00:00And now we dip into breaking news coming in. This is regarding Rahul Gandhi's South America visit.
00:05And it seems Rahul Gandhi has once again taken this opportunity to attack the Modi government
00:10from the foreign soil once again. He is in Colombia where he is meeting businessmen,
00:16students, university workers and there he has attacked Prime Minister Modi once again.
00:23He has claimed that there is an attack on the Indian democracy. Rahul Gandhi has claimed
00:29that different ideas require space and he is claiming that that kind of a space is not being
00:36provided in India. So once again he has attacked Prime Minister Modi and his government. He was
00:43speaking in Colombia. He said that democracy says Indian democratic system is under attack. This
00:51is what he has said on the issue of democracy in Colombia. He's saying the democratic system is
00:58under attack.
00:59He is under attack.
01:00He says that democracy is under attack. He is under attack. Theigger of the
01:27This is where we brought the land of the land of the land of the land
01:33and our pride in the land of the land of the land of the land.
01:57The single biggest risk is the attack on democracy that is taking place in India.
02:21Because India has multiple religions, multiple traditions, multiple languages, and India
02:28actually is a conversation between all its people.
02:33And different traditions, different religions, different ideas require space.
02:41And the best method for creating that space is the democratic system.
02:45And currently there is a wholesale attack on the democratic system in India.
02:50So that's a risk.
02:51The other big risk is risk between different conceptions, different parts of the country.
03:02Some 16, 17 different languages, different religions.
03:09So allowing these different traditions to thrive, giving them space to express themselves, is
03:15very important for a country like India.
03:18So that was Rahul Gandhi.
03:23He is in Colombia and he was addressing a group of people over there.
03:28He's expected to meet businessmen and students.
03:31And while he's there, he has once again attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government.
03:38He's saying that different ideas require space.
03:41And that is currently what is not available in India.
03:44He says that India's democratic system is under attack.
03:49He said different ideas that require space is the best method for creating that space in democratic system.
03:59And he said that India is a language.
04:03It is a conversation between different aspects of people.
04:07Let's listen into what exactly is Rahul trying to say here.
04:12The biggest risk is the attack on democracy that is taking place in India.
04:19Because India has multiple religions, multiple traditions, multiple languages.
04:24And India actually is a conversation between all its people.
04:30And different traditions, different religions, different ideas require space.
04:37And the best method for creating that space is the democratic system.
04:42And currently there is a wholesale attack on the democratic system in India.
04:47So that's a risk.
04:49The other big risk is risk between different conceptions, different parts of the country.
04:58Right?
04:59Some 16, 17 different languages, different religions.
05:06So allowing these different traditions to thrive, giving them space to express themselves, is very important for a country like India.
05:17And joining us right now is India Today's Piyush Mishnah.
05:20Piyush, we heard Rahul Gandhi speaking in Colombia.
05:24But BJP has also been attacking him over this tour that he is doing of South America.
05:29So what is it that Rahul Gandhi is trying to say here and how has BJP been targeting him?
05:35Well, Anjali, it is now going to start another political controversy here back in India.
05:41As Rahul Gandhi is on his four-day visit to various countries of South America.
05:47And while he was in Colombia, he spoke about the democracy in India.
05:52He has once again said that there is no space for democratic process in the country.
05:56And this is certainly going to give a lot of ammunition to the Bharatiya Janta Party.
06:00This is not the first time, Anjali, that Rahul Gandhi has spoken like this.
06:04Earlier, also, at multiple instances, at various occasions in multiple countries, Rahul Gandhi has said the same thing.
06:11Last time, when he was in the UK, he had said that the democratic process is being challenged in India.
06:18And once again, he has reiterated this.
06:20It is most likely, yes, the BJP is going to do a press conference and is going to slam Rahul Gandhi.
06:27But also, what is more important here is that this statement is coming at a time when the elections in the state of Bihar are also to be announced.
06:35And it is going to give a lot of ammunition to BJP to once again attack Rahul Gandhi.
06:40We can expect a senior BJP leader to do a press conference.
06:43And then they again will say that Rahul Gandhi is habitual of maligning the image of a country.
06:48Because this has happened earlier also.
06:50Last, it was Anirak Thakur who had attacked Rahul Gandhi for doing the same.
06:54And once again, Rahul Gandhi seems to be reiterating his comments on the democratic process in the country.
06:59We will have to wait and watch.
07:00When is BJP going to comment on this?
07:03But yes, it is a huge statement coming in from a leader of opposition who is an Indian origin leader.
07:09And he is now taking on the India's democratic process at a foreign soil.
07:14Right, Piyush to stay on with us.
07:16He is taking on the lack of space, as he says, for the democratic system to exist in India.
