00:00:02On false charges, then it's fine. Right? When there were more than 2.5
00:00:05lakh students at the protest,
00:00:09were they also on social media? Were they on social media or was that image
00:00:13created by AI? Today, today the same youth came and took Dharmendra
00:00:17the heritage Pradhan's resignation, so today Narendra Modi
00:00:20ji understood, the Central Government understood that now
00:00:25was also held with Meta officials it is necessary to suppress the voice of social media. Secondly, secondly, let me make
00:00:29a point.
00:00:37has also strengthened the domestic and strict measures to protect the interests
00:00:57are not working as expected
00:01:00Let's go, and remind Vandana ji that she is talking about a protest today,
00:01:03but just two days ago, a court order came out about another
00:01:07protest. Tahir Hussain, who used to be a leader of their party,
00:01:11has received life imprisonment. Why did he get life imprisonment?
00:01:15Green Energy Corridor, PLI for solar PV modules, Whatever he posted,
00:01:17and BCD exemption protecting those who stood in the way of the protest, whatever he did,
00:01:20today the court has ruled
00:01:22On National Handloom Day, Prime Minister that you are responsible for the murder of an IB officer.
00:01:25He has received life imprisonment. So, today, time, but
00:01:28I am saying again, a bar has been given, a legal seal has been given. We need to think
00:01:32seriously about this, and social media will not
00:01:35determine India's political discourse. No company sitting
00:01:39outside will determine it. The 140 crore people of the country will determine
00:01:42it, and the 140 crore people of the country should see
00:01:46what they want to see, instead of companies sitting abroad
00:01:49paying money to determine it. This should stop. That's all for today, thank you everyone.
00:01:53Namaskar.

00:05:06On the issues of theft of offerings at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya
00:05:09and police action against protesting students in Delhi, several opposition parties,
00:05:12including the Congress and Samajwadi Party, created an uproar in the House today,
00:05:16just like in the previous days. Due to this, the proceedings of the Lok Sabha
00:05:19were adjourned for the rest of the day after one adjournment.
00:05:23Since the beginning of the monsoon session, Question Hour and Zero Hour
00:05:26have not been held for a single day. When the House proceedings
00:05:30began at 11 AM, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla
00:05:33mentioned the anniversary of the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima
00:05:37and Nagasaki in Japan, and then the members
00:05:40observed silence for some time to pay tribute to the victims.
00:05:43After the Lok Sabha paid tribute to the victims of the atomic bomb attacks
00:05:47on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, opposition members started creating a ruckus.
00:05:51While Samajwadi Party MPs were prominently raising the issue
00:05:54of alleged theft of offerings at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya,
00:05:58Congress members were heard reiterating their demand
00:06:02for a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah regarding police action against protesting students
00:06:05in Delhi. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla urged members of the Congress
00:06:09and other opposition parties to let the Question Hour proceed.
00:06:13As the uproar did not subside, the Lok Sabha Speaker
00:06:17adjourned the meeting at 11:30 AM till 2 PM. When the meeting
00:06:20resumed at 2 PM, opposition members came near the Speaker's dais
00:06:24and started shouting slogans. Amidst the uproar, Finance Minister
00:06:27Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill,
00:06:312026 for discussion and passage.
00:06:35Presiding Officer Sandhya Rai appealed to the opposition members to return
00:06:39to their seats and cooperate in conducting the proceedings, saying
00:06:42that their behavior was not appropriate and not in line with the dignity
00:06:46of the Lok Sabha. As the uproar did not subside, the Presiding Officer adjourned
00:06:50the meeting till 11 AM on Friday. Due to the uproar by the opposition,
00:06:54the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026 could not
00:06:57be discussed. The House rejected the statutory resolution
00:07:01of RSP MP NK Premchandran to disapprove the ordinance
00:07:05issued in June in this regard. The House
00:07:08also rejected the amendments of several opposition members, including K Radhakrishnan, Rajesh
00:07:12Ranjan, Pappu Yadav, and Premchandran. After this, the bill was passed by voice vote.
00:07:15This bill proposes to make it easier for fund managers
00:07:19to come to India, while foreign investment
00:07:23will not be considered money invested in business in India. This
00:07:27bill gives the government the authority to allow banks and
00:07:30other service providers to levy fees on payments made through Unified
00:07:34Payment Interface and other notified electronic methods.
00:07:38The purpose of this bill is to remove that existing legal provision
00:07:42which
00:08:12NITI Aayog, in its report published in September 2025,
00:08:16concluded that the Smart Cities Mission is in line with national
00:08:19urban priorities and citizens' needs, and also
00:08:23makes a significant contribution to achieving several Sustainable
00:08:25Development Goals of the United Nations. He said that according to this
00:08:29report, 93% of the 8063
00:08:33projects under the mission have been completed,
00:08:36and all Integrated Command and Control
00:08:39Centers have been established 100%. As a result,
00:08:43significant improvement has been recorded in the quality of urban life,
00:08:47mobility, safety, and environmental outcomes.
00:08:50Manohar Lal said that under the Smart Cities Mission, since its
00:08:53inception, 8064 projects
00:08:55costing ₹1,64,811 crore have been started.

00:09:09crore have been completed to 97%. All
00:09:13Integrated Command and Control Centers have been established
00:09:16in all 100 smart cities. According to the minister, to accelerate
00:09:20the progress of projects under the Smart Cities Mission, the Ministry of Housing and Urban
00:09:24Affairs adopted a multi-level review mechanism.
00:09:28At the national level, the implementation of the mission was monitored
00:09:32by a high-level committee chaired by the Secretary of the Ministry.
00:09:35This was important information related to today's Lok Sabha proceedings.
00:09:39And now let's tell you what was special
00:09:42in today's proceedings in the Upper House of Parliament,
00:09:46the Rajya Sabha. Opposition members in the Rajya Sabha today
00:09:49insisted on a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the theft of offerings
00:09:52at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and police action against protesting students.
00:09:56Due to this, the proceedings of the Upper House were repeatedly
00:09:59disrupted. Amidst the uproar, the House
00:10:02returned the Appropriation Bill to the Lok Sabha after a brief discussion,
00:10:06under which the government asked Parliament for approval
00:10:10for additional expenditure
00:10:25incurred in the financial year 2022-23. However, in the meantime, members
00:10:28of the Congress and some other opposition parties started shouting slogans
00:10:32demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the theft of offerings at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya
00:10:36and police action against protesting students. Some members came
00:10:39forward from their seats. The Chairman repeatedly urged
00:10:43the agitated members to return to their seats.
00:10:47Amidst the uproar, during the Zero Hour, BJP's Raghav Chadha raised the issue
00:10:50of alleged cut money given to doctors by diagnostic centers,
00:10:54demanding a ban on it
00:10:58of patients. And let us tell you that Telugu
00:11:02Desam Party's Masan Rao Yadav Bida raised the issue of representation
00:11:05of Other Backward Classes in government departments, saying that
00:11:08despite the provision of 27% reservation, the representation
00:11:11of OBCs in various ministries and departments of the central government
00:11:15has not reached the expected level. BJP's
00:11:19Sadanand Mahalu Sheth Tanawade said
00:11:22that after the closure of mining activities in Goa in 2012,
00:11:25the state's economy and the livelihood of thousands
00:11:28of families were adversely affected. He urged the center
00:11:32to take necessary steps to revive the mining sector in a sustainable
00:11:36and transparent manner. And let us tell you
00:11:39that during this time, opposition members continued
00:11:42to create an uproar demanding a statement from the Home Minister.
00:11:46The Chairman appealed to them to return to their seats and allow
00:11:49the proceedings to continue. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju also objected to the continuous
00:11:53protest by the opposition. Rijiju also said that Leader of Opposition
00:11:56Mallikarjun Kharge brings something new to write every day and
00:12:00also reads it in the House. Congress members demanded that Mallikarjun
00:12:04Kharge be allowed to speak. When the Chairman allowed Kharge
00:12:07to speak, members of the ruling party opposed it, after which
00:12:11the Chairman adjourned the House proceedings at 11:25 AM till 12 PM.
00:12:15When the meeting resumed at 12 PM, Chairman Radha Krishnan
00:12:19started the Question Hour, and in the meantime, opposition members
00:12:23started creating a ruckus over their demands. They also demanded that the Leader of Opposition
00:12:26be allowed to speak. The Chairman said that if the opposition members
00:12:30remained silent, he would allow the Leader of Opposition
00:12:34to speak after the supplementary questions. After the members became silent,
00:12:38the Chairman asked Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge to speak.
00:12:41Members of the ruling party objected to this, which led to a heated argument
00:12:45between members of the ruling party and the opposition. The opposition
00:12:49remained firm on its demand that Home Minister Amit Shah come to the House
00:12:53and make a statement on the issue of police
00:12:55action against protesters. And Mallikarjun Kharge, referring to the comment
00:12:59of Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, said that it is his right to speak in Parliament.
00:13:03He said that it is his right to decide when to speak and what to speak.
00:13:07And about this, should he now ask the Parliamentary Affairs Minister?
00:13:10Mallikarjun Kharge asked the Chair to ask
00:13:16and give a clarification. He said, "We want a discussion." The Chairman
00:13:20asked Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to apprise the Home Minister
00:13:23of the sentiments of the opposition. Amidst the uproar, the Chairman tried to conduct the Question Hour,
00:13:27but due to the noise, he adjourned the House proceedings
00:13:31at 12:30 PM till 2:15 PM.
00:13:34And when the meeting resumed at 2:15 PM, opposition members
00:13:37in the House again reiterated their demand for a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah
00:13:41regarding the theft of offerings at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and police action against protesting students.
00:13:45Members of the ruling party opposed this.
00:13:48Deputy Chairman Harivansh told the agitated members that an important bill
00:13:52had to be
00:13:55passed and therefore order had to be maintained in the House, but
00:13:58as the uproar continued, he adjourned the meeting within a minute
00:14:01till 2:45 PM. After three adjournments,
00:14:05let us tell you that when the Rajya Sabha meeting resumed at 2:45 PM,
00:14:09Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Appropriation Bill
00:14:13number three for discussion and return. During the brief discussion
00:14:16on the bill, members of the Congress and some other opposition parties walked out of the House
00:14:20demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah regarding police action against protesting students.
00:14:24Responding to the discussion, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that the government has brought
00:14:28these supplementary demands for grants
00:14:31for additional expenditure in the year ending March 31, 2023.
00:14:34She said that the government has brought this additional budget
00:14:38on the recommendation of the Public Accounts Committee, and the PAC is chaired
00:14:41by the Leader of the Opposition. The objective of the bill is to authorize
00:14:45the withdrawal of funds from the Consolidated Fund of India for those expenses
00:14:49that were incurred on certain services during the financial year ending March 31, 2023,
00:14:52and exceeded the amount sanctioned
00:14:55for that year. After the Finance Minister's reply, the House returned this bill
00:14:58by voice vote, and the Lok Sabha has already
00:15:02passed it. Thereafter, members, with the permission of the Chair, raised various
00:15:06issues of public importance through special mentions. After the special mentions, Presiding Officer Ghanshyam
00:15:10Tiwari adjourned the meeting for the day at 4:30 PM.

00:18:21The student movement in Jharkhand
00:18:27against irregularities in competitive examinations continued for the 13th
00:18:31day, and the issue was also raised in the Assembly. The students, who have declared
00:18:34an all-out war, put forward several key
00:18:38demands, including the cancellation of disputed
00:18:40examinations before talks with the government.
00:18:47RSS chief Dr. Mohan Bhagwat interacted with youth

00:19:20On the eve of National Handloom Day, Prime Minister Narendra
00:19:24Modi appealed to the countrymen to adopt Indian handloom
00:19:27and support weavers. In his video message
00:19:31on Instagram, the Prime Minister said that August 7th
00:19:35is associated with the legacy of the Swadeshi movement.
00:19:38He reminded that on this day, the Swadeshi
00:19:41movement gave a new direction to the country's freedom struggle,
00:19:45and millions of people resolved to boycott foreign
00:19:49goods and adopt indigenous products.
00:19:52The Prime Minister said that National Handloom Day
00:19:55is not just a celebration, but an opportunity to honor
00:19:58the hard work and talent of millions of weaver
00:20:02families in the country. He appealed to people to buy handloom
00:20:06products, showcase their diversity and quality to the world,
00:20:09and inspire others by sharing videos based
00:20:12on handloom on social media. The Prime Minister said
00:20:16that in building Aatmanirbhar Bharat, promoting local products
00:20:20and economically empowering small weaver families
00:20:23is the responsibility of all of us. He extended his wishes
00:20:26to the countrymen on National Handloom Day and urged more and more people
00:20:30to join this campaign.
00:20:33Friends, we must not
00:20:38forget August 7, 1905,
00:20:42when the Swadeshi movement
00:20:45for the country's independence began. The Swadeshi movement
00:20:49began.
00:22:50Both leaders reviewed the progress made so far under the India-Israel special
00:22:53strategic partnership and reiterated their commitment to further expand
00:22:57bilateral cooperation in various sectors. During the talks, both leaders
00:23:00also exchanged views on recent developments in West Asia.
00:23:04Both discussed regional situations and agreed
00:23:07to maintain mutual contact. According to the Prime Minister's Office,
00:23:11India and Israel reiterated their resolve to further advance
00:23:15cooperation in various areas of mutual interest and to give new strength
00:23:18to the relations between the two countries.
00:23:20The Union Cabinet
00:23:25took two important decisions to strengthen the country's infrastructure
00:23:28and energy sector. On one hand,
00:23:32to promote the production of biogas in India,
00:23:35the Govardhan Yojana costing ₹23,731 crore
00:23:38has been approved, and on the other hand, the Union Cabinet also approved
00:23:41the development of a four-lane Guwahati-Tezpur corridor
00:23:45to boost connectivity and infrastructure in Assam.
00:23:49To promote biogas production
00:23:53in the country, the Modi government has approved the Govardhan Yojana
00:23:57worth ₹23,731 crore. Through this scheme,
00:24:01there will be six key pillars, from setting up new biogas plants
00:24:04to purchase guarantees. The government will also support
00:24:08setting up plants, including credit guarantees,
00:24:11for 10 years under this scheme. An assured off-take, that is,
00:24:15a guarantee to buy, has been given in this.
00:24:19Second is price stability. The price of global oil,
00:24:22the price of gas keeps fluctuating, so that biogas
00:24:25does not have to face all that price volatility,
00:24:28an assured price system has been created for this,
00:24:32and support will be provided for the capital expenditure
00:24:35involved in setting up biogas plants. Support for CapEx,
00:24:38and the fourth pillar is pipeline infrastructure.
00:24:42That is, to support the pipeline network needed
00:24:48to consumers, the fourth pillar
00:24:52has been included in this scheme. In another
00:24:56important decision, to strengthen
00:24:58the 135.87 km long Guwahati-Tezpur corridor
00:25:01on NH15 in Assam
00:25:04has been approved. For this, a proposal
00:25:07to build four lanes at a total cost of ₹8,970 crore
00:25:10has also been approved. This is the Bahitya Chariali,
00:25:14that is, after exiting Guwahati, from there to Tezpur,
00:25:18which is located on the North Bank of Guwahati,
00:25:21I mean, on the North Bank of Brahmaputra.
00:25:25This is its project, and
00:25:28this will further connect
00:25:32many parts of Arunachal and then Nagaland.
00:25:36This will become a very important
00:25:38highway. This four-lane highway
00:25:42is 135 kilometers long, and about ₹8,970 crore
00:25:46will be invested in this.
00:25:49In the third term of the Modi government, the pace of infrastructure development
00:25:52projects has accelerated, which has not only boosted
00:25:56the pace of development but also created many employment opportunities.
00:26:00In terms of all development parameters, in recent years,
00:26:09the student movement in Jharkhand against irregularities in competitive examinations
00:26:13is gaining momentum. The students, who have been protesting
00:26:16for 13 consecutive days, their anger has now become a major challenge for the government.
00:26:20On one hand, the opposition is cornering the government inside
00:26:23the assembly, and on the other hand, students outside have declared an all-out war.
00:26:27The question arises why parties that were vocal about paper leaks
00:26:31and recruitment scams when in opposition become silent after coming to power.
00:26:35The 13th day
00:26:40and the students' anger is at its peak.
00:26:43The streets of Ranchi are bearing witness that
00:26:47the patience of the youth has broken. The movement against alleged
00:26:51irregularities in JPSC and JSSC examinations
00:26:54is continuously gaining momentum. Meanwhile, on August 7,
00:26:58under the banner of AISA (All India Students Association),
00:27:02the Assembly
00:27:32In JPSC, in SSC, in CGL, and
00:27:36reforms, will have to be done. The voices
00:27:39of the students sitting on the road have now reached inside
00:27:43the Assembly. On the first day of the budget session, opposition MLAs created a ruckus
00:27:46over alleged irregularities in JPSC, JSSC examinations.
00:27:50BJP, AJSU, and LJP MLAs sat on a dharna
00:27:54at the main gate of the Assembly and demanded a high-level
00:27:57inquiry into alleged irregularities in JPSC, JSSC examinations.
00:28:01Leader of Opposition
00:28:33the result of the inquiry should also come out. Amidst this whole development,
00:28:37questions are also being raised on the attitude of political parties.
00:28:41When the issue of paper leak and recruitment scam is raised at Jantar Mantar
00:28:44in Delhi, then parties like Congress, RJD, and Samajwadi Party
00:28:47appear at the forefront in support of the students.
00:28:50But their activism on the student movement
00:28:54in Jharkhand is under question. The opposition alleges that upon coming to power,
00:28:58instead of sensitivity on student issues, they are resorting to explanations
00:29:01and inquiry committees. JMM is still struggling
00:29:04to differentiate between the movements in Jharkhand and Delhi.
00:29:08The movement in Delhi and the Jharkhand movement
00:29:11are completely different. Students in Delhi
00:29:15kept protesting, for 25-30 days, no
00:29:19action was taken. When there was pressure
00:29:22from the opposition, the Parliament was surrounded, and all this happened,
00:29:25only then they were ready for talks and whatever action was taken. Here,
00:29:29work is being done in the interest of students from day one. For 13-14 days,
00:29:33the Jharkhand government remained silent.
00:29:36And Rahul Gandhi ji,
00:29:40he was completely separate from this. You went to Jantar Mantar,
00:29:43but you don't care about the thousands
00:29:46of students in Jharkhand who have been sitting for the last 13-14 days?
00:29:50What is the reason that those who talk
00:29:54in the interest of students decide to protest,
00:29:57then now, Rahul ji, Congress
00:30:00party, you are there, so where did your ethics
00:30:04go? Why are you not taking action there? Why are you not asking
00:30:08the Chief Minister to resign? Why are you not withdrawing
00:30:11your support? Don't have double standards,
00:30:13Rahul
00:30:15Baba, you will have to have one standard, Leader of Opposition.
00:30:19In Jharkhand's politics, this student movement is no longer
00:30:23just an issue of recruitment examinations, but has also become
00:30:27a test of the government's credibility and accountability.
00:30:30If the government does not restore trust soon, then this movement
00:30:34could prove to be a major challenge for it on both political
00:30:38and administrative fronts. Diwakar Kumar's report from Ranchi with bureau inputs,
00:30:41DD News.
00:30:44The struggle of students in Ranchi is gaining strength from the determination
00:30:47of eight protesting students who are on an indefinite hunger strike.
00:30:51The students, who are on hunger strike and sticking to their demands,
00:30:55say that their struggle will continue until they get justice.
00:30:58Let's see the story of those eight youths who chose the most
00:31:02difficult path to raise their voice. I started alone
00:31:06towards my destination, but people kept joining
00:31:10and the caravan kept growing. Something similar happened with Jaipal
00:31:13Singh Munda of Ranchi.
00:31:45If there is a genuine demand in the area,
00:31:48then we will continue this movement
00:31:51with a hunger strike, and we have called for a march
00:31:55to the Assembly on August 10.
00:31:57The issue of irregularities in competitive examinations in Jharkhand
00:32:01is resonating across the country. The methods of student agitation
00:32:05are also very democratic. Here, the agitation is continuing
00:32:08peacefully. Mahendra Prasad Prem Nayak and
00:32:12some Mahto are also conveying their voice to the government by giving up food.
00:32:16We are unable to extract Jharkhand, the reason for which is that all jobs
00:32:19are sold for 20, 25, 30 lakh, 50 lakh. This is a living example.
00:32:23We want to tell the government, Mr. Hemant Soren, that if you don't listen to our demands,
00:32:27we demand your resignation. And slowly, we will continue to advance
00:32:31our movement. In all the exams, our vacancies are being sold directly
00:32:35and given into the hands of brokers. And blacklisted companies
00:32:39are being sent to Jharkhand, and exams are being conducted by them.
00:32:42The daughters of Jharkhand are also not behind in this fight for justice.
00:32:46From the very first day, girls have been actively participating
00:32:49in this movement. With each passing day,
00:32:53the caravan is growing. Now, Habiba and Savita Kumari
00:32:57have also taken a step further and started a hunger strike.
00:33:01Until the government accepts our demands, because our
00:33:04rights have been violated, if they do not return our rights
00:33:08with interest, we will not eat anything here,
00:33:11no matter what happens. This movement is also sending a message
00:33:15to the country. The month of August always ignites a new spirit
00:33:19of patriotism, and during the Tiranga Yatra in Ranchi, these students
00:33:22also showed that spirit. The protest site is also
00:33:25filled with patriotic songs.
00:33:27The
00:33:36are also demanding a CBI inquiry into all the exams conducted
00:33:40in the last five-six years. Now, in this student movement,
00:33:44the caravan of their hunger strike is continuously growing,
00:33:47and now eight students have joined this hunger strike.
00:33:51With my colleagues Vikas and Saurav, I am Diwakar Kumar, Doordarshan News,
00:33:54Ranchi. In Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala,
00:33:58hundreds of workers of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha staged a strong protest.
00:34:02This protest by the youth wing of BJP was in support of the Public Service Commission
00:34:06rank holders who are on a hunger strike against the government.
00:34:09A large number of workers and candidates marched towards the Secretariat,
00:34:13but the police stopped them by putting up barricades. When the protesters tried to cross
00:34:17the barricades, the situation became tense. To disperse the crowd,
00:34:20the police first used water cannons and then also resorted to lathi charge.
00:34:24During the protest, there were also reports of several workers and candidates being detained.
00:34:28Actually, the Lower Primary School teachers and
00:34:31candidates included in the Kerala Public Service Commission's
00:34:34rank list have been on a hunger strike in front of the Secretariat
00:34:37for many days. The candidates on hunger strike allege
00:34:41that despite passing the exam and their names appearing in the rank list,
00:34:45the government is not giving them joining. It is also alleged that
00:34:48the government has started giving backdoor joining by sidelining eligible candidates.
00:34:51Now, the protesters allege that the government is playing with the future of the youth.
00:34:55They have alleged that both CPM and Congress are reacting to these issues
00:34:59with a double standard and adopting a double standard
00:35:03and usurping the rights of the youth. However, the Kerala
00:35:06PSC has released the schedule for interviews and other recruitment processes
00:35:10for the month of August, but the dissatisfaction of the candidates who have come out on the streets
00:35:14is not stopping. From social media to the streets,
00:35:18the youth have only one question: if their name is in the merit list,
00:35:21when will they get the appointment letter?
00:35:29RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat interacted with the youth of Gen Z
00:35:32and Gen Alpha generations in Mumbai. During this, he expressed
00:35:36his views on issues like the Gen Z movement in Delhi,
00:35:39the education system and the use of social media.
00:35:43Referring to the Delhi movement, Mohan Bhagwat said that in a democracy,
00:35:47protest is also a way
00:35:50to build consensus. Many types of ideas come forward,
00:35:54and consensus is built through dialogue. If, for various reasons,
00:35:58the matter is not heard,
00:36:02not
00:36:04Agitation
00:36:09is also a form of dialogue.
00:36:10We are talking
00:36:14here, it's understood, okay? If not,
00:36:17our debate
00:36:20will continue.
00:36:23You are in some difficulty, or I am in some difficulty. It's
00:36:27in your hands, in my hands to resolve it, and if it's not happening,
00:36:31I will shout. I will bring you there.
00:36:35Do this first. It's urgent,
00:36:37I'll say. In democracy,
00:36:40protest is also a way to build consensus.
00:36:44A lot of views come together, and consensus is
00:36:47evolved after discussion.
00:36:50The discussion may happen through dialogue.
00:36:54Due to various reasons, if that thing
00:36:57is not heard, agitation can be resorted to.
00:37:00But all this has to be done
00:37:03to evolve the consensus,
00:37:07not to create divisions.
00:37:11RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said during this dialogue program
00:37:14that Gen Z and Gen Alpha are more honest
00:37:18than the current generation. Meanwhile, speaking on primary education,
00:37:21the RSS chief stressed that education
00:37:25should not be commercialized. This
00:37:58prudence is needed. In social media,
00:38:00the technology is such that even if your
00:38:04picture is made, words can be put in our mouth
00:38:07with sound, and everything can be shown like that. Fake videos and all
00:38:11come. So, after knowing this,
00:38:15when using social media, do not trust
00:38:18without verification from an authentic
00:38:21source. Union Home Minister Amit Shah
00:38:25met a 16-member delegation of the Christian community
00:38:28in New Delhi. The delegation, led by the Joint Minority
00:38:32Action Forum, apprised the Home Minister
00:38:35of issues related to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA)
00:38:39and the concerns of the Christian community. In the meeting,
00:38:41matters related to FCRA
00:38:44were discussed in detail. The delegation included MP
00:38:48and President of the Joint Minority Action Forum, P. Wilson,
00:38:51convenor of the forum, John Semol, along with senior religious leaders
00:38:55and representatives of many churches and Christian organizations.
00:38:59Mizoram Chief Minister Lal
00:39:02Duhoma met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi
00:39:06and shared his concerns over the proposed FCRA
00:39:09Amendment Bill 2026. The Chief Minister
00:39:13called for a reconsideration of some provisions of the Bill, stating
00:39:17that they could affect the activities of foreign-aided social
00:39:20and religious organizations in the state. He requested consideration of the amendments
00:39:24keeping in mind the special circumstances of Mizoram.
00:39:57the untold story of courage, strategy, and indomitable
00:40:01valor, Netflix series 'Operation White Ocean'
00:40:04premiered today at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.
00:40:08On this occasion, the cast, producers, directors, and
00:40:12many distinguished guests of the series were present. During the program,
00:40:15a special video message from Defense Minister Rajnath Singh was also released,
00:40:19in which he saluted the bravery and sacrifice of the Indian Air Force
00:40:23and called such presentations an important medium to convey
00:40:27the country's military history to the new generation.
00:40:30This series is an attempt to bring
00:40:33the story of the historic Operation White Ocean, launched
00:40:37by the Indian Air Force during the 1999 Kargil War, to the audience.
00:40:40The
00:40:43Indian Air Force had changed
00:40:46with Operation White Ocean. You all have made an effort
00:40:50to preserve it through this web series and to bring it
00:40:53to the next generation. Bringing the intensity
00:40:58of Kargil to a global stage like Netflix
00:41:01is a big deal in itself. Bringing it to the big screen
00:41:04with complete authenticity and sensitivity
00:41:08is a very challenging
00:41:12task in itself. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman
00:41:15has retorted to the Congress's allegations regarding MDR charges
00:41:19on UPI. Senior Congress leader and
00:41:23MP Jairam Ramesh had shared a post on a social media platform
00:41:26and made serious allegations against the Modi government,
00:41:30saying that the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill
00:41:342026, brought by the government, abolishes the statutory guarantee
00:41:37under which UPI transactions were kept completely
00:41:41free of charge until now. This amendment paves the way
00:41:44for applying Merchant Discount Rate to all types of digital payments
00:41:48in the country in the future. In response to this, the Finance Minister
00:41:52has termed these claims of Congress as false rumors and misleading.
00:41:55In her message, she wrote that Merchant Discount Rate
00:41:59is applicable only to merchants and not to end consumers or customers.
00:42:02This system will support banks and fintech companies
00:42:06to invest more in infrastructure, innovation, and security,
00:42:10which will ultimately benefit all UPI users.
00:42:13The Finance Minister stated that no decision has been taken
00:42:17regarding MDR yet by the NPCI-led UPI and Services
00:42:21Steering Committee. This process will move forward
00:42:24only after the passage of the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill 2026
00:42:28by Parliament, which proposes an amendment to Section
00:42:3110A of the Payment and Settlement Systems Act.
00:42:35The Finance Minister, taking a dig at the Congress party, said
00:42:39that if the Congress party had constructively participated
00:42:42in the proceedings of Parliament, then when this Bill was placed
00:42:46on the floor of the House, all these issues could have been discussed in detail
00:42:49within the House.
00:42:54Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, in the C.D. Deshmukh
00:42:57Lecture at the National Council of Applied Economic Research in New Delhi,
00:43:01called the vision of developed India a national priority.
00:43:05She said that developed India is not just a goal to increase per capita income,
00:43:08but it is an India where there is zero
00:43:12poverty, every citizen gets quality education and accessible
00:43:16healthcare services, youth get skills and respectable employment,
00:43:19women participate equally in the economy,
00:43:22and farmers play a leading role in making India the food basket
00:43:26of the world. In
00:43:29this year's budget, Viksit Bharat is not an
00:43:32abstract aspiration or per
00:43:36capita income to grow. It's a nation
00:43:41where there is zero poverty, 100% quality
00:43:44education, every citizen can obtain high
00:43:47quality, affordable, and comprehensive health
00:43:51care. Every young person is equipped with skills
00:43:54and meaningful employment, women
00:43:57participate fully in the economic activity, and
00:44:01our farmers make India the food basket for the
00:44:04world, and we shall be the leaders in tech-
00:44:07driven knowledge economy.
00:44:102047
00:44:17and a good deal of it must be settled within the next few
00:44:21years.
00:44:24In the CD Deshmukh lecture, the Finance Minister said
00:44:27that India must come out of its colonial mindset and victimhood
00:44:31mentality. She said that the banking
00:44:34system, government institutions, and public
00:44:37resources ensure equal opportunities for every Indian.
00:45:10aspiration finds support rather than
00:45:12barriers. Mudra Yojana has actually made
00:45:16us entrepreneur of every citizen who wants to
00:45:19benefit from the Yojana, and that is going to be the
00:45:23most important thing that we should recognize the
00:45:26entrepreneurial talent and skill each one of our
00:45:30citizens. Quality education, as I said, quality healthcare, as I
00:45:33said, are entirely
00:45:35non-negotiable
00:45:38as national priorities.
00:45:42Union Minister Giriraj Singh inaugurated the 10th India International
00:45:45Footwear Fair 2026 at Bharat Mandapam.
00:45:48This B2B fair, organized by the India Trade Promotion Organization
00:45:52in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Footwear Industries, will last for three days.
00:45:55This event is considered a comprehensive platform to showcase innovation,
00:45:59strengthen business partnerships, and for global footwear.
00:46:02On this occasion, Union Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh said
00:46:06that we are fully confident that this event will boost Indian footwear.
00:46:40I am fully confident that next time
00:46:43when this trade fair is held,
00:46:47people from 12 countries have come,
00:46:50people from 112 countries have come, and this
00:46:53will become a very big footwear
00:46:56fair
00:46:57in the world.
00:47:01Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi
00:47:04said that the PM Suryaghar Free Electricity Scheme is changing India's energy
00:47:07landscape. In October 2025,
00:47:10where 500 solar installations were done daily,
00:47:13this number increased to 16,000 per day in July 2026.
00:47:17Addressing the 7th CII International Energy Conference held
00:47:21in New Delhi, the Union Minister said that this scheme,
00:47:24along with providing clean energy to every household,
00:47:29solar manufacturing ecosystem in the country.
00:47:33The Central Government's PM Suryaghar Free Electricity Scheme
00:47:37has now reached 50 lakh households. The pace of rooftop solar
00:47:41installation has also tripled to more than 16,000
00:47:44per day. Along with this, India is moving forward with the goal
00:47:48of 500 gigawatts of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
00:47:51Union Minister of Steel and Heavy Industries SD Kumaraswamy said that
00:47:55under Atmanirbhar Bharat, we are building a strong domestic supply chain
00:47:59for clean energy technologies. For this, the government
00:48:02has taken several steps like the Rs 18,100 crore PLI scheme,
00:48:09for battery storage. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister
00:48:13Dr. Mohan Bhagwat said that Madhya Pradesh
00:48:16is rapidly moving forward in renewable energy.
00:48:20Delhi Metro is getting electricity from Madhya Pradesh.
00:48:23This is a great example of sustainable development and cost savings.
00:48:26Many
00:48:30states in the country are doing this, and Madhya Pradesh is a pioneer in this,
00:48:33and I have no objection in saying
00:48:36that. We have created this
00:48:39demand by reducing the GST
00:48:43and GST rate in RE devices and other
00:48:46manufacturing components from 12% to
00:48:495% for an ordinary family. This makes
00:48:53a typical 3 kilowatt rooftop solar system which comes under the
00:48:57PM Suryaghar
00:48:59around 9 to
00:49:021000 (10,500 rupees)
00:49:06cheaper, that is lesser
00:49:07cost.
00:49:10Today India stands as the world's fourth largest
00:49:14economy with a GDP of nearly
00:49:174.18 trillion US dollars
00:49:21and is firmly
00:49:52look at our state, Madhya Pradesh now appears
00:49:56as a strong part of renewable energy, like a new
00:50:00dawn, for which
00:50:03all kinds of doors are open within our state
00:50:06for those who want to join us and those who want to benefit
00:50:09from us.
00:50:11India
00:50:14has once again strengthened its nuclear-capable ballistic
00:50:17missile capability by successfully testing the medium-range ballistic missile
00:50:21Agni-4. The missile was successfully launched
00:50:25from the Integrated Testing Range, Chandipur, located in Odisha. It should be noted
00:50:29that this test was conducted under the supervision of the Strategic Force Command.
00:50:32All operational and technical parameters were confirmed
00:50:35by this launch.
00:50:38To promote intellectual property in India and
00:50:41to give a new direction to the innovation-based economy,
00:50:45the India IP Advantage Summit 2026
00:50:47was organized. During this, the protection of intellectual
00:50:51property rights
00:52:05Under the ongoing dialogue between social media platform Meta and the central government,
00:52:08Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw met
00:52:12senior officials of Meta at Rail Bhavan on Thursday evening.
00:52:15According to sources, in this meeting which lasted for about 65 minutes,
00:52:19the Meta delegation, led by Caplan, presented its views on the concerns
00:52:23raised by the Ministry of Information Technology.
00:52:26A day before this, a meeting
00:52:30at the secretary level of the ministry, in which the government had shared
00:52:33its concerns on various issues. It is believed that this dialogue
00:52:37between the government and Meta will continue further, and more meetings
00:52:41are likely to be held between both sides in the coming days. This meeting is happening
00:52:44at a time when Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg had apologized
00:52:48for child sexual exploitation content, deepfakes, and lapses in platform operations,
00:52:52including this incident. Earlier on Wednesday, IT Secretary
00:52:55S. Krishnan had said that the government wants to understand
00:52:59why some of Meta's systems
00:53:02and what steps the company is taking
00:53:05to prevent such incidents in the future. He said that adequate safeguards
00:53:08should be in place for verified accounts of public figures. According to government sources,
00:53:12Meta officials admitted that some content was promoted for money
00:53:16and expressed regret over it. The government made it clear to the company
00:53:19that it cannot evade responsibility by claiming to be merely an intermediary.
00:53:23Sources say that due to its active role in content distribution and promotion,
00:53:27the safe harbor protection available under IT law

00:53:34when a Facebook post by Prime Minister Narendra Modi

00:53:45and also apologized, but the government did not consider
00:53:48this explanation sufficient. After this, top global officials

00:54:43There are
00:54:45so many common languages of the people across the country.
00:54:49If they can be brought to the bulletin, then I think

00:55:00bulletin will go all over the world. So far, in many languages,
00:55:03it must be running a lot on YouTube in Bundeli, but coming from Doordarshan
00:55:07sets a standard for the news
00:55:11that this news is correct, this is how the news should be.
00:55:15Bundeli is a language that is spoken in Madhya Pradesh as well
00:55:18as in Uttar Pradesh. So the people of Madhya Pradesh have also
00:55:22entered Uttar Pradesh. Your bulletin will go there,
00:55:25so congratulations to all of you.

00:55:32is a major dialect not only of Madhya Pradesh but also of many districts
00:55:36of Uttar Pradesh. She said that in the Bundeli
00:55:40news bulletin, news from the entire Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh
00:55:43and Uttar Pradesh can be presented on one platform,
00:55:46which will expand the scope
00:55:48of regional news.
00:55:51Bundeli language is not just spoken in Madhya Pradesh, there are also some districts
00:55:55in Uttar Pradesh where Bundeli language is spoken.
00:55:59And it is a step by our headquarters,
00:56:03the Integrated Newsroom,
00:56:06which will be fully implemented in the coming months.
00:56:10And when it is implemented, you can include news from UP
00:56:13in Bundeli news, we can cover the entire area.
00:56:17So we can say that when we give Bundeli news, we will be able to give news
00:56:21from the entire Bundelkhand
00:56:22region.
