00:00:02RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's address to Gen Z. is very shocking. He said that the protesters'
00:00:05grievances were legitimate, Gen Z is not anti-national, they are
00:00:09our own people, we have to trust them, I will trust
00:00:11Gen Z blindly.

00:01:06Politics is a very strange thing, it does not let a human
00:01:09being remain human, it turns them into a symbol.
00:01:13Someone is a cap, someone is a beard, someone is saffron,
00:01:17someone is a red flag, and perhaps in Indian politics,
00:01:21if any community has been tied up in symbols the most,
00:01:24it is the Brahmin community. Just
00:01:28think, how does the discussion about Brahmins begin as soon as elections
00:01:32arrive? Tilak, Janeyu,
00:01:35Shankh, Mala, Parshuram, and now
00:01:38Sudama. It's like just yesterday, in the Brahmin conference
00:01:42of the Samajwadi Party in Lucknow, the chariot that came,
00:01:46had Krishna and Sudama as symbols.
00:01:50Speeches mentioned the friendship of Krishna and Sudama.
00:01:53Akhilesh Yadav gave the example of Sudama. The friendship
00:01:57of Lord Krishna and Sudama is not new. If there
00:02:00is no such friendship between anyone else in the world,
00:02:04if there is any other example on the entire earth, tell us, if there is
00:02:08any other example of Krishna and Sudama, tell us.
00:02:12Akhilesh Yadav's message was clear.
00:02:14Sudama means poor Brahmin, neglected
00:02:17Brahmin, and a Brahmin waiting for respect.
00:02:21And in this he adds
00:02:24'पीड़ित पंडित' (oppressed Brahmin). Ever since they lost
00:02:28from PDA, they are creating new
00:02:31definitions of PDA. But
00:02:35they forgot that
00:02:38in PDA, PD is the short form of Pandit.
00:02:41In the
00:02:44election year, this is a new narrative coined by Akhilesh Yadav
00:02:48against the Yogi government. But the question is,
00:02:52is the Brahmin of 2026 just Sudama?
00:02:55Can the entire identity of a society of crores of people
00:02:59be contained in a mythological figure? In the same
00:03:02Brahmin conference of the Samajwadi Party, a jibe was taken
00:03:06at UP Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak. This is because
00:03:09he is the biggest representative of the Brahmin
00:03:13there was heavy rain with thunder community in the Yogi government. He is the Deputy
00:03:16CM in the Bharatiya Janata Party. Even the home guards do not
00:03:19listen to him, the constables, the sub-inspectors do not
00:03:22listen to him. Tell me, is it true or
00:03:25not true? Having such a Deputy CM,
00:03:37sahab, thank you very much for taking
00:04:00he is engrossed in politics, he should form a vote bank, they don't want to work, when the government comes
00:04:03to power, they promote hooliganism, they promote anarchy. This means
00:04:07that the attack was also on the symbol, and the answer also came from the symbol.
00:04:10And this is where the question begins, the real
00:04:13question. Does politics communicate with Brahmins
00:04:17or only with the image created by them?
00:04:20History is witness that politics has, from time to time,
00:04:24created different symbols for Brahmins.
00:04:27Sometimes during the rise of BSP, the slogan of Tilak,
00:04:30Tula (scale) and Talwar (sword) resonated, and later the same
00:04:34politics started saying "Brahmin will blow the conch, elephant will
00:04:37move forward." That is, the slogans kept changing, but
00:04:41the Brahmin remained a political symbol. Today,
00:04:44the Samajwadi Party wants to reach out to Brahmins
00:04:47with the help of Krishna and Sudama. The BJP communicates
00:04:51through Tilak, temple and cultural identity.
00:04:54In the beginning of the second term of Yogi Adityanath's government,
00:04:57seven Brahmin ministers have been included in the cabinet. The methods
00:05:01are different, but it seems that the destination is the same,
00:05:04and that is to turn the Brahmin into an electoral symbol.
00:05:08But just look at Atal Bihari who was an MP from Lucknow.
00:05:42He had the capacity. People called him the 'Development Man'. His politics became
00:05:46bigger than his caste. Look at Janeshwar Mishra, a big leader
00:05:49of the socialist movement. He was called 'Chhote Lohia'.
00:05:53His identity was socialist ideology, not
00:05:57that of a Brahmin leader. Look at Kalraj Mishra's
00:06:01long political life. Organization,
00:06:04administration, and constitutional responsibilities became his identity,
00:06:07not any 'Tilakdhari' image. So the question
00:06:10is, does politics today
00:06:13identify societies by their work or by symbols?
00:06:16Why is it that when Brahmins are discussed in politics,
00:06:20there is less discussion on employment,
00:06:23education, new opportunities, changing social challenges, and
00:06:26the aspirations of the youth, but more debate
00:06:30on Tilak, Janeyu, Shankh, and Sudama?
00:06:33Perhaps because the politics of symbols is easy
00:06:37and the politics of problems is difficult.
00:06:40Yadav's Brahmin.
00:07:12He has encroached upon the core vote bank of the Bharatiya Janata
00:07:15Party and he has made efforts to bring that vote bank
00:07:19to his side yesterday. There is a lot of enthusiasm
00:07:22among the Brahmins as well. If we look at the history
00:07:26of Uttar Pradesh politics, the picture is interesting. Since independence,
00:07:2921 Chief Ministers have been made in the state, but the most
00:07:33and for the longest time, the Chief Ministers have been from
00:07:37the Brahmin community. From 1950 to
00:07:401989, Brahmins in Uttar Pradesh
00:08:12changed, and the political representation of Brahmins was also
00:08:16affected by this. In 1980, there were
00:08:1987 Brahmin MLAs in the UP Assembly, which
00:08:22decreased to 41 in 2002. However, in later elections,
00:08:25their number increased again. In the 2022 Assembly,
00:08:2952 Brahmin MLAs were elected, which is approximately
00:08:3212.9% of the total members. It is also interesting that the Brahmin
00:08:36population in UP is considered to be only between 7 and 10%,
00:08:40but their electoral influence
00:09:43but we still don't learn. For example, in Bhogapuram,
00:09:46Andhra Pradesh, the ASR International Airport was inaugurated.
00:09:50Thousands of crores of rupees were spent, world-class facilities were prepared,
00:09:53but then such a picture emerged that presented
00:09:57a dirty picture of our civic behavior.
00:10:00The question is, are we building world-class airports, but
00:10:04are we able to become world-class
00:10:07citizens?
00:10:21The ASR International Airport built in Bhogapuram, Andhra Pradesh.
00:10:55In the pictures, these people are seen taking plants. It seems
00:10:58as if this is not an airport, but a free nursery
00:11:01has been inaugurated, where everyone wants
00:11:05to loot plants here, wants to loot
00:11:08these pots. This whole situation is not limited
00:11:12to plants, because those whose desire to take plants
00:11:16is not fulfilled, they are looking for opportunities in the fountain
00:11:19outside the airport. Just imagine that the fountain which was installed
00:11:23to enhance the beauty of the airport, some people declared it a swimming pool.
00:11:27Some went into the water, some started having fun,
00:11:31and in no time, the airport fountain turned into
00:11:35a neighborhood summer camp. Now you think,
00:11:37are these the same people who, as soon as they reach abroad, start putting garbage
00:11:41in the dustbin, stand in queues abroad,
00:11:45and diligently follow all the rules of foreign countries,
00:11:48but in their own country, as soon as they see
00:11:51public property, why do all these rules go on holiday?
00:11:55This
00:11:58is the same airport which is being called the future flight of Andhra Pradesh.
00:12:01Alluri Sitaram Raju International Airport, built in Bhogapuram,
00:12:05Andhra Pradesh, has been built at a cost of about
00:12:08₹500 crore. The runway of this airport is 3800 meters long,
00:12:12with a capacity to handle 60 lakh passengers every year, claiming
00:12:16to be among the most modern airports in the country.
00:12:20But the question is not about the cost of this airport,
00:12:23nor is it about its long runway, but it is about the attitude,
00:12:27the etiquette, because the government can build airports,
00:12:31but its dignity is
00:12:33maintained by citizens. Even if infrastructure is developing rapidly
00:12:37in the country, new airports are being built, new highways are being built, new metros are
00:12:40being built, India is changing, but if the habit of considering public
00:12:44property as our responsibility does not change, then with every new
00:12:47picture of development, such embarrassment will be available
00:12:51for free. These viral pictures of Bhogapuram,
00:12:55Andhra Pradesh, themselves raise the question: Is world-class infrastructure enough,
00:12:59or does civic sense also need to be upgraded? Otherwise, such
00:13:03scenes will repeatedly say: infrastructure is world-class
00:13:06and civic sense is third-class. Bureau

00:14:31On August 5th, around 6 PM, a virtual
00:14:35conference of the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh was held in Delhi. Meanwhile,
00:14:38about two hours later, an attempt was made to burn down the house
00:14:42of Shakib Al Hasan, the former captain of the Bangladesh cricket team,
00:14:46by throwing a petrol bomb. What is the connection between these two incidents?
00:14:50Why is this anger unleashed on Shakib, who was once a national hero?
00:14:53Hello, you are watching NDTV India and I am Munish
00:14:57Devgan. Exactly two years ago, on August 5th, after the Awami League
00:15:01government was overthrown in Dhaka, Sheikh Hasina came to India
00:15:04and since then, she has been here. On August 5th, she held a press conference
00:15:08at the Foreign Correspondent Club in Delhi. It's
00:15:11a different matter that she was not present there herself, nor did
00:15:15her face appear in the virtual conference, only her voice
00:15:19was heard. Meanwhile, some screenshots started circulating on social media.
00:15:23In one of these screenshots, the face of Shakib Al Hasan,
00:15:26the former captain of the Bangladesh cricket team, was visible.
00:15:29What then? The news reached Bangladesh and caused a stir.
00:15:33Shakib's ancestral house in Magura city was attacked
00:15:36with petrol bombs. There was massive vandalism.
00:15:40The Awami League alleges that before the press conference,
00:15:43BNP, Islamic Jamaat, and NCP had openly
00:15:47threatened that if news of the press conference was published,
00:15:50they would use the courts to file cases. This
00:15:54attack was carried out under a well-planned conspiracy. It is another proof
00:15:57of the genocide campaign being carried out against Awami League
00:16:00workers in the name of establishing democracy. This is a sign of fascism.
00:16:04Now let's understand why Shakib participated
00:16:08in Hasina's press conference. He could have stayed away from it.
00:16:12Shakib Al Hasan's cricket career began in 2006.
00:16:15He quickly won the hearts of millions of Bangladeshi
00:16:19fans with his performance on the field.
00:16:22Sheikh Hasina was considered a big supporter of cricket. She used
00:16:26to be seen at cricket grounds and would encourage Bangladeshi
00:16:30cricketers by meeting them. In 2009, Shakib became
00:16:33the captain of the Bangladesh cricket team, and Sheikh Hasina started
00:16:37her second term as the PM of Bangladesh in the same year.
00:16:41As a cricketer, Shakib's career was soaring. He started meeting
00:16:44PM Sheikh Hasina occasionally.
00:16:48Gradually, this relationship grew beyond being just a cricketer
00:16:51and connected with his family. Shakib often shared pictures
00:16:55related to this on his social media. In 2019, when the ICC banned
00:16:58Shakib under anti-corruption rules, Sheikh Hasina
00:17:02stood firmly by him even then. In 2023,
00:17:06Shakib joined Sheikh Hasina's party, the Awami League.
00:17:09Shakib's hometown Magura is about 150 kilometers
00:17:13away from the capital Dhaka. The party gave him a ticket from here
00:17:17and made him a candidate. In January 2024, Shakib
00:17:20won the election by a good margin and became an MP.
00:17:23Where Shakib got about 185 thousand votes,
00:17:27on the other hand, Qazi Rasul Hussain of the Bangladesh
00:17:30Congress, who stood against him, got only 46 thousand votes.
00:17:34Despite all the allegations of the opposition and discussions of rigging in the elections,
00:17:38his political career and cricket career both seemed settled.
00:17:41But just 6 months later, in June, Shakib and other stalwarts
00:17:45of the ruling Awami League were to face the biggest challenge.
00:17:49In the
00:17:51Warno area of Kelab in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir,
00:17:54a day after a massive cloudburst, rain and hail again occurred
00:17:58in several parts of the district on Wednesday. This led to waterlogging,
00:18:02drains overflowed, and many small temporary structures
00:18:06were damaged.
00:18:38The water flow in the Nallan Nala has increased very rapidly,
00:18:42and the water level in many other drains in the area has also risen rapidly.
00:18:45In the Shopian Kulgam area, especially in the higher regions,
00:18:51for almost 90 minutes. This can lead to a rapid increase
00:18:55in the water level of small rivers and drains, and
00:18:57there is a possibility of flash floods in sensitive areas.
00:19:01Due to the strong flow of water, the water level in some large rivers
00:19:05flowing downstream may also increase. Bureau Report
00:19:09NDTV. Rain on Wednesday morning in Banda, UP,
00:19:13caused waterlogging everywhere. After a while of rain, roads
00:19:16and streets turned into ponds. Water filled up to two to three
00:19:20feet, entering houses and becoming a big problem for people.
00:19:24Local people held the administration fully responsible for this situation.
00:19:28Currently, after the pictures went viral on social media, orders have
00:19:30been given for cleaning.
00:19:33Amidst this rain, a video from Saharanpur has gone viral. Paddy kept
00:19:37in the open at Gangoh Agricultural Produce Market got wet due to
00:19:41waterlogging and rain. Even temporary measures like tarpaulins
00:19:44to save the crop proved ineffective against the heavy rain.
00:19:48The quality of paddy is affected
00:19:49by increased moisture.
00:19:53RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's dialogue with Gen Z said that the protesters' grievances
00:19:57were legitimate, Gen Z is not anti-national, they are our
00:20:01own people, we have to trust them blindly.
00:20:03I will trust them.
00:20:06In Jharkhand, the deadlock continues over talks between the protestors
00:20:09and the government. Students are sticking to talks through their 11-member committee.
00:20:13The government wants only five students to talk. Students
00:20:17are not in a mood to compromise on their two main demands.
00:20:20Tightening the noose on social media companies, they will now get only 3 hours
00:20:24instead of 24 to 36 hours to remove objectionable content.

00:22:53later, an attempt is made to burn down the house of former Bangladesh
00:22:57cricket team captain Shakib Al Hasan by throwing a petrol bomb.
00:23:00What is the connection between these two incidents? Why
00:23:04is this anger being unleashed on Shakib, who was once a national hero?
00:23:07Hello, you are watching NDTV India and I am Munish Devgan.
00:23:11Exactly two years ago, on August 5th, after the Awami League

00:23:38them.
00:23:42The government is in touch with the India Block on the delimitation bill. Kiren Rijiju spoke
00:23:45to Rahul Gandhi and sought support. According to sources, Rahul Gandhi
00:23:49suggested calling an all-party meeting. DMK sought
00:23:52assurance for the interests
00:23:54of the state.
00:23:57In Jhansi, UP, Atiq Ahmed's youngest son Aban died. His car
00:24:01collided with a divider while going to Jhansi. Three people were seriously injured
00:24:04in the accident.
00:24:08Patanjali cow ghee, adds taste and health. Every mother's trust, served
00:24:11with love. What will be the role of the Congress
00:24:14party in Uttar Pradesh, we keep knowing from time to time
00:24:18from the statements of an MP. And that MP is Imran Masood,
00:24:22Congress MP from Saharanpur, who is with us on NDTV India at this moment. Imran
00:24:27the time to talk to us. Tell me, Imran sahab,
00:24:31in UP, do you want an alliance of Congress with SP,
00:24:35or do you want no alliance? No,
00:24:39I don't want that. I believe that if there is an alliance,
00:24:42the results will definitely be better, and there should be an alliance,
00:24:46and we are not against
00:24:50the alliance, but the only thing is that if there
00:24:54is an alliance, their respect should be maintained and ours too. No, respect should be maintained,
00:24:57but you give statements like, Congress does not need SP's crutches,
00:25:01we are a very big party, so what will the other party think? No, no,
00:25:05we are a big party, there is no doubt about that. Yes, so Congress
00:25:08is bigger than SP anyway, Congress is a national party, but not
00:25:12in UP. It's not about UP, it's about the party,
00:25:16so we are a big party, but we want everyone to work together
00:25:20and it will be better, it will be good, and the results
00:25:23will also be good, but in Uttar Pradesh, you are a small party, you will have to accept
00:25:27this, or will you keep saying that we should be given equal status?
00:25:31No, we are a small party, I don't understand how you...
00:25:35How many MPs do you have? No, not from MPs. 17. No, no,
00:25:38we contested only 17. We contested only 17. Different situations,
00:25:42different circumstances. Today's situation in the country, Rahul
00:25:46Gandhi is fighting so strongly. People have developed faith
00:25:50in Rahul Gandhi's name, and if that faith
00:25:54yields full benefit, the alliance will
00:25:57work properly, otherwise it will not, there will be no benefit.
00:26:00No, there will be no benefit.
00:26:03Tell me, you said fewer seats, but
00:26:06how many seats are you looking for in this election? Has
00:26:10the party done any assessment? Look, this formula will be decided
00:26:14by sitting at the table. Our leaders will decide. Our point is
00:26:17that whatever you have to decide, decide now. If you want
00:26:21to postpone it for 6 months, then the result will be
00:26:25that neither you will get anything, nor will we get anything.
00:26:29Nothing will be achieved. So don't put it off. It
00:26:32will happen. Don't put it off. Decide today that this seat is yours,
00:26:36this seat is yours, you will contest here, and form a coordination
00:26:40committee that will be formed at the district level, a coordination committee
00:26:43at the state level, and that coordination committee
00:26:47should work by bringing together the organizations of both parties so that results come. So you are speaking
00:26:50so openly, but why is Akhilesh Yadav not listening? No,
00:26:54look, this decision is Akhilesh ji's. Whether
00:26:57he listens or not is up to him. I cannot tell, but
00:27:01if a government has to be formed, our claim is not
00:27:04for the government, the claim is theirs. No, but is it possible that they don't want to go with you?
00:27:08No, no, if they don't want to go, we can't force anyone.
00:27:12So we should prepare, but whatever has to happen,
00:27:15the decision should be made now. You just want an alliance with the Samajwadi
00:27:18Party, but you say about the SP that the SP cannot tolerate
00:27:22any Muslim leader, so why does a Muslim leader of the Congress
00:27:25party want an alliance? No, no, look, as far as the state
00:27:29is concerned, an alliance is better, an alliance is good, I was never
00:27:33against an alliance, that an alliance should not happen,
00:27:37even if it is with a party that does not tolerate Muslims.
00:27:40So it happens in politics, all these things happen.
00:27:43What, what happens? Not tolerating Muslims, the party will not run, all this happens.
00:27:47Look, when you make allegations, then you will also hear answers. So all these
00:27:50things, no, you said, from Mukhtar Ansari to Atiq Ahmed, Azam Khan, you
00:27:54named them and said that this issue, these
00:27:58leaders could never raise their voice in the party. So such a party that doesn't tolerate Muslim leaders.
