00:00 I, Swati Maliwal, who has been elected as a member of the Rajya Sabha,
00:04 swear by God that I will have true faith and devotion for the constitution of India,
00:12 I will keep India's sovereignty and integrity intact,
00:16 and I will faithfully carry out the duties of the post I am about to take.
00:21 Thank you.
00:27 The earlier one will not go on record.
00:35 First of all, today is a very big day for me.
00:38 I just took an oath and when I took the oath, I also took a vow
00:45 that from now on, my entire life will be dedicated to this country.
00:49 Today, when I was taking the oath, I felt that I was not taking the oath alone,
00:53 every girl in this country is taking the oath with me,
00:56 who has ever fought against injustice.
00:59 Every woman is taking the oath, who has seen a very big dream,
01:03 and worked hard for it.
01:06 I am an activist, was an activist and will remain an activist.
01:09 I have always raised issues of the land,
01:12 and in the future too, I will raise issues of the land in the Rajya Sabha.
01:16 When you were taking the oath, did you get a call to take the oath again?
01:21 I said, "Long live revolution!"
01:23 After that, I was told to take the oath again, so I took the oath again.
01:28 You said that you want to raise issues from the streets to the parliament as an activist.
01:35 Do you think this is the right platform to raise your issues and let people hear you?
01:39 Because in the past few years, we have seen that there are many people
01:44 who have taken the form of activism and have been suspended.
01:47 Parliament is the biggest temple of democracy.
01:51 And it is a very unfortunate thing that democracy is in danger right now.
01:55 Because we saw in the last 17, how 146 MPs were suspended.
02:01 So how will this work?
02:02 The most important task of an MP is to answer the government,
02:07 to raise questions from the government.
02:09 If all the MPs of the opposition are suspended at the same time,
02:13 then who will raise questions from the government?
02:15 But I will remain connected to the land,
02:19 and I am an activist and I will work in the parliament in the activism mode.
02:25 Because there is nothing bigger than this in this country.
02:28 I have a question for the Chandigarh, beyond the parliament.
02:30 How do you see what happened in Chandigarh?
02:32 There is a lot of hooliganism going on.
02:34 And I don't understand how democracy will move forward.
02:39 Today, the most important issue of this country is
02:42 how to save democracy from the current government.
