00:00:33no, it is forest land, but there is no sign of forest in it,
00:00:36there is a need for forest
00:00:39plantation. The real goal of
00:00:42sustainable plantation is not just
00:00:46to plant trees, but
00:00:49to re-establish a self-reliant
00:00:52ecosystem. Development is a form of adaptation.

00:04:48session of the international conference
00:04:50on the future of environment and climate mobility,
00:04:54President Draupadi Murmu said that
00:04:58all of us should be sensitive
00:05:02towards nature and environment. She said that
00:05:05the tribal society is dedicated to them and we should learn this.
00:05:10I'm asking With this, that's all for now
00:05:13in this special sign language news of Doordarshan. Please allow me. Namaste.
00:05:32In the hustle and bustle of the day, when you are away from the news
00:05:36and when you want to know how much the country
00:05:39has changed in a day?
00:05:43How was the political
00:05:44stir?
00:05:49What are today's global
00:05:50issues?
00:05:53How fast is the economy
00:05:55running?
00:05:59Where did the tricolor
00:06:01wave on the sports field?
00:06:03Watch the essence of the day's important news and its
00:06:07analysis
00:06:10every night at 8 PM only on
00:06:13DD News. This
00:06:17is India, more than a country,
00:09:02you are watching our special program Rashtra Manch on DD News,
00:09:06in which we have a big debate on a big topic. I am Lal Chand Singh. At the end of the week,
00:09:10we bring you this special program, and today on Rashtra Manch,
00:09:13the big topic on which there is a big debate
00:09:16is another statement
00:09:20by former Vice President Hamid Ansari. In fact, if you look at the history
00:09:22of Hamid Ansari's statements and his behavior,
00:09:26there have been many controversies. This is not the first time,
00:09:29but what is the latest controversy? The latest controversy is that
00:09:33Hamid Ansari mentioned a book
00:09:36by A.G. Noorani at an event.
00:09:40Citing that book, he mentioned a statement.
00:09:43Now, what was the need
00:09:47for that statement, what was the need to mention it?
00:09:50Questions are being raised about all these things. Then there is also the question
00:09:53of how true or false
00:09:57that statement is. In fact,
00:09:59it said something about the country's first
00:10:03Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
00:10:06What was said was that
00:10:10communism,
00:10:12that is, the leftists, are more dangerous.
00:10:16Hindu and Hindu communalism
00:10:19is more dangerous, right-wing communalism,
00:10:22he said. So there was bound to be a controversy over this,
00:10:26and there was a controversy once again over his statement,
00:10:29and both the VHP, that is, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad,
00:10:32and the BJP attacked
00:10:36this statement. Today, on Rashtra Manch,
00:10:39we will investigate why Hamid Ansari
00:10:43repeatedly makes such statements and behaves in this way,
00:10:46because he was the Vice President of the country for 10 years,
00:10:50and also the question of whether Pandit Nehru really said
00:10:54what he quoted and what is in
00:10:57the book by A.G. Noorani
00:11:01where it is written, we will tell you all this
00:11:05and also tell you why the VHP
00:11:08and BJP are retaliating so much
00:11:12and also whether in a country like India,
00:11:15Hindus have become the most dangerous.
00:11:19Today we will talk about this issue
00:11:22and try to understand it, but first
00:11:26let me show you some statements related
00:11:29to this issue. So,
00:11:33first of all, let's show you the statement of former Vice President Hamid Ansari
00:11:37that he recently gave at an event. Citing a book,
00:11:40he quoted Pandit Nehru as saying that
00:11:44the real threat to India is not communism,
00:11:47but Hindu right-wing communalism. Listen to his statement
00:11:51first.
00:11:55The latter couplet he wrote in the first
00:12:01the book,
00:12:03accurately sums up the Muslim sentiment
00:12:07in India
00:12:07today.
00:12:11He cited in the introduction of this volume,
00:12:14Jawaharlal Nehru's observation
00:12:18at an officers' meeting of the Ministry of
00:12:21External Affairs and recorded for.
00:13:25He dared to shame the glorious traditions.
00:13:28He said that here
00:13:32right-wing Hindu communalism is more dangerous
00:13:35than ultra-leftism. If Hindus were communal,
00:13:39if Hindus were fundamentalists,
00:13:42then Hamid Ansari would not have
00:13:45dared to say this. This
00:13:49is the same Hamid Ansari who once said
00:13:52that Muslims in India
00:13:56feel insecure. So Surendra Jain
00:13:58ji
00:14:02also cited an old statement, and there are many such statements
00:14:05and behaviors on which Hamid Ansari ji's statements
00:14:09and behavior have caused controversies. We will discuss this further,
00:14:13but for now, let's hear if Hamid Ansari ji's
00:14:16latest statement is getting any support from the opposition.
00:14:20Yes, some support is visible from some quarters.
00:14:23Naseem Siddiqui, the national spokesperson of the NCP Sharad Pawar faction,
00:14:27said that the right wing of Hindus,
00:14:31which is terrorist, which wants to make the country a Hindu nation,
00:14:34the country is in danger from them and their ideas. Therefore, Hamid Ansari ji's statement is correct.
00:14:38So BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said that
00:14:41what kind of language is he speaking after becoming Vice President? Even people from the Muslim community
00:14:45are getting angry with his statement. The
00:14:49right wing of Hindus, which is terrorist,
00:14:53which
00:14:56wants to make the country a Hindu nation, which
00:14:59supports Golwalkar and Savarkar
00:15:02and Nathuram Godse, the country is in danger from them
00:15:06and their ideas. Hamid Ansari
00:15:10is quoting today what someone quoted at the time of independence.
00:15:13Hamid Ansari was born in the Muslim community
00:15:17and became the Vice President of the country, even after that,
00:15:21he uses such language, he speaks such words?
00:15:25Due to his statement, people of the Muslim community are getting angry.
00:15:29He should know that for the Muslims of India,
00:15:32there is no better country than India, no better friend than Hindu,
00:15:36and no better leader than Modi. Today the country is on the path of progress,
00:15:40on the path of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas.
00:15:42So we have shown you some statements
00:15:46and also told you about some statements. It is a good thing
00:15:50that some well-known Maulana Muslim
00:15:53scholars have also considered Hamid Ansari's statement
00:15:57wrong and said that such a statement has no meaning.
00:16:01So this shows that Hamid Ansari
00:16:04perhaps has a different mindset, that is why he repeatedly makes such statements
00:16:08and behaves in such a way that causes controversy.
00:16:11Today on Rashtra Manch, there is a big debate on this topic,
00:16:15but before that, let me tell you the questions that we are asking on Rashtra Manch today.
00:16:19The first question: Former Vice President Hamid Ansari's
00:16:22deteriorating words again, that's what it sounds like.
00:16:26Second question: Why do Hamid Ansari's statements
00:16:29and behavior always cause controversy? We will also tell you some old contexts during the discussion.
00:16:33Third question: Are Hindus really
00:16:37the most dangerous for the country? Whether it is Naxalites
00:16:41or terrorists, are Hindus the most dangerous of all?
00:16:44Fourth question: Why did the VHP and BJP
00:16:48launch such a fierce attack on Hamid Ansari?
00:16:50And fifth, did the first Prime Minister of the country,
00:16:54Pandit Nehru, really say that Hindus
00:16:58are a threat to this country? We will try to investigate
00:17:01this in this entire debate. And today,
00:17:05S.N. Singh ji, spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party, is joining us in this entire debate.
00:17:07A very warm welcome, S.N. Singh ji. Pawan Patel ji, leader of
00:17:13Congress. Pawan ji, a very warm welcome. Manoj Yadav ji,
00:17:16spokesperson of Samajwadi Party. A very warm welcome, Manoj ji.
00:17:20Anant Vijay sir, senior journalist,
00:17:23who will guide us and also clear many confusions.
00:17:26Sir, a very warm welcome. And here in the studio,
00:17:30next to us, Vinod Bansal ji, spokesperson of VHP,
00:17:33that is, Vishwa Hindu Parishad. A very warm welcome to all of you.
00:17:37Jai Shri Ram to all. Jai Jai Shri Ram to all of you too. And first
00:17:41of all, I will ask a question,
00:17:44was it really true? Because look, there are two things here.
00:17:48For now, let's ignore the previous
00:17:51controversies and statements of former Vice President Hamid Ansari ji. We will discuss
00:17:55them later, but
00:17:59he referred to A.G. Noorani ji's book, Anant Vijay
00:18:03sir, and
00:18:05in it, he mentioned Pandit Nehru ji's statement.
00:18:09First of all, what is its truth?
00:18:12Anant Vijay sir,
00:18:15please tell. Look, A.G. Noorani sahib did not
00:18:19say exactly the same words. If you say it during this discussion,
00:18:22I have that book with me, I will bring it,
00:18:26but since Hamid Ansari grew up in the culture of Congress,
00:18:29look, this is his cultural education.
00:18:32His cultural education is in the Congress party,
00:18:36and the things of the Congress party have come before the public
00:18:40by mixing them with the things written in Noorani's book
00:18:43in this way. Now you will say that where did Congress come into this?
00:18:47This gentleman,
00:18:51you all know him, you must have seen him.
00:18:54His name is Pranab Mukherjee. He was also the President of the country.
00:18:57Yes, Pranab Mukherjee has written three books
00:19:01about the Congress party and his memories.
00:19:04Okay, one of these books
00:19:37is The episode that involved the arrest of Jayendra
00:19:41Saraswati, the Shankaracharya of Kanchi, on 12 November
00:19:442004. Hmm, it was a time when the
00:19:48entire country was celebrating Diwali.
00:19:52During the cabinet meeting. Now listen carefully from here. During the
00:19:55cabinet meeting, I was
00:19:59the timing of the arrest and
00:20:02questioned if the basic tenets of
00:20:05secularism of the Indian state were confined to
00:20:08only Hindu monks and seers. Is
00:20:12this secularism only applicable to Hindu monks
00:20:16and seers, meaning Hindu saints? He asked in the cabinet
00:20:19meeting on November 12,
00:20:222004. Okay, and after that,
00:20:25he said an even more dangerous line. Would the state
00:20:29machinery dare to arrest a Muslim cleric during
00:20:33Eid festival? Would it dare to arrest any Muslim cleric during Eid festival?
00:21:20what kind of people are in Congress and he was one position below them, he became Vice President
00:21:23and Mrs. Sonia Gandhi
00:21:27gave him the opportunity to become President for two consecutive
00:21:30terms. So I
00:21:34am just saying this whole incident is about Hamid
00:21:37and it's not like Hamid Ansari sahib said such things for the first time.
00:21:41Hamid Ansari sahib, after stepping down from the post of President,
00:21:45Vice President, and you must remember when his farewell speech
00:21:48was happening, Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:21:52also made a sweet remark that you will have many things in your mind
00:21:55that you can say now that you are free. We remember that well,
00:21:59and the context you mentioned
00:22:02about the arrest of Shankaracharya
00:22:06was an incident that happened right in front of us, which we witnessed at that time.
00:22:10You reported it absolutely correctly, and there is also one thing that
00:22:13Anant Sir was saying just now. Look, A.K.
00:22:17Antony, a non-Hindu
00:22:20leader of Congress, a big leader,
00:22:23the Defense Minister of the country, when Congress lost in 2014,
00:22:27what was in A.K. Antony's report after that? A.K. Antony's report
00:22:30also talks along the same lines that Anant Sir was just telling.
00:22:34Anyway, I'll come back to you. First
00:22:38of all, Vinod Bansal ji, Vinod Bansal ji,
00:22:41tell me, the BJP VHP launched a very sharp attack
00:22:45on his statement. Okay, you know that he has made such statements
00:22:48and behaved in such a way before. What did you find most objectionable
00:22:52in this statement? Tell me. Look, India
00:22:55is a country, he must have forgotten that they say
00:22:58that there are most mosques, most Muslims,
00:23:02if you say, in any non-Muslim country,
00:23:06President, Vice President,
00:23:09CJI and our Chief
00:23:12Election Commissioner and even
00:23:16our Air Chief Marshal also remained, of course, of course.
00:23:20In how many states of the country, which are Hindu-majority states,
00:23:24I think Hamid Ansari ji himself is the biggest example.
00:23:28Look how many big posts he has held. Well, I say this about him,
00:23:31sorry, I will maintain the dignity of my language, I will not say
00:23:35such things about him, but some people have a tendency
00:23:38to poke holes in the plate they eat from. They don't stop doing that.
00:23:42But I want to say, look, in how many states of the country,
00:23:46which are Hindu-majority states, which they are calling right-wing Hindu,
00:23:50how many Muslim chief ministers have been formed in their states?
00:23:53But I want to ask,
00:23:57not a single word came out of their mouth that why has no Hindu chief minister
00:24:00been able to become chief minister in Jammu and Kashmir till date?
00:24:04Tell me, why has it not been possible? After all,
00:24:08what is the reason that all the terrorist attacks
00:24:11in the country are 100%
00:24:14by people from the Muslim community? Tell me, these are educated people,
00:24:17right? They come in the intellectual category.
00:24:20So why have they never spoken on halala,
00:24:24which depicts the plight of women, which depicts their pathetic condition?
00:24:28Little girls are still being kept captive
00:24:31in the 17th century mindset
00:24:35and kept captive in black sacks and prevented from going to school
00:24:38wearing burqa and hijab. Why?
00:24:42What all does not happen in madrasas? They never uttered a word.
00:24:45No, there is one thing in this, even if this argument is accepted
00:24:48that this is an internal matter of our Islam,
00:24:52if they say so.
00:24:56Vinod, still the question is that when slogans of "Sar Tan Se Juda"
00:25:00are not only raised but
00:25:03yes, this Udaipur incident of Kanhaiya Lal,
00:25:07in such a situation, not a single word comes out of the mouths of people
00:25:11like Hamid Ansari ji. This is true. Brother, in the Palgaon attack,
00:25:14they clearly asked for religion and then killed.
00:25:18Has he said a single word till date? This should not be happening,
00:25:21their sensitivity is dead, all their pain,
00:25:25sensitivity is standing with terrorists and separatists. This is what their statements
00:25:28clearly say. Look, I am getting information that
00:25:32when he was our ambassador
00:25:35in many countries, he was also in Iran and many other
00:25:39Muslim countries. What all did he do there?
00:25:43How many stains are on his reputation? It is in the public domain.
00:25:46I would say that the Government of India should investigate this thoroughly. And
00:25:58not only that, when he was Vice President, we also know that he used to go to the conventions of PFI and SDPI, and after that, when he stepped down, he started playing openly.
00:26:02I remember two contexts, I remember two contexts.
00:26:05One is an officer of RAW who has already stated
00:26:09when he was ambassador to Iran, and the other
00:26:12is a Pakistani journalist who referred to that visit
00:26:16when Hamid Ansari ji was Vice President. I will come to all those things too.
00:26:19He did not apologize for these things. We will definitely open up
00:26:23those past things and
00:26:27because who is the most aggressive at this time?
00:26:31VHP and BJP are the most aggressive. So I will take the reaction of BJP
00:26:34first, then I will go to Pawan Patel ji
00:26:38and Manoj Yadav ji. S.N. Singh ji,
00:26:41why are you so aggressive on this statement? He has made such statements
00:26:45and behaved in such a way before. S.N. Singh ji,
00:26:48look, we are discussing today the statement of respected
00:26:52Hamid Ansari ji. Hamid Ansari ji,
00:26:55who is the Vice President of the majority country and remains for 10
00:26:59years, as soon as he steps down, he says that now Muslims
00:27:29who always give such statements show that extremist thinking is such that it goes to any position and still maintains its thinking.
00:27:33It is still said that India is here.
00:27:36Sandalwood
00:27:39Respected Prime Minister ji, our Prime Minister ji,
00:27:43in 2017, in the farewell ceremony,
00:27:47said this that you are independent and free to say such things.
00:27:50Our country does not accept these things. Absolutely, if Hamid
00:27:53Ansari ji says the same thing for any extremism,
00:27:57we say who gets hurt,
00:28:00who cuts off his head, who gives a 24-hour ultimatum,
00:28:04who runs love jihad in Kerala, who
00:28:07lives in Mian,
00:28:10but converts 5000 people by keeping the name Baba,
00:28:13who causes riots in Bhagalpur,
00:28:17who cuts off the breasts of mothers in West Bengal,
00:28:20and who shows extremism even at the time of independence.
00:28:23Still, tolerant India embraces such people.
00:28:27I think if he said that, he should be respected, that no kind of extremism is good.
00:28:31Absolutely right, that spectacle
00:28:35that only sees one religion and promotes another
00:28:38extremism is repeatedly seen in India. It is also seen in 26/11
00:28:42when Parliament is attacked, it is also seen
00:28:46when someone is hanged by the Supreme Court, it is also seen that he belongs to my
00:28:49religion, he belongs to my religion. This extremist thinking
00:28:53is the same extremist thinking in those people, and the biggest
00:28:56accusation is that Hamid Ansari ji is an Indian thinker.
00:29:00Okay, I will say one more thing quickly.
00:29:02I will say one last thing, and I will not say it in anyone's context.
00:29:08One saying
00:29:12You can feed as much milk
00:29:15as you want to a snake,
00:29:19okay, he also said something similar.
00:29:22Okay, I will come back to this later,
00:29:26Pawan Patel ji and Manoj Yadav ji. I took the word of VHP and BJP first
00:29:30because
00:29:32these people are attacking that statement the most. I will take your perspective later.
00:29:36Let's return after a short break. Then we will go to Pawan Patel ji and Manoj
00:29:39Yadav ji. A short
00:29:44break. Your hard work gets national

00:31:23world.
00:31:32Welcome back after the break to Rashtra Manch, a big debate on a big topic,
00:31:36and today's big debate is that former Vice President Hamid Ansari
00:31:39has once again made a statement, although many of his previous statements
00:31:43and behaviors have already been controversial. Today we are discussing that.
00:31:47Let's go directly to Pawan Patel ji. Pawan Patel ji,
00:31:50the issue that VHP and BJP
00:31:53are attacking most fiercely has been completely heard by all of you.
00:31:57Now, the reason for coming to you is that I am seeing
00:32:01that in support of Hamid Ansari ji's statement, we searched a lot
00:32:05for some statement from a Congress leader, but that statement was not found,
00:32:09although Anant Vijay sir has already given the full context,
00:32:12Pawan Patel ji. Look,
00:32:17today there is a lot of commotion. The Bharatiya Janata Party
00:32:20is always looking for such opportunities. Earlier too, many kinds of references,
00:32:24many kinds of books, many kinds of references to leaders have been given,
00:32:28but the Bharatiya Janata Party only picks up those references
00:32:32where there is Hindu-Muslim, where there is politics of religion,
00:32:36where there is diversion from burning issues. The Bharatiya Janata Party becomes very aggressive
00:32:40and picks up those issues very aggressively. There are many references,
00:32:43the entire opposition kept asking earlier. The one who ran it disappeared for 20 days,
00:32:47no one attacked him, no one tried to catch him. Now, today, by mentioning
00:32:50some book, the way this issue
00:32:54was raised by the Bharatiya Janata Party, I want to know from them,
00:32:57was this issue raised by the Bharatiya Janata Party or by one of their people?
00:33:01This needs to be clarified a bit. The Bharatiya Janata Party has reacted, but before that,
00:33:05Hamid Ansari ji spoke in the program, which we played.
00:33:09No, they are saying that the Bharatiya Janata Party raised it,
00:33:12they said that the Bharatiya Janata Party is taking this as an opportunity.
00:33:45No, you can speak, I know, look, the party cannot speak,
00:33:48the party is compelled because it is in power,
00:33:52Auntie has come from outside, but you can speak, you are Indian,
00:33:55right? There is no doubt about it, Pawan ji,
00:33:59speak personally, it's fine, don't speak on behalf of the party.
00:34:01From thieves and offerings
00:34:04from thieves,
00:34:12absolutely, completely dignified.
00:34:45Are you dead? Tell me, have some courage, you contractor of Hindus,
00:34:48you stole Ram's janmabhoomi. Oh, tell me, after all,
00:34:52we are not contractors of Hindus. You are anti-Hindu. If
00:34:56you don't speak, then you are definitely anti-Hindu. Oh, have the courage to speak.
00:34:59How long will you lick boots
00:35:03for these things? Now, their perspective
00:35:07is what you should do. It's done, it's done, enough is enough.
00:35:11Enough is enough. Directly, directly, directly to the statement.
00:36:15Sir, sir, sir, sir, I appealed to both, sir. Pawan ji, Pawan
00:36:18ji, I appealed to both. Is it communal? I just want to ask this much.
00:36:22Okay,
00:36:25with civility, absolutely. Tell me,
00:36:29are Hindus communal? Just tell me, Pawan ji,
00:36:31tell me, who said Hindus are communal?
00:36:35You are talking about your leader Jawaharlal Nehru ji.
00:36:38Jawaharlal Nehru ji also said that here,
00:36:42citizenship will not be based on religion, it will be based on the constitution,
00:36:46and if you are in the government, it should be your responsibility.
00:36:50How do you see Ansari ji's statement? Tell me, Pawan ji, Pawan ji, how do you see Hamid Ansari ji's statement,
00:36:54the latest one? came out, tell me sir?
00:37:27Manoj Yadav ji's statement
00:37:36before I go to him, the UP Deputy CM Keshav Maurya's
00:37:40reaction on this issue has also come, please show it. After Keshav Maurya,
00:37:43we will go directly to Manoj Yadav ji.
00:37:47These kinds of statements, when made by someone who has reached the
00:37:51post of Vice President in the country, when such statements
00:37:55are made, there is only one answer
00:37:59that Hindu society has always
00:38:02worked to accept everyone, it works to give respect to everyone
00:38:05and works in harmony with everyone. These kinds of statements
00:38:09certainly spread discord and
00:38:12create a sense of separation, but these kinds
00:38:15of statements continuously keep coming from the Vice President
00:38:19of the country
00:38:20sometimes.
00:38:24Let's go directly to Manoj Yadav ji. Directly to Manoj Yadav ji. Yes, your
00:38:28reaction because the Deputy CM has said that such a statement is absolutely
00:38:31wrong. How does SP view the statement of former
00:38:35Vice President Hamid Ansari ji? Manoj ji, look,
00:38:38if we talk comparatively, then the subject that your channel sent
00:38:42me was about Hamid Ansari, who referred to an old
00:38:45reference of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
00:38:48and said that the real threat to India is not communism,
00:38:52i.e., left-wing, but Hindu
00:38:55right-wing communalism.
00:38:58This was said, okay. So I said, when I
00:39:02read this about left-wing, I felt that everyone in the left-wing, about
00:39:05whom there has been so much discussion, that these Muslims, I felt that
00:39:09all the leftists must have been Muslims. So I also
00:39:13extracted data for that, and the names of 13
00:39:16prominent left-wing leaders came before me: M. A.
00:39:20Roy, M. A. Dange, P. C. Joshi, B. T.
00:39:23Ranadive, P. Sundarayya, E. M. Namboodiripad.
00:40:11Four people spoke, and we, two spokespersons of Congress and Samajwadi Party,
00:40:14our knowledge was bubbling at over 100
00:40:18degrees without interest, but we remained calm,
00:40:22like ice, like a slab of ice, quiet.
00:40:25Okay, so we also need to express our views
00:40:48very easily. You took the names of those Communist
00:40:51leaders who were mainstream leaders.
00:40:55Communist ideology also connects with those Naxalites, whose recent end has occurred.
00:40:59Communist ideology also connects with those people who used to say that
00:41:03if you go to vote, they will cut off your thumb. Communist ideology also
00:41:06connects with those people who used to play bloody games.
00:41:10You very conveniently chose those names
00:41:13from the left-wing ideology, and what do you think about the
00:41:17right-wing ideology? Was Sardar Patel not right-wing? Don't
00:41:21you think Sardar, among right-wing leaders, weren't these Govind Ballabh Pant, right-wing leaders,
00:41:25within Congress itself? Within Congress? How long
00:41:28has the stream of right-wingers been? How long has it been, Manoj ji, but
00:41:32you very conveniently chose those faces of the left-wing,
00:41:36and you thought the right-wing. I think you might say
00:41:40that those who lynch to stop
00:41:43cow slaughter, cow protectors who lynch, will you just
00:41:46consider them right-wing? Is this
00:41:48your convenience?
00:41:51Your questions are over. You have done such a great analysis, you didn't
00:41:55need anyone, you didn't need anyone. I ask, right-wing
00:41:58people are very good, left-wing is messed up, socialist
00:42:02is messed up. So this country for a long time
00:42:05did not accept those right-wingers politically
00:42:09at all, and there was no discussion
00:42:12in this country. How long did the leftists rule in this country, what kind
00:42:16of rule it was, you know better, I also know. Even if it was not in the whole country,
00:42:20it was definitely in some parts of the country. Definitely, every
00:42:23ideology has some good and some bad things. For example, if
00:42:27we talk about the right-wing, then it also talks about cultural nationalism
00:42:31and also talks about other things. Look, let me speak,
00:42:35let me speak. Now you have made me read the whole book,
00:42:38you have quoted every single thing, and Manoj Yadav
00:42:42has difficulty speaking. This is it, this is the right thing
00:42:45that the right-wing does not like to listen. The right-wing
00:42:49is not able to stand the test.
00:42:53But the twist you are giving, I am telling you, your
00:42:56argument will go against you, Manoj
00:42:58ji,
00:43:01the Communists have been accepted in this country. At this level, you
00:43:05can see how much the right-wingers have been accepted, and if earlier
00:43:08the right-wing people were not accepted so much, then in today's
00:43:12empowered era, when everyone is empowered, do you see more acceptance
00:43:15of the right-wing today or not? Tell me, Manoj ji. Okay,
00:43:19okay. If there is acceptance, will other ideologies end? Absolutely
00:43:23not. Is there no space for it? Is there no space
00:43:26for anyone's religion? Is there no space for anyone's faith, no space for anyone's
00:43:30rights? As soon as you came, you said Jai Jai Shri
00:43:33Ram, how good you said that. But I also say in reflection, Jai
00:43:37Shri Krishna, Jai Sanvidhan, Jai Baba Saheb.
00:44:56I will say the same way that whatever has happened in Ayodhya, the court's SIT
00:44:59has been reconstituted again, hasn't it? And
00:45:03action has also been taken. Expose
00:45:06it with your own mouth, but Lalchand ji, I want to ask him something, he did well.
00:46:40Everyone is watching, okay, I'll be back in the second round, Manoj ji,
00:46:43Manoj
00:46:47ji, stop, you stop, everyone, everyone quiet,
00:46:50everyone quiet, everyone quiet, Vijay sir.
00:47:12In this book, Noorani sahib wrote about the RSS and
00:47:16criticized the RSS, okay, okay. In this,
00:47:19he clearly did not write about all Hindus.
00:47:52was also there, recognize this too, Manoj ji, you are very
00:47:56educated, you are talking about a very serious
00:47:59matter, Sri and this is his
00:48:02name, Sri Aurobindo. He has put forward the concept of cultural
00:48:06nationalism. My only point is that whatever Noorani sahib
00:48:10does, he has the artistic
00:48:13freedom of expression, there is no criticism in that.
00:48:16But by picking out selective parts, Hamid
00:48:20Ansari, whose past has been
00:48:24like this anti-Hindu bashing, if he picks out
00:48:27selective parts and applies the statements
00:48:31made about Hindus inspired by a particular
00:48:34ideology to the entire Hindu community,
00:48:37then the objection, Lalchan ji, starts here.
00:48:41Then questions arise about his intentions, then it seems that
00:48:45this person deliberately wants to create Hindu-Muslim
00:48:48conflict. And as for the leftists, Manoj
00:48:51ji, you named everyone from M. Roy sahib
00:48:55to A. B. Vardhan, everyone is very good, very educated,
00:48:59everyone is, but all these people supported
00:49:03Naxalism, all these people from
00:49:06'65 to
00:49:09the Naxalites. Even the Naxalites many times talked about
00:49:12supporting them in elections, parties like CPI. And let me tell
00:49:16you one more thing, they forgot Mahasweta Devi.
00:49:20When Mahasweta Devi
00:50:22Yes, sir, Manoj ji, speak. I was just saying that among the names
00:50:26I read of leftists, there was no Muslim.
00:50:30They were all Hindus. So leftism was in Hinduism
00:50:33as well as in right-wing. Leftism was in
00:50:37socialism, leftism was in Gandhism.
00:50:40That is, Hindus also believed in Gandhism. So
00:50:44there was diversity in Hinduism. It was divided from all
00:50:47sides. Not every Hindu was right-wing,
00:50:51not every Hindu was left-wing.
00:51:22will only burn the books of Manas, will only see faults in them, not in any other religion.
00:51:26You tell me, when it comes to religion and if
00:51:30any incident has happened in Muzaffarnagar, then they will
00:51:34only adopt one religion in the victim. This is called leftism.
00:51:38We call this ideological leftism, in which
00:51:41at all times, at 12, 2, 4 in the night,
00:51:45if the Supreme Court also has to be opened, it has to be opened for this reason
00:51:48because it is ideological leftism. We do not hesitate to call the Mughals
00:54:05denied it, but we did not get any denial from Congress either.
00:54:08We also want to ask you this. What is his statement? He mentioned
00:54:12the book. We said that Congress party supports
00:54:16those who got citizenship according to the constitution. We told you earlier, deny it,
00:54:19deny it, you people do it. We have given the answer, those who
00:54:22understand will understand.
00:54:26stay sitting.
00:54:30speak.
00:54:34was happening.
00:56:00comment, Vinod ji, I want to say, look, the spokesperson
00:56:04of Congress, Samajwadi Party,
00:56:51they see and whom they reject and whom they accept, I told Manoj Yadav ji that today
00:56:55is the kind of era, we talk about Gen Z, right? Today, everyone
00:56:59is empowered, okay, so everyone has
00:57:03their place, I accept
00:57:05this, but one thing is for sure that everyone, yes, absolutely the Constitution
00:57:09also, sir,
00:57:09the Constitution,
00:57:13tell me, is it based on Sharia or the Constitution?
00:57:47along with Manoj Yadav ji, thank you very much to you too. So today, in Rashtramanch, this is such
00:57:51a big issue, on which many times, if you talk,
00:57:55the discussion can go on for much longer, but the discussion
00:57:58was on Hamid Ansari ji's statement. Earlier also, there have been controversies
00:58:02over many of his statements and behavior, and if a person who has held
00:58:06such an important position for 10 years makes such statements, then it is indeed a concern.
00:58:09That's why this was a big debate today. For now, that's all for today's Rashtrapanch.
00:58:12Give permission to the entire team, Namaste.
