[00:00:00] whose population is more than 90 million, Iran's big
[00:00:04] cities, Iran has a huge stockpile of terrifying missiles
[00:00:07] and one of the most powerful armies in West
[00:00:11] Asia Iran
[00:00:13] On the other hand, there is no
[00:00:17] country, no army, no
[00:00:21] air force for Houthi, but its effect
[00:00:23] is such that the world's busiest sea routes
[00:00:27] fall silent. That's why today the question is not just about
[00:00:31] Iran, the question is whether Houthi
[00:00:35] is Iran's most destructive weapon, missiles,
[00:00:38] drones, long-range attacks and a constantly growing
[00:00:41] challenge, the question is, why
[00:00:45] is such a powerful Saudi Arabia not able to stop Houthi? So
[00:00:49] the first answer to this question is the battlefield. In fact, Houthi
[00:00:52] does not fight in open fields, but Houthi has been entrenched
[00:00:56] in the mountainous and difficult areas of Yemen for decades.
[00:01:25] harassment against Congress
[00:01:30] It is a part, meaning the stronger the Houthi become,
[00:01:33] the more Iran's influence seems to increase. This is
[00:01:37] why every missile fired at Riyadh is not just
[00:01:42] has also been filed Saudi, but is also considered Iran's message to the entire West
[00:01:45] Asia. This is why this matter is no longer
[00:01:49] limited to Yemen, but Saudi Arabia, Turkey,
[00:01:52] Pakistan are seen on one side, and Iran and its close
[00:01:56] groups, Houthi, on the other. The war being fought on the land
[00:02:00] of Yemen has actually become a war for the balance of power
[00:02:03] in the entire Middle East, and with every missile,
[00:02:07] this conflict is growing bigger. And as far as the power
[00:02:11] of Houthi and Saudi Arabia is concerned, there is a huge difference
[00:02:15] between their powers. Despite this, Houthi seems
[00:02:18] to be gaining strength. Yemen's
[00:02:21] Houthi organization, formed in 1992, today has the power
[00:02:25] to put pressure on sea routes like the Red Sea and Bab
[00:02:28] al-Mandeb, with its nearly 200,000 fighters, drones,
[00:02:32] ballistic missiles, and a range of more than
[00:02:35] 2,000 kilometers. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia
[00:02:38] is among the most influential powers in the Middle
[00:02:41] East. Saudi Arabia is the world's largest crude oil exporter,
[00:02:45] equipped with a state-of-the-art army and air force, it owns
[00:02:49] 15 to 17 percent of the world's oil reserves and is considered
[00:02:52] a major strategic ally of America. That is, on one side
[00:02:56] there is the power of missiles and naval pressure, and on the other
[00:03:00] side there is a vast
[00:03:01] against MP Vimol Akoijam empire of oil, money, and military
[00:03:05] power. How powerful are the Houthi rebels, or
[00:03:09] how much is Iran's effect on their power? This question
[00:03:12] is important because if Houthi's power increases, the balance
[00:03:16] of power in not just Yemen but the entire West
[00:03:20] has become Asia could change. And perhaps because of this,
[00:03:23] Saudi Arabia looks completely scared
[00:03:26] and terrified in front of the formidable Houthi. Bureau
[00:04:33] marched from Barakhamba to the Supreme Court. A petition
[00:04:36] has been filed in the Supreme Court and it may be heard
[00:04:40] soon. Before this march, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had said
[00:04:44] that this was not a protest, but Shiv Tandav. The BJP
[00:04:48] raised questions about Rahul
[00:04:49] and the protest.
[00:04:53] Where will he find
[00:04:55] Rahul
[00:04:58] from the BJP's pressure?
[00:05:42] A formal petition has been filed in the Supreme Court against
[00:05:46] Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
[00:05:49] The title of this petition is Rahul Gandhi vs. Election
[00:05:53] Commission of India. Among the petitioners, Rahul Gandhi is
[00:05:57] prominent and his name is first. After this, Mallikarjun Kharge,
[00:06:00] Saugata Roy, Akhilesh Yadav, Tejashwi
[00:06:04] Yadav, Sanjay Raut, MA
[00:06:06] Baby, D Raja, Mahua Maji, Supriya
[00:06:10] Sule and ET Mohammad Sameer Bashir are included.
[00:06:13] The Election Commission and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar
[00:06:17] have been made respondents in this case. The petition from the India
[00:06:21] alliance is 124 pages long and makes 10 demands. Instructions
[00:06:24] have been given to submit all records related to SIR, the constitutional
[00:06:28] validity of SIR's decisions should be investigated, action should
[00:06:32] be taken against responsible officials, the petitioner's complaints
[00:06:35] should be addressed, and instructions should be given to keep online
[00:06:39] Form Six in accordance with the prescribed rules. A demand
[00:06:42] has been made to constitute an independent committee to conduct an audit.
[00:06:46] Instructions have been given to make public the names and reasons
[00:06:49] for the deleted voters in SIR. A demand has also
[00:06:53] been made to put a stay on the ongoing process of SIR and
[00:06:57] other orders as deemed appropriate by the court
[00:06:59] have also been demanded. The petition has been filed. You
[00:07:03] had come. We hope that justice
[00:07:05] will be served by the Supreme
[00:07:09] Court. The youth across the country are very agitated today.
[00:07:12] Why? Because they know that votes are being stolen.
[00:07:16] It is believed that this petition will be heard
[00:07:20] soon in the Supreme Court. The 10 prayers that the opposition
[00:07:24] has filed, the 10 reliefs that have been sought from the Supreme
[00:07:26] Court, their details are only with NDTV. And
[00:07:30] the biggest demand is that they are saying that all the data,
[00:07:34] documents, records, minutes related to the SIR
[00:07:38] process should be called from the Election
[00:07:41] Commission. They are saying that there should be an audit
[00:07:45] by an independent committee of retired judges of the Supreme
[00:07:49] Court, which should also include technical experts and eminent
[00:07:53] personalities. They are demanding that Form Six
[00:07:56] should be made as it was before, and action should
[00:07:59] be taken against the guilty officers who made the amendments.
[00:08:03] The names of all those whose names have been deleted,
[00:08:06] the reason for deleting their names, should all be made
[00:08:10] public. Meanwhile, before this march,
[00:08:12] Rahul Gandhi held a press conference at the Congress headquarters,
[00:08:16] in which he made serious
[00:08:18] allegations, saying that Gyanesh Kumar himself
[00:08:22] is in contact with us.
[00:08:24] Messages come
[00:08:26] and he is watching this press conference.
[00:08:29] Turn
[00:08:31] approver, you have done
[00:08:33] a crime and frankly,
[00:08:37] you are not the main
[00:08:40] criminal. You have made
[00:08:43] a mistake.
[00:08:47] You are not the mind behind the
[00:08:50] mistake. We are
[00:08:52] after the people
[00:08:56] who are behind what you did. It is very easy for you,
[00:09:00] resign, get out of the way.
[00:09:03] No problem. We might even think of forgiving
[00:09:06] you.
[00:09:09] Because that will be a service to this nation. That will be a service to this...
[00:09:13] Rahul linked the opposition's protest to Shiv Tandav, called it Shiv
[00:09:17] Barat and said that anyone can participate in it. My
[00:09:21] sister tells me that I
[00:09:24] should plan. So I told my sister, you don't
[00:09:28] understand.
[00:09:31] This is Tandav.
[00:09:34] This is Shiva's dance.
[00:09:37] There is no planning in this. The idea is written
[00:09:40] above. That's all
[00:09:44] that needs to be done. No plan
[00:09:48] is needed.
[00:09:50] What do you think? In Akashvani Bhavan, we had made
[00:09:53] a plan. The plan
[00:09:55] was that we would go by bus,
[00:09:58] sit down,
[00:10:03] get arrested. The police would not
[00:10:06] let us go. The plan was changed. What was the result?
[00:10:10] Did it come from a plan
[00:10:13] or a non-plan? No plan is needed. This dance
[00:10:17] is going on. This is Lord Shiva's dance. Anyone
[00:10:20] can come to Shiva's wedding procession. I
[00:10:22] said,
[00:10:26] look, this is Shiva's wedding procession. Anyone
[00:10:29] can come. Any living being can come.
[00:10:33] We will not stop them. The BJP, on the other hand, alleges that
[00:10:37] the Congress is trying to create anarchy and is harassing
[00:10:40] the common people. By creating
[00:10:43] chaos and anarchy,
[00:10:46] they are making a malicious attempt to put India's
[00:10:50] constitutional institutions in the dock.
[00:10:53] It is surprising
[00:10:55] that if they
[00:10:58] win elections, it is their
[00:11:02] valor,
[00:11:05] and if they lose, the EVM is to blame. This is not
[00:11:09] Shiva's wedding procession.
[00:11:11] This is
[00:11:14] a mob
[00:11:16] of hooligans
[00:11:18] who are trying to create
[00:11:21] anarchy on the roads. They only know how
[00:11:25] to spread anarchy, how to create
[00:11:28] instability, how to belittle constitutional
[00:11:32] posts and institutions, and how
[00:11:35] to tarnish India's image around
[00:11:38] the world, how to weaken its image.
[00:11:42] It is unfortunate that the country
[00:11:45] has never seen such an unstable,
[00:11:49] anarchic, unserious leader
[00:11:52] of the opposition's antics and tantrums. The opposition
[00:11:55] is questioning the working style and impartiality
[00:11:59] of the Chief Election Commissioner. The opposition is demanding
[00:12:02] that Gyanesh Kumar be removed immediately. Now a petition
[00:12:07] in the Supreme Court. In Delhi, Siktadev, Jainendra Kumar, Kanika Katiyar,
[00:12:11] Divyankar and Ashish Bhargav along with Manoranjan Bharati,
[00:12:15] NDTV India. A social media post by
[00:12:18] the Kerala Pradesh Congress, which has caused a stir
[00:12:22] in the country's politics. The Congress directly asked
[00:12:25] the CJI to resign, so the BJP called it an open
[00:12:28] threat to the judiciary and the
[00:12:33] Constitution. The matter escalated so much that the Congress
[00:12:37] deleted the post. A social media post by the Kerala
[00:12:41] Congress created a stir in the country's
[00:12:44] politics. From its official handle, the Kerala Congress
[00:12:47] targeted the Chief Justice of India with very sharp
[00:12:51] words. The post read, if the country's
[00:12:54] law and order is not in your hands, then you should
[00:12:58] resign, we will find your replacement.
[00:13:01] As soon as this post came out, there was a stir
[00:13:04] in political circles. This kind of remark against the head
[00:13:08] of the Supreme Court was directly considered an attack on the dignity
[00:13:11] of the judiciary. The BJP said that the Congress has become
[00:13:15] shameless and brazen. Now they want the resignation
[00:13:19] of Chief Justice Suryakant ji. Its meaning
[00:13:22] has become clear and that too by the Kerala Congress, where
[00:13:26] they have a coalition government with the Muslim
[00:13:29] League and Rahul ji and Priyanka
[00:13:33] Gandhi have both represented it. This means
[00:13:36] it is now absolutely clear that the Congress is completely
[00:13:39] a Muslim League Maoist Congress and
[00:13:45] completely shameless
[00:13:47] and brazen
[00:13:51] in creating anarchy in India by destroying
[00:13:55] after Gyanesh Kumar, every constitutional institution and creating
[00:13:58] anarchy on the streets of India. The Kerala Congress
[00:14:02] has tweeted from its handle that if law and order
[00:14:06] is not in your domain, then resign and go
[00:14:09] home, someone else will take over
[00:14:12] the post. So
[00:14:16] now the time has come for the CJI to resign.
[00:14:19] Look, the Supreme Court is a constitutional
[00:14:22] institution,
[00:14:55] they have become against
[00:14:57] it too. Surrounded from all sides and fearing legal
[00:15:01] action, the Kerala Congress backed down. As soon as
[00:15:05] the controversy escalated, the Congress immediately deleted the controversial
[00:15:08] post from its social media handle. However,
[00:15:12] by then screenshots of this post had gone
[00:15:16] viral. Now it remains to be seen whether this controversy
[00:15:19] will stop after the post is deleted or
[00:15:22] will the BJP open a nationwide
[00:15:25] front against the Congress. Bureau report NDTV
[00:15:28] India. The Jantar Mantar road, which has seen the country's
[00:15:32] politics change, many governments being formed and broken,
[00:15:36] has now been excluded from the list of protests. On the recommendation
[00:15:40] of the Home Ministry's committee, Delhi Police has declared
[00:15:44] this high-security VVIP area of the zone a complete
[00:15:59] no-protest zone. And three new places have been given
[00:16:03] for protests. Jantar Mantar in Delhi, a place
[00:16:09] where people from all corners of the country used to come
[00:16:12] and raise their voices, but now silence will
[00:16:15] prevail here. According to the new order signed
[00:16:19] by Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar, changes
[00:16:22] have been made to the old standing order of April
[00:16:25] 28, 2022. After the report of the high-level
[00:16:29] committee of the Home Ministry, Jantar Mantar has been denotified,
[00:16:32] meaning removed from the list of official protest
[00:16:36] sites. In short, no protests will be possible
[00:16:39] at Jantar Mantar because it is not a protest site.
[00:16:43] Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar has denotified
[00:16:47] it and three places have been named where protests can
[00:16:50] be held under an SOP. There will be some conditions
[00:16:53] under which protests will be held. However, a detailed
[00:16:57] order will come later. The CJP wanted to protest
[00:17:00] here, but the Delhi Police did not give any permission
[00:17:03] for now. Meanwhile, this
[00:17:05] order has come and it has
[00:17:07] been said that Jantar Mantar is no longer a protest
[00:17:11] site. So the question is, where will the voice of democracy
[00:17:15] now resonate? For this, the administration has authorized
[00:17:18] three new large grounds in Delhi. Now any dharna
[00:17:21] or protest in Delhi can only be held in these
[00:17:25] three places: Ramlila Maidan, Central Delhi, Burari
[00:17:29] Maidan, North Delhi, CBD Ground, Shahdara,
[00:17:32] East Delhi. So these
[00:17:33] are the three places
[00:17:39] where permission to protest will be granted. The first
[00:17:43] place is CBD Ground, which is near Dwarka, in West
[00:17:46] Delhi. The second is Burari Ground, which is in East
[00:17:50] Delhi. And the third is this historic Ramlila
[00:17:53] Maidan in Central Delhi. The history of this historic
[00:17:56] Ramlila Maidan is more than 100 years old,
[00:18:00] and in 1911, Ramlila performances
[00:18:03] started here, and after that, every leader,
[00:18:06] whether it was Deendayal Upadhyaya or Indira Gandhi,
[00:18:10] got a political platform here, when Bangladesh
[00:18:13] was liberated, Indira Gandhi held a huge public meeting
[00:18:17] here, and the celebration took place here. After that,
[00:18:21] Ramlila Maidan was also in the news during the JP movement.
[00:18:24] If we talk about the last decades, Anna Hazare's
[00:18:28] historic protest took place here, after
[00:18:31] that Ramdev's protest took place here and after
[00:18:35] that he was also lathi-charged,
[00:18:37] so Ramlila Maidan has been known as a very political
[00:18:41] ground in Delhi. Let us tell
[00:18:44] you about these three grounds in Delhi.
[00:18:48] CBD Ground, this ground is in the Karkardoma and
[00:18:51] Shahdara area of East Delhi. It is a large
[00:18:55] open area near a commercial and community hub where
[00:18:59] metro connectivity is also available. It is a large
[00:19:02] open and flat ground which is used for large-scale
[00:19:06] fairs, religious events, and now administratively
[00:19:11] protests. Burari Ground, in the year
[00:19:14] 2020, this became a major focal point
[00:19:18] of the farmers' movement against the three agricultural
[00:19:22] laws. The Delhi Police had given official permission
[00:19:26] to the farmers to protest peacefully in this ground.
[00:19:29] Ramlila Maidan of Delhi, 1965
[00:19:32] Jai Jawan Jai Kisan slogan, 1972
[00:19:36] Bangladesh Victory
[00:20:07] The voices of the people reached the government.
[00:20:10] Changing the protest site of Jantar Mantar
[00:20:14] will not work. Three new
[00:20:17] protest sites have been given in Delhi.
[00:20:20] If they want to strengthen democracy, they should
[00:20:24] create more places for protests. Changing the place
[00:20:28] will not save any government. The government's
[00:20:31] theft cannot be saved by changing the protest
[00:20:35] site. The government should not become so dictatorial.
[00:20:39] You want to crush every dissenting voice.
[00:20:42] You want to remove every such place from
[00:20:46] the map where the voices to save democracy
[00:20:50] in this country were raised. I think this is a very
[00:20:53] cowardly act of this government. And the government will have
[00:20:57] to reconsider its decision sooner or later. You will
[00:21:01] remove one Jantar Mantar, every corner of the country
[00:21:04] will become Jantar Mantar, then what will you do? It happened
[00:21:08] much earlier in Patna. You also saw that SIR started
[00:21:11] first in Bihar. At that time also we had protested
[00:21:15] this process. We knew there was something fishy. Now
[00:21:19] it has come out. Now they will not escape. Ban protests
[00:21:23] in all of Delhi, ban them in all of India. But wherever
[00:21:26] an Indian steps out of his house, it will become a protest
[00:21:30] site. Today, such a level of anger is in the minds
[00:21:33] of the people against this government. You cancel everything,
[00:21:36] sir, no protests will be possible, but protests will still
[00:21:40] happen. On the other hand, the administration clearly
[00:21:43] states that it is very important to save millions
[00:21:46] of working people from hours of traffic jams every
[00:21:50] day and maintain VVIP security at an international
[00:21:53] level in a metropolitan
[00:21:58] city like Delhi. Bureau report NDTV India, with
[00:22:02] Mukesh Singh Senagar and Ravish Ranjan Shukla from Delhi.
[00:22:06] The BJP has launched a nationwide protest
[00:22:09] against the Congress over the allegations of sexual
[00:22:15] MP and former JNU
[00:22:15] professor Bimol Akoijam. Today in Delhi, BJP
[00:23:50] women's wing workers marched to gherao
[00:23:52] the Congress headquarters under the 'Nari Shakti
[00:23:56] Hunkar March' (Women's Power Roar March).
[00:23:59] Our presence is at DDU Marg and the protest
[00:24:03] by BJP women MPs is continuously going on.
[00:24:07] You can see how they are holding placards in their
[00:24:10] hands and protesting against Angomcha Bimol. A complaint
[00:24:14] was filed against him regarding a sexual
[00:24:17] harassment case. 11 such
[00:24:30] victim students of JNU had complained that
[00:24:33] the allegations made were completely true. The allegations
[00:24:37] were also investigated by internal committee
[00:24:40] reports. BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj,
[00:24:44] while talking to NDTV, said that the way Congress
[00:24:48] maintained silence regarding
[00:27:32] Congress MP Vimol Akoijam shows their complete
[00:27:36] protection. He is a former professor and Congress MP
[00:27:39] and there is a serious allegation of sexual
[00:27:43] harassment against him. 11 female students of JNU
[00:27:46] have made this allegation against him. There are allegations
[00:27:50] of indecent comments during class,
[00:27:53] inappropriate actions and sexual favors
[00:27:57] in exchange for marks. Injustice will not be tolerated.
[00:28:00] MP Vimol Akoijam will not be tolerated. The allegations
[00:29:51] I am Sujarta Kukreti with you and the
[00:29:54] mic is on for you. Today, on the big
[00:29:58] news, I am turning on the mic. And
[00:30:02] first of all, the news I am bringing for you
[00:30:06] is Tandav or coup? Rahul Gandhi, Leader
[00:30:09] of Opposition, is on the streets demanding the resignation
[00:30:14] today he said that this is not a movement,
[00:30:18] but Shiv's Tandav. The BJP is saying
[00:30:22] that this is not Tandav, but just anarchy,
[00:30:25] and there is a big threat to the country's
[00:30:28] democracy from this. Today, Mike On will discuss
[00:30:32] this. Along with this, after CEC,
[00:30:35] is it CJI's turn now? Rahul
[00:30:39] Gandhi and Congress party, after
