00:00Good evening. On the 150th birth anniversary of the Iron Man of India, Sardar Vallabhai Patel,
00:08the first Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister of Independent India,
00:12Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a frontal attack on what he described was a spineless
00:18approach of governments of that time that lacked the same seriousness regarding national sovereignty
00:24when it came to issues like Kashmir, North-East and the spread of Maoist terror.
00:38All-out war for Sardar's legacy.
00:46Prime Minister slams spineless Congress.

01:33Honor Sardar, ban RSS, says Kargit.
01:37When Patel himself banned for RSS, then naturally he is disrespected of our Wallabhai Patel
01:46G. Who insulted India's Iron Man?
01:52The big focus on India first.
01:58Prime Minister Narendra Modi's attack on the opposition Congress was direct and sharp.
02:03He said, and I quote, Sardar Sahib wanted the entire Kashmir to be united just as he
02:09had united other princely states.
02:12But Nehruji prevented his wish from being fulfilled.
02:15Kashmir was divided with a separate constitution and a separate flag.
02:20The country burned in the fire of the Congress' mistake on Kashmir for decades.
02:25Due to the Congress' weak policies, a part of Kashmir fell under illegal occupation of Pakistan.
02:32Pakistan fostered terrorism.
02:34Kashmir and the country had to pay such a heavy price and yet the Congress always pound
02:41before terrorism.
02:43Congress forgot Sardar Sahib's vision, but we did not, unquote.
02:49And this has led to a furious battle with the Congress party.
02:53Today, the 31st of October, in 1984, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was also assassinated
03:00by her own security detail in Delhi.
03:03We get you all sides of this fiery debate.
03:06Coming up at 8.30 tonight, the latest from the Tri-Services exercise Trishul.
03:12And also from poll-bound Bihar, the latest in the Muqama murder investigations and the politics
03:18around it.
03:19I'm Gaurav Savant.
03:20First, as always, let me get you this ground report.
03:48India celebrates Rashtia Ekta Divas marking the 150th birth anniversary of Iron Man of
03:54India, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Pate.
04:02Across the nation, Run for Unity marathons were organized to spread Pate's message of unity
04:07and strength.
04:12The main event took place at the Statue of Unity in Keveria in Gujarat.
04:19Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the celebrations in Keveria.
04:23He offered floral tributes at the Statue of Unity and presided over the Rashtia Ekta Divas
04:28parade in which paramilitary forces took part.
04:33Modi administered the oath of unity at the event.
04:41Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the oath of unity.
04:50Prime Minister Modi took a dig at the Congress and claimed that Jawaharlal Nehru allowed India to be divided.
05:20Prime Minister Modi took a part of the government and said that the government did not become the government of the government.
05:50Modi accused the Congress of following the mindset of the British and discrediting those who oppose the party.
06:20The Congress hit back at the Prime Minister, accused him of insulting the Iron Man of India.
06:50On the 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Patel, the Iron Man was at the centre of a political slugfest between the BJP and Congress.
07:06Bureau Report, India Today.
07:08The attack is sharp, especially when the Prime Minister calls the policies of the governments of that era a spineless approach that resulted in the country suffering from consequences in the form of violence and bloodshed.
07:22Be it Kashmir, North East or Red Terror.
07:25But is there merit in the Prime Minister saying Congress forgot Sardar Sahib's vision?
07:30He did not.
07:31Joining me on India First is Nishant Rawal, national spokesperson of the Congress Party.
07:35With me on India First is Tuhin Sina, national spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
07:40Professor Makhanlal, a well-respected historian, joins us on the show.
07:44With me also, my colleague Sandeep Unnithan.
07:48Nishant Rawal, I want to begin by asking you, sir.
07:50Sardar Sahib wanted the entire country to be united, just as he united other princely states, said the Prime Minister.
07:59But he says Kashmir was divided with a separate constitution and flag.
08:05In hindsight, was Article 370 a big mistake?
08:09What's the Congress's view on this, sir, and on what the Prime Minister said?
08:13Rohroji, first of all, today's day is very important because today is the, I bow my head on 150th, the birth anniversary of the Iron Man of India, Sri Sardar Patel Sahib.
08:27Second, there is a death anniversary of Iron Lady Indira Gandhiji.
08:31And third, you will laugh, third, the death anniversary of seaplane, which has been inaugurated by PM Modi Ji in Gujarat on 31st, October 2020.
08:44And that entire project disappeared and the Gujarati cannot see the seaplane at all.
08:50Invisible seaplane, we don't know.
08:52The important thing is Sardar Patel being always the Iron Man for the Congress Party and for the nation.
08:58But Congress has honored them a lot.
09:01But for BJP, Sardar Patel is just a marketing tool.
09:05Whenever PM Modi comes to Gujarat, comes to the land of Sardar Patel, Mahatma Gandhiji,
09:10instead of spreading Sardar Patel-ji ideology, he always put Congress on criticism.
09:17He always tried to argue with the Congress.
09:20He always tried to abuse the Congress.
09:22Why?
09:23Sardar Patel and Congress, nobody can separate them.
09:26Sardar Patel-ji was the Gujarat-Padish Congress Committee President for 25 years.
09:31And in 1931, Sardar Patel was the President of Indian National Congress.
09:36Being a congressman, Sardar Patel and Nehruji's relation was like brothers.
09:42And so many articles at that time you have seen, Gowroji, you are intelligent enough.
09:46I don't want to show you those articles.
09:48But I would like to say, before BJP came, before BJP born, before PM Modi-ji became PM or CM of Gujarat,
09:57in 19 September 1963, Sardar Patel's statue was inaugurated by Pandit Nehruji and President of India.
10:05Even in Godra, 1949, Sardar Patel's statue was inaugurated by Pandit Nehruji.
10:11And in 1991, Bharat Ratna being awarded to Sardar Patel-ji for his tribute and for his great work to gather the nation.
10:16Sir, let me take this to Tuhin Sina.
10:18Very pertinent points you've made.
10:21So, let me take this to Tuhin Sina.
10:22Tuhin Sina, the Congress has strongly refuted claims that Sardar Patel wasn't recognized by the Congress,
10:29either him individually or the policies.
10:31Because, you know, as Mr. Rawal said, Congress, 13th of February 1949,
10:38Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had unveiled a statue of Sardar Vallabhai Patel in Godra,
10:42where he started his legal practice.
10:44In September 1963, the then President of India, Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan,
10:49unveiled the statue of Sardar Patel in Delhi.
10:52And, of course, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was present there.
10:55There was a simple and powerful inscription at that statue which said,
10:59Architect of India's unity.
11:05Well, good evening, Kauravji.
11:06Good evening, everybody.
11:07A very happy Rashtriya Ekta divas to all of you.
11:11You know, Sardar Patel's life was rooted in two core beliefs.
11:17Nation first and Ek Bharat Shresth Bharat.
11:20Now, what Congress has done over the last few decades is compromised consistently on these two core values.
11:27And there cannot be a bigger insult to the legacy of Sardar Patel than Congress consistently compromising on those values.
11:35And I will give you some examples.
11:36For that matter, in fact, even on 26th October 1947, let me put this on record,
11:43that it was Sardar Patel who had insisted that Nehru make, you know, the King of Kashmir sign on the instrument of accession.
11:54Now, imagine what would have happened if Nehru had gone ahead, you know, with our forces reaching Kashmir even without signing the instrument of accession.
12:01When it came to Hyderabad in September 1948, we have seen how Sardar Patel eventually annexed Hyderabad when Hyderabad would have been a huge national security issue had he not solved it that way.
12:16What did Congress do in the subsequent years? Between 2004 to 2008, you saw all kinds of terror attacks with Congress Party not responding.
12:24But most importantly, Gaurav, I want to read out from a letter which Sardar Patel wrote to Nehru on 7th November 1950,
12:35just about, you know, exactly about 75 years ago, where he had cautioned Nehru on the issue of China.
12:42Let me just read out a few lines. The Chinese government have tried to delude us by professions of peaceful intentions.
12:51There can be no doubt that during the period covered by this correspondence, the Chinese must have been concentrating for an onslaught on Tibet.
13:00The final action of the Chinese, in my judgment, is short of perfidy.
13:04Imagine this letter was written on 7th November 1950 and barely a year later, China took over Tibet.
13:12So, the Congress Party never really, you know, heeded to Sardar Patel's advice, his sagacity on the issue of China.
13:21You can read the entire letter. It is full of deep insights and what the Congress Party eventually did in the years ahead.
13:28Operation Polo was all about liberation.
13:30Including a secret MOU in 2008.
13:34Okay.
13:34Including a secret MOU in 2008.
13:36I'll come back to what, about 2008.
13:39Congress Party never respected the legacy of it.
13:41Okay, Sardar Patel is what you say, but it was the liberation of Hyderabad from the forces of Nizam and the Razakars.
13:49Professor Makhkanlal, is there merit in the Prime Minister saying Congress did not follow the policy and the vision of Sardar Patel, especially on Kashmir?
13:58Because I tell you someone, whenever, normally I avoid sitting with politicians because you ask them anything, but they will speak what they like.
14:09I will not get into Congress and BJP, but I will talk about what the documents say, what the history says, what the Prime Minister says.
14:18His party will definitely answer.
14:20They are competent enough.
14:21Kshmir was being handled by Sardar Patel as Minister of Interior and helped by BP Menon.
14:32Kshmir issue was settled in Conscient Assembly.
14:36All the things were done.
14:38Kshmir became integral part of India as per the Conscient Assembly resolutions.
14:43After that, Nehru deputed Gopala Swami Aayyengar to make certain changes so that there could be two Prime Minister's designation, one for Kshmir, one for India.
14:58Kshmir could have separate Jhanda.
15:00It could have a separate constitution, virtually separating the Kshmir.
15:05And you read the letters, written, exchanged between Gopala Swami Aayyengar and Sardar Patel.
15:12Volume 1, Sardar Patel collected volumes edited by Durga Das, you know.
15:16It's there in 13 volumes.
15:17Volume 1 deals with Sardar Patel's Kshmir issue.
15:21Now, entire thing was changed.
15:25But Gopala Swami Aayyengar said to Sardar Patel,
15:27I have made some little change.
15:31Please have a look at it so that we can place it back again in Conscient Assembly.
15:37Conscient Assembly was closed after discussion.
15:40Sardar Patel read and he said,
15:42it's a new draft and you are talking about minor changes.
15:47Sardar Patel was so angry with that draft
15:50that he wrote a resignation letter to Jawaharlal Nehru on Kshmir issue.
15:56Said that I don't enjoy your confidence.
15:58You have put another outsider on me.
16:01I don't want to serve into the ministry.
16:03Thank you for taking me and giving chance to me to serve into the ministry.
16:08Jawaharlal Nehru came to know about it.
16:11Sardar Patel has put in resignation.
16:13Before it could be leaked out,
16:15Nehru also 7th sense prevailed.
16:21He requested not to press the issue.
16:23Many other senior people requested not to press the issue.
16:27So Sardar Patel's resignation did not go into press.
16:30But it remained in file.
16:32Anybody can see it into volume one.
16:36Entire letter reproduced.
16:38So Sardar Patel later on said
16:41it was virtually ready.
16:43All finished.
16:46But Nehru's insistence
16:47for this inclusion of 370
16:50not through Constantine Assembly.
16:52Remember this.
16:53Yes.
16:53It was put by the special power of President of India.
16:56Not by Constantine Assembly.
16:58And what Modi did?
17:01Some leaders said
17:02Modi let him take birth for 10 times.
17:05Let him become a Prime Minister 10 times.
17:08He cannot touch
17:09Article 370.
17:11What they forgot is
17:12somebody who has the power
17:14to insert
17:15an article in the Constitution
17:17will have the power also
17:19to withdraw it.
17:21So Article 370
17:22was that festering wound
17:24that was finally sorted out
17:25on the 5th of August in 2019.
17:2819.
17:29By same method
17:30President withdrew that
17:32out of the Constitution.
17:34There was no...
17:34Absolutely.
17:35People thought...
17:36What was the need to introduce it
17:37in the first place
17:38is that festering wound
17:40for so many decades.
17:41But Sandeep,
17:42Sardar Patel
17:43had very effectively
17:43sorted out
17:44issues related to
17:46560 states and principalities
17:48including Hyderabad
17:49which had a political
17:50formidable military force
17:53Operation Polo.
17:54Now,
17:54he called Nizam of Hyderabad
17:56under the Nizam
17:57and the Razakars
17:58festering cancer
18:00in India's belly.
18:01of words to that effect
18:03and Operation Polo
18:04was that chemotherapy
18:05to sort it out.
18:07That approach...
18:09Go on.
18:10Go on, Sandeep.
18:12Surgical strike
18:14that Sardar Patel
18:16put into play
18:18to ensure
18:19that this very crucial part
18:22of India
18:22would remain with India.
18:24That was Sardar Patel
18:26being at his
18:27pragmatic best.
18:29I mean,
18:29he was a proponent
18:31of real politics
18:33what we call today
18:33it's very fashionable
18:34after Henry Kissinger
18:35and his writings
18:37and his actions.
18:38But Sardar Patel
18:39proved that
18:39way back
18:40in the 1940s
18:42with Operation Polo
18:43when he sent
18:44the Indian army
18:45to reintegrate
18:46Hyderabad
18:47into India
18:49and use
18:50extreme force
18:51using the Indian
18:51army
18:52and the Nizam
18:54of Hyderabad
18:54who wanted to
18:55break away
18:56in collusion
18:57with foreign powers.
18:58there was
18:59arms
19:00that
19:00you know
19:03manpower
19:03being threatened
19:04precisely for this reason
19:06and you would have
19:07a Kashmir-like
19:08situation
19:08in the heart
19:09of India
19:10in Hyderabad
19:11and that is exactly
19:12what Sardar Patel
19:13you know
19:14averted
19:15with Operation Polo
19:16by sending
19:17the Indian army
19:17it was very
19:19very important
19:20that
19:21India's first
19:26surgical
19:26strike
19:28Absolutely
19:30it's interesting
19:31you put it as
19:32India's first
19:33surgical strike
19:34of the Indian army
19:36as part of
19:37police action
19:38Operation Polo
19:38but Nishant Rawal
19:39does it
19:41not remain a fact
19:42that Dr. Manmohan Singh
19:44had described
19:45I want to just
19:46cut to
19:46his tenure
19:47left-wing
19:48extremism
19:49he defined
19:50as the biggest
19:52threat to India's
19:53internal security
19:54left-wing
19:55extremism
19:56had claimed
19:57not just
19:57lives of those
19:5875 CRPF
19:59personnel
19:59but virtually
20:00the entire
20:01congress leadership
20:01today the
20:03Narendra Modi
20:03government says
20:04they're on the
20:04cusp of
20:05declaring India
20:06red terror
20:06free
20:07by 31st
20:08March

20:10is the
20:10difference
20:10that the
20:11prime minister
20:11points out
20:12on left-wing
20:14extremism

30:20challenge
30:21Indian
30:21territory
30:22in illegal
30:23occupation
30:24of Pakistan
30:24and on our
30:25eastern front
30:26but the
30:26prime minister
30:27is highlighting
30:28mistakes of
30:28the past
30:29when he
30:30talks about
30:30the challenges
30:31of the future
30:31which is
30:32Ghuspeth
30:32here's
30:33absolutely
30:34Gaurav
30:35and you know
30:35what happened
30:36in 1947
30:36was something
30:38that the
30:38Pakistan deep
30:39state
30:40it began
30:40in 1947
30:41and this
30:42has been
30:42a strategy
30:43for them
30:43right through
30:441965
30:44they tried
30:45the same
30:46thing
30:46in 1999
30:47you had
30:47Kargil
30:48where they
30:49infiltrated
30:50the so-called
30:51Mujahideen
30:52who were
30:52actually
30:53northern light
30:53infantry
30:54so this
30:55has been
30:55part of
30:55Pakistan's
30:56deep state
30:57strategy
30:58right from
30:591947
30:59this thing
31:00of using
31:01raiders
31:02to using
31:02infiltrators
31:03to establish
31:04presence
31:05in territories
31:06that they claim
31:07this has been
31:08part of their
31:08playbook
31:08and I think
31:09this is
31:09the first
31:10the cardinal
31:11mistake
31:11that the
31:12political
31:12leadership
31:13under
31:13Prime Minister
31:14Nehru
31:14made in
31:151947
31:15was to
31:16stop
31:17fighting
31:17in
31:17Jammu
31:18and
31:18Kashmir
31:18because
31:19of which
31:19today
31:20the state
31:20of Jammu
31:21and Kashmir
31:21is divided
31:22among three
31:23countries
31:24all of whom
31:24are nuclear
31:25armed
31:25and you
31:26have actually
31:26facilitated
31:27a land
31:28bridge
31:29between
31:29Pakistan
31:29and China
31:30a land
31:31bridge
31:31that did
31:32not exist
31:33until
31:331947
31:34was actually
31:35willy-nilly
31:36created
31:36because
31:37Pakistan
31:38occupiers
31:39the raiders
31:40came in
31:40over there
31:41they captured
31:41large parts
31:42of Gilgit
31:43Baltistan
31:43and Pakistan
31:44occupied
31:44Kashmir
31:45you've
31:45actually
31:46allowed
31:46a land
31:47bridge
31:48a collusivity
31:49between
31:49Pakistan
31:50and China
31:50which is
31:51translated
31:52into the
31:52China
31:52Pakistan
31:53economic
31:54corridor

35:55just
35:5620 seconds
35:59please
36:00just
36:0020 seconds
36:00please
36:01Sandeep
36:02I like
36:02the way
36:02you put
36:03the
36:03statistics
36:04I like
36:05the way
36:05you
36:06said
36:06these
36:07many
36:07hundred thousands were sent abroad between 1947 and 77 gap two years you
36:15rule till 2014 with gaps a few years in whose regime in whose government time
36:22these ghusbettias came and what the government then the government was doing
36:26it appears very nice to say what the home minister is doing what the
36:31defense minister is doing today since when these came jiaul haq had said that
36:38terrorists and ghusbettia are our army he did not say in
36:45bachwett's government or in modi's government when he said that ghusbettia
36:51and terrorists are our army what did you do with that rohingya came went right up
36:58to rohingya went right up to jammu and kashmir in delhi they are occupying areas
37:03in whose regime they came let us accept the responsibility that if our house is
37:10burning don't blame who is saving less and who is saving more just blame first
37:16why the house got into fire how the house absolutely on the issue of ghusbettias i'm
37:21surprised that everybody is not on the same page sandeep
37:24because this isn't a threat to an opposition ruled state or a central ruled
37:28state uh or a ruling party ruled state this is a threat to our country and to
37:34our future generations if demographic profile is being
37:36changed in the manner in which general sinha wrote about it and such a long
37:40time back late general sinha absolutely gaurav you know a demographic as
37:46they say that you know demography is destiny and this is what's happened to
37:51several districts districts of ours uh adjoining our neighbors where you know
37:55you've seen massive changes in demography uh this is not to target any particular
38:00community or any political party but the fact is that there have been
38:03serious demographic changes along the border districts especially
38:07bordering bangladesh and let's not forget gaurav that we went to war with
38:11pakistan in 1971 because pakistan military deliberately pushed refugees in to alter the
38:18demography of our border areas you know and we are still grappling several more than 50
38:24years later most of our northeastern states are still grappling with the effects of what
38:29happened in 1971 and this is something that continues till date that you have entire border
38:35districts that have been changed the demography has been changed uh you know uh majorities have
38:40been turned into minorities in all of those districts so this is something that is really
38:44worrying because you're talking of literally uh you know genocide of a different nature a cultural
38:50genocide that has been brought about by uh you know infiltration by uh you know migrants coming
38:57and settling and altering demographies of entire districts of india you know and that just shows
39:04how myopic some of our leaders are if we are not realizing how grave a threat of these
39:09ghuzpaitiyas is to our future generations so we are not only you know perhaps for votes in today's
39:15generation we are going to destroy the families and future of our of our next generation in our
39:20country with these ghuzpaitiyas professor makhan lal before i bring in mr rawal country will not
39:26survive forget about generations if we don't care ghuzpaitiya if we don't care infiltrators if we don't
39:33bother about the changing demographic system rest assured i have institute of history i can tell you
39:39examples right from all over the world absolutely any country which has not taken care of changing
39:46demographic structure has ceased to exist its original population has become subservient and they have
39:55ceased to matter as simple and and militarily uh everyone's read about the trojan horse uh many of
40:01these infiltrators are being seen as the trojan horse uh in in in various countries general ziaul
40:07huck used them as a weapon we know of that and yet we don't open our eyes to it gaurav he openly said
40:14so i am not bothered about congress left divide i am bothered about this country my loyalty is with
40:21country and i appeal everybody to think about the country and not the criticism of modi shah are this
40:27and that in fact about the country if country will survive you will also survive otherwise end of
40:34absolutely late general sinha's report on assam must be made public and all those details put out in
40:40public domain uh about the change in demographic profile around the india-bangladesh border in assam
40:45and sandeep subsequently um in in bengal the other reports that have come out but mr rawal the
40:50prime minister also accuses the congress of appeasement politics and pursuing the agenda
40:54of outside forces he gave the example of vande matram for example saying the congress removed the
40:59portion of vande matram on religious grounds he seems to indicate that the congress divided the
41:05society and furthered british agenda then the congress decided to break cut and divide vande matram
41:13it laid the foundation of india's partition how would you respond to that sir gaurav ji even today
41:19even today small block level programs whenever we have any block level programs we start our programs
41:27with the song of vande matram vande matram was first time sung officially in any political way
41:34in congress a division before we got the freedom and this is the fact vande matram is in heart and
41:42the soul of each and every indian and who who bring british agenda everyone knows the history knows the
41:51small students also knows that who supported britishers which were which which people were
41:57mafia wheels and they were taking 60 rupees worth of pension from the british government we all knows
42:03we also knows in 1942 when bharat chhodo andolan was going on a small kid worth of two years and
42:12a vrud like like like a aged person of 80 years 85 years join bharat chhodo andolan but none of the
42:20leader of rss none of the leader of hindu mahasabha joined that project you know in 1942 when bharat chhodo
42:27was going on hindu mahasabha was forming a government with sindh pran with bangal pran with
42:34muslim league and india's number one terrorist india's number one fugitive muhammad ali jinnah india's
42:43number one gun muhammad ali jinnah's party who who formed the government with them they later on
42:50this is the bjp policy later on you were criticizing pdp as the terrorist political party and you you
42:58run the government with them for two and a half years and i request p.m modiji you should not have
43:04two faces if you want to criticize congress in some fault in some mistakes you also criticize your people
43:11who went to muhammad ali jinnah's major adwani jinnah why he didn't quote about adwani jinnah that it was
43:18bjp's mistake it was it was p.m modiji's guru's mistake that he went to muhammad ali jinnah's major for
43:25to to to to give him a tribute only one citizen of india went to muhammad ali jinnah's major
43:31let me bring in professor makhanlal on the aspect of vande matram and the country marking 150 years
43:38of the iconic national song why were the british so against vande matram and post-independence
43:44should anyone have an issue with vande matram like some do sir just look at the wordings of vande matram
43:52vande matram very clearly instills and fills you with pride pride towards whom pride your culture
44:05motherland pride your country pride your motherland and i must sell with all respect something which
44:13has been published and why it was opposed why it was opposed i will have an example of it 1953

46:55saying that you know there is a certain civilizational continuum that we have seen with india which
47:01is a young democracy it's a young republic it's a young nation but it's an ancient civilization more
