00:29:50] Raut, M.A. Baby, D. Raja, Mahua Maji, and [00:29:54] Supriya Sule and Mohammad Basheer are also included. In the petition, [00:29:57] the Election Commission and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, along with Election [00:30:01] Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, have also been [00:30:05] made parties. And the most important thing is that Rahul Gandhi's [00:30:08] petition may be heard on Tuesday. It seems [00:30:12] that the opposition is in the mood for an all-out battle against [00:30:16] the Chief Election Commissioner. Now the biggest question is, how far [00:30:20] will the movement against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar [00:30:23] go? What is the final solution to this protest? [00:30:27] Has the opposition really increased pressure on Gyanesh Kumar? [00:30:31] Understand it this way: today a show of strength was organized [00:30:35] by gathering a large crowd on the streets of Delhi, [00:30:38] where just a day earlier, heavy security forces [00:30:41] were visible everywhere. Rahul Gandhi called this protest [00:30:45] Shiva ji's procession, in which anyone can participate. [00:30:48] This is Tandav, [00:30:52] this is Shiva's dance. [00:30:55] There is no planning in this, no plan [00:30:58] is needed.
