00:26That's the big talking point we'll have, but we've got plenty more on the show tonight. But first, as always, it's time for the nine headlines at night.

03:26But our top story tonight is coming from Parliament,
03:29where the winter session of Parliament opened on a rather predictable stormy note.
03:34It all started with the Prime Minister urging the opposition to stop what he called drama and focus on delivery.
03:41And I...
03:42Parliament witnessed a stormy start to the winter session on Monday,
04:03with the battle over SIR taking centre stage from the very first hour.
04:07Ahead of the session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged members of Parliament
04:12to keep the focus on meaningful discussion and not on drama.
04:16The
04:43Lekin, yaha toh nare nahin, neeti parbal dina chahiyeh.
04:50Within minutes, the Congress hit back.
04:54It is a huge issue for democracy.
04:58What is going on?
04:59Whether it's the election situation or the SIR.
05:02Speaking about issues, raising issues is not drama.
05:06Drama is not allowing discussion.
05:08Drama is not having a democratic discussion about issues that matter to the public.
05:13As Parliament convened, protests erupted in both houses.
05:18In the Lok Sabha, opposition MPs raised vote-tory slogans
05:22and demanded an immediate discussion on the SIR exercise.
05:26MPs stormed the well of the House, accusing the government of rushing the SIR process,
05:32not giving booth-level officers enough time and allegedly attempting voter suppression.
05:37This vote is not SIR. What is the work of the election commission?
05:40What is the work of the election commission?
05:42The election commission has said that the vote will be made more than the vote.
05:45But the party will be made more than the vote will be made more than the vote will be made more than the vote.
05:49This is not the work of the SIR.
05:51The government, however, maintained that the SIR is a routine electoral process and rejected all allegations.
06:02With day one marked by disruptions, the big question remains,
06:07will this winter session see a thaw in government-opposition ties or will it only get more hostile?
06:14Bureau Report, India Today.
06:16Okay, remember, first day, first show, what's happened in the winter session of parliament
06:30clearly could set the tone once again for potentially another parliament session to be marked by severe disruptions.
06:38Remember, session after session, we've seen in recent times the government and the opposition tangling with each other over various issues.
06:49Remember, let's raise the big questions.
06:53Who is the real drama-e-baas?
06:55Is it the government or the opposition?
06:58Who is avoiding the debate on key issues?
07:00Is it the government or is it the opposition?
07:03Is there a trust deficit at the heart of the parliament standoff that is preventing a discussion on serious issues in every session of parliament?
07:14That's going to be the heart of the political face-off today.
07:17We'll be joined by representatives of the two major parties.
07:21Remember, it is both the opposition and the government who are blaming each other for the standoff in parliament.
07:28But since this has been happening in every session over the last few sessions, there are serious questions now being raised,
07:36not just over the relevance of parliament, but also over just why can't our parliament function and debate the core issues of our times.
07:48The prime minister has said drama.
07:51The opposition MPs have raised once again vote-chory slogans.
07:54It almost seems like a deja vu from what happened during the monsoon session of parliament.
08:01And that is the real concern that's building up at the moment.
08:05Because remember, it's your and my taxpayers' money.
08:08Every session of parliament, every day of parliament that's lost, the taxpayer bears the brunt of the expenses of parliament.
08:17That's the question that we need to ask ourselves as citizens.
08:21Parliamentary democracy, the last thing you want is parliament to be devalued.
08:27Just look at those numbers.
08:28Running parliament for one minute costs 2.5 lakhs.
08:32Running parliament for one hour costs 1.5 crores.
08:37Running parliament for six hours a day costs 9 crores.
08:41That's the parliament face-off then.
08:43Joining me now, Syed Nasir Hussain, member of parliament of the Congress,
08:47and Sudhanshu Trivedi, BJP member of parliament.
08:50Appreciate both of you joining us.
08:52I want to go to you, Sudhanshu Trivedi first.
08:54The prime minister starts the winter session of parliament saying,
08:58urging opposition, stop the drama.
09:00It's time for delivery.
09:02Now, who is doing the drama?
09:03Is it the government or the opposition?
09:06Isn't it the government's responsibility to get parliament to function, Mr. Trivedi?
09:10Rajiv Trivedi, if you see just the incidence of today,
09:18one of the very famous member of parliament from Congress party,
09:22who is more famous rather than infamous for a very high decibel laughter,
09:28now today brought one dog inside it.
09:31And then she said that she had developed a sympathy and other things and this and that on that.
09:36Whatever it was.
09:37But do you think that it was appropriate to come inside...
09:41You're referring to Renuka Chaudhly bringing a dog into parliament,
09:44bringing her puppy into her car.
09:46And, and, yes, yes.
09:50And not only this.
09:51She said ki kaatne wale ye nahi hai, kaatne wale kaayi aur baite hai.
09:55It means indirectly she is talking about the member of parliament
09:59and equating them, their stances with a bite of dog.
10:04Drama number one.
10:05Drama number two, you remember, in the last session of parliament,
10:09the mimicry of vice president of the stairs of parliament
10:12by Mr. Kalyan Benerji.
10:14And Rahul Gandhiji is making the video of that.
10:17Now it is up to the viewers to decide whether it was drama or not.
10:21On the voting day of the work board, late in the night,
10:24we all would remain at 3.30 a.m. in the morning.
10:27Who came in pyjama and t-shirt? Rahul Gandhiji.
10:30It is not in drama.
10:31It is up to the viewers to decide.
10:33Then, in the first speech after 2024 election,
10:38he has not taken oath in the name of God.
10:40He has solemnly affirmed.
10:41But put the photos of Bhagwan Shankar and Guru Nanak Dev
10:45and putting this, that, this, that.
10:47And this is drama or not.
10:48In the work board meeting,
10:50throwing the water bottle on the chairperson
10:54and then getting injured and others,
10:56whether it is a drama or not.
10:57In the previous parliament,
10:59Rahul Gandhiji stood up and almost fallen on Prime Minister,
11:03then came back on his seat
11:04and doing a signal like
11:06whether it was a drama or not.
11:09That's why I would like to say
11:11it is for the millions of voters who have decided
11:14and bringing the Palestine bag,
11:17bringing a bag, a lady's bag,
11:20Priyanka Gandhi bought
11:21and it was written on Palestine.
11:23So, I think those who are putting allegation on Prime Minister,
11:26they should have to see the mirror,
11:28which is a line that I would like to say
11:30that this is a lie in the middle of the year.
11:32This is a lie in the middle of the year.
11:33This is a lie in the middle of the year.
11:34They say it is a lie in the middle of the year.
11:35And they say it is a lie in the middle of the year.
11:36Okay, you've given specific instances,
11:43Nasser Hussain.
11:44There are several specific instances,
11:46Sudhanushu is citing,
11:47where he claims that this is drama.
11:49The latest, and I'll put those visuals up,
11:51is Renuka Chaudhri,
11:52the Rajasama MP,
11:53bringing her dog
11:54into a car in parliament.
11:56Previous instances, of course,
11:58Rahul Gandhi going and reaching out
12:01in a previous parliament,
12:03in the previous Lok Sabha,
12:04trying to hug the Prime Minister.
12:06All of this, according to the BJP,
12:08is examples of drama.
12:10How do you respond?
12:11When the Prime Minister says,
12:13drama, enough of drama,
12:15let's do delivery,
12:16how does the opposition respond?
12:21Rajdeep, I think
12:24parliament is the highest decision-making body
12:29of our country.
12:30It's a place where debate and discussions
12:31need to take place.
12:33And it has to be facilitated by the government.
12:36It's a government responsibility
12:37to run the house.
12:38If the Prime Minister thinks
12:40the issues that have been raised
12:42by opposition in the last several sessions
12:44are drama,
12:46then I'm sorry to say
12:47he doesn't understand
12:49the seriousness of the issues
12:50that have been raised
12:51by the opposition parties.
12:53In any parliamentary democracy,
12:56the government comes
12:57with its agenda
12:58in the form of bills.
13:00And the opposition
13:01raises the issues
13:02that concerns the people
13:03of the country,
13:04raises the issues
13:04that concerns the nation itself.
13:07It is the duty
13:07and responsibility
13:08of the government
13:09to accommodate
13:10the agenda
13:11of the opposition.
13:12If you don't consider it
13:13as an agenda,
13:15consider it
13:16as the issues
13:17of the day
13:17and that needs
13:18to be accommodated.
13:20In the last 75 plus years
13:23of parliamentary democracy,
13:25we have seen
13:25several governments
13:26come and go,
13:27several parties
13:27are forming the government
13:29at the center.
13:30They have accommodated
13:31the issues
13:32that have been raised
13:33by the opposition
13:34during those days.
13:36From Nehru
13:36to Manmohan Singh,
13:38every single,
13:38including
13:39Vajpayee at times,
13:41they have accommodated
13:41the issues
13:42that have been raised
13:42by the opposition.
13:43If Pradhan Mantri
13:47Narendra Modi
13:48thinks
13:48raising an issue
13:50of the oat chodi
13:52is a drama,
13:53I can't help it.
13:54If raising issue
13:57concerning the foreign policy
13:58of the country
13:58is drama,
13:59then I can't help it.
14:02If we are asking
14:02for a discussion
14:03on Operation Sindor,
14:05if it is drama,
14:06I can't help it.
14:07If we are asking
14:08for a discussion
14:08on Chinese incursions
14:10in our country,
14:12then if we think
14:13it is a drama,
14:13I can't help it.
14:14If we are asking
14:15for a discussion
14:16on Manipur,
14:17we have been asking
14:18for session after session.
14:19The Pradhan Mantri
14:20took almost
14:20one and a half years
14:21to go to Manipur
14:22when people
14:23of our own country
14:24were fighting
14:25against each other.
14:26Then if that is drama,
14:27then I can't help it.
14:28If we are asking
14:29for a discussion
14:30on unemployment,
14:32we are asking
14:32for a discussion
14:33on GST,
14:34if we are asking
14:34for a discussion
14:36on so many other things,
14:38so if the Pradhan Mantri
14:39thinks it is drama
14:40and only the bills
14:42that have been
14:42tabled by the government
14:44are something
14:46that has to be debated.
14:47I have allowed
14:47both of you, sir.
14:48Just one second,
14:49Rajiv.
14:49Just one second.
14:51Rajiv, one second,
14:52once again.
14:53If he just thinks
14:54that these are drama
14:55and only what the government
14:56brings as an agenda
14:57is to be debated,
14:59I am sure
14:59then it is not parliament,
15:01then it is only
15:01just government
15:02running its show.
15:06Okay.
15:07We have heard both sides.
15:08Sudhanshu Trivedi,
15:09you see,
15:09the question is,
15:11what is the purpose
15:12of parliament?
15:13Is it to discuss
15:14issues of national importance?
15:16Now, you have raised
15:17various issues
15:17where you say,
15:18for example,
15:19today you mentioned
15:20Renuka Chaudhary
15:21bringing her dog in.
15:22Now, you could argue
15:23that that was poor form,
15:25some would say.
15:26Either way,
15:27the substantive issues
15:28which now
15:29Nasir Hussain is raising,
15:30I am told
15:31the government
15:31wants to have a debate
15:32or discussion
15:33on 150 years
15:35of Vande Matram.
15:35But the same government
15:37does not want to
15:37discuss the electoral
15:39reforms
15:40or the manner
15:40in which electoral
15:42roles have been
15:42allegedly contaminated.
15:44It won't discuss
15:45air pollution.
15:46It won't discuss
15:47Chinese incursions.
15:48It won't discuss
15:49Manipur
15:51until it was forced
15:52to through
15:52a no-confidence motion.
15:53So, it's a question
15:54what is parliament
15:55for?
15:56Sudhanushu Trivedi,
15:57is it for discussing
15:58substantive issues
15:59or is it for discussing
16:01only what the government
16:02wants the government's agenda?
16:10Rajdeep ji,
16:10I will reply
16:11with not only
16:12substantive
16:13but quantitative answer.
16:14Nasir Hussain ji
16:15must be remembering
16:16and you must also
16:17be remembering.
16:18He is saying
16:18that we are not
16:19allowing discussion
16:20on Manipur.
16:21In the last parliament
16:22before 2015
16:23the entire
16:25no-confidence motion
16:26was brought
16:27on the issue
16:28of Manipur
16:28by Tarun Gogoi.
16:30We accept it
16:31and I challenge
16:32all the viewers

16:35speeches of
16:35Congress Party

19:42to say that they are trying to hoodwink the people on the issue and last i would like to say
19:49it is a competitive politics among the various opposition parties to prove that how far they can
20:00go in giving anti-modi hate speech anti-modi anguish anti-modi abusing or anti-bjp rsss abusing so this
20:10jawabhi is creating a problem among themselves because they think that the only common vote
20:17which is a gluing factor among the india alliances otherwise you cannot say ki tamil nadu mein stalin
20:23or mamta banar ji bengal ke bich pe common vote kaun sa hai that common vote may be placated by a
20:30consistent competitive kavali against bjp rsss and moody so i think this is the root cause not any
20:39substantive factual argument or issue you you know nasir hussein in what sudhan shudh drivedi is doing is
20:50using word like competitive kavali what he seems to suggest is the opposition also has got desperate
20:56today the government claimed that this desperation is because of election defeats in the last one year
21:01do you believe that sir can be debated by parliament given the fact that there is no ministry that
21:06directly controls the election commission let's resolve that once and for all can you debate sir in
21:12parliament when no direct ministry is involved just as you cannot debate an issue concerning a
21:17particular state because that does not involve the center
21:21rajib before coming to your question let me answer the issues raised by sudhan shudh drivedi
21:31he was speaking about the discussion on manipur can he tell me when was the discussion
21:39when was the discussion taken up on manipur we had to go to the extent of moving a no confidence motion
21:49that is that is that is that is the kind of parliamentary democracy that they are practicing
21:54when did the government withdraw the farm laws after 14 months after 14 months and after after so many deaths of
22:04farmers and even today even in this sirxs already 47 blos have given their lives you are conducting an excise for over 1 billion voters in just around two months time is it humanly possible
22:20yes
22:26can even
22:28this
22:28you
22:29you
22:30can
22:33it
22:34any
22:35can
22:37you
22:37let me
22:38just
22:39see let me let me just finish 야

22:43Anti
22:43an
22:46onLe is
22:47One
22:48onLe who
22:48in the functioning of the election commission.
22:51We are thinking, yesterday in all-party
22:53meeting we said, today in the parliament
22:54we said, okay, don't have a debate on
22:56SIR, let us have a debate on
22:58electoral reforms, let us
23:01have an election, let us
23:03have a discussion in any
23:04other name concerning the
23:06elections that are being conducted
23:09in our country after 75 years.
23:11Why shouldn't we have a review? Why shouldn't we
23:13have an election? And there is
23:14nothing in this country which
23:16cannot be discussed in the parliament
23:18parliament is the highest decision-making
23:21body, government is accountable
23:23government cannot just say
23:25and wash his hands
23:26by saying that it's an independent body
23:28it cannot be discussed.
23:30We know how they
23:31do you agree
23:34Syed Nasir Hussain
23:35that standing
23:39okay, I'll come to Sudhan
23:42Shua on that, but do you agree that it is
23:44not the right way to say, for example
23:47in some sessions we've seen
23:48MPs get up on a table and start
23:50shouting, that is also not acceptable
23:52yes or no, or you condone that behaviour?
23:58Rajjay, now we are discussing
24:00what issues to be taken or not taken
24:02whether the government is taking up the issues
24:04that have been raised by the opposition
24:06or not, point number one.
24:08Point number two, we
24:09today
24:10what the kind of
24:13behaviour by certain MPs and all
24:15we'll discuss in some other debate
24:18when there is time for that.
24:19But the whole point here is
24:21is
24:22our parliament
24:23being utilised, is there enough time
24:26being given to discuss
24:28both the issues that are being brought
24:30by the government
24:31and the larger issues that are being
24:33raised by the opposition?
24:34Why is the government
24:35running away
24:36from these issues?
24:38why is it
24:39hesitant to discuss
24:40these issues?
24:41Why do you want to have
24:42a 12-day session?
24:46Let us have
24:47one month session
24:48we are ready to sit
24:49late in the night
24:50let us have
24:5045-day session
24:51why are you having
24:52a smallest session?
24:5412 productive days
24:55and you have
24:5713 weeks
24:57Sir, let me take that
25:00to Sudhanshu
25:00Sir, you have raised
25:02a valid point
25:02you have raised
25:05you have raised
25:05a valid point
25:06Sudhanshu Trivedi
25:07you all are first of all
25:08cutting short the session
25:09then on top of it
25:11you are
25:11no no, one minute
25:12Sudhanshu now
25:12you are saying
25:14that we cannot discuss
25:15the election commission
25:16but the truth of the matter
25:17is when
25:17when outside parliament
25:19you are more than happy
25:20to defend the election commission
25:21when the vote chori
25:22allegations are made
25:23better to do it
25:24inside parliament
25:25settle these issues
25:26inside parliament
25:27parliament is the
25:28ultimate forum
25:29for debate
25:29you did not discuss
25:31the Chinese intrusion
25:32citing national security
25:33it took you a long time
25:35to eventually discuss
25:36Manipur
25:37you are reluctant
25:38to discuss
25:38covid management
25:39the general sense
25:41according to the opposition
25:42is the government
25:42is running away
25:43from real issues
25:44you do not want to
25:45you only want to
25:46discuss issues
25:47that fit in
25:48with your political agenda
25:49now that is not
25:50the way parliament
25:51can run
25:52then you might as well
25:52have a notice board
25:53where only government
25:54decides the agenda
25:55of parliament
25:56forget the opposition

38:16so my my final word therefore nasir hussein if they are being seen as arrogant as y'all are
38:30accusing them unwilling to be held accountable y'all are also being seen to be divided and
38:35disruptive how do you respond that the opposition also cannot get its act together work cohesively
38:42as a team rajiv three things one is that he spoke about videography and blos and other
38:52things the moot question here is when you are deleting 65 lakh votes in one state so where
39:00does the question comes off whether you are doing videography or not doing videography
39:04targeted 65 lakh voters were deleted in bihar we are not raising that issue now we have been
39:10raising this issue from much before the much before the election time we have raised this
39:15issue point number one point number two he spoke about notices being given under rule 267 in
39:21raj sabha charlie is pacha satar obviously when 60 70 mps are asking for a discussion 70 mps
39:29is something like 30 percent of the house in raj sabha if they are asking for a discussion
39:34why are you so hesitant and running away for discussion third he said that ye chori wo chori
39:40you are stealing the right to vote you are denying the right to vote if i have to just if you
39:53have to just wind up by saying see when neheru proposed that we will have an universal adult
39:58franchise the the ideology to which he belongs was was arguing for limited franchise that is exactly what
40:09they are doing even today in today's democracy can i do can i give both of you sir sir can i give both
40:16of you a reality check you all are senior mps and i want my producer to put up these numbers number of
40:21sittings in lok sabha 1999 to 2004 356 sittings 2004 to 2009 332 2009 to 2014 357 2014 to 2019 331
40:362019 to 2024 this was the covid years came down to 230 source prs india don't both of you i'll again give
40:44a final word of 30 seconds don't both of you feel parliament is being devalued sir
40:49you should be sitting more not less we are the taxpayers you you know we want you to have more
40:56debates more discussion you are excellent speakers you come on tv channels why don't you debate it in
41:02we want to discuss debate and deliberate in every aspect that's why we we want that there should be
41:15a healthy discussion but the problem is when there is no coherence i give you one example congress brought
41:22267 notice on issue of adani last uh in november 2024 and ramgopal yadav ji who is a leader of the
41:31parliamentary party of uh rajya sabha samajwadi party he said adani vadani mudda nahi hai sambal pe discussion
41:37this shows the level of incoherence they are having so that's why we are saying they are itself a
41:52divided house and they are deciding their own priorities and trying to put a blame on us
41:57okay i've heard i've heard you i've given you 15 second nasir usain otherwise you'll say i've given
42:06more time to sudhan shoot trivedi you have to admit that you are a divided house sir
42:10you are going to fight the left in kerala you are going to fight the uh trinamul in bengal but in
42:18parliament those divisions are coming out radeep radeep let us discuss this issue in some other
42:28debate at some point of time now what is more important here is whether uh entire opposition
42:34is asking for one uh issue or two issues or three issues is not important how many issues of the
42:41opposition that the opposition has raised the government has accommodated so for point number
42:46one point number two see you this is the shortest session operation days if you take away three
42:52fridays only 12 days 13 bills i as an whip of congress party in raj sabha would like to propose
43:00let us have a 30 day session let us have a 45 day session you bring your bills we will sit and discuss
43:07and help you in passing if there is a consensus on that and you accommodate our issues which we raise
43:13they are the issues concerning the people of this country they are the issues concerning the national
43:18security of this country i okay i'm going to leave it there i've extended this this debate because i
43:26heard two fine voices giving two clear perspectives and i was happy that you didn't cross talk which i
43:33think has enhanced also your positions before our viewers sudhan shoot trivedi nasir hussein for joining
43:39me on this big political face off on the first day of the winter session i appreciate you for taking
43:44the time now we've heard from the politicians but what is the reality on the ground because serious
43:50concerns are emerging truth be told on the pressures that boot level officers are facing across multiple
43:57states where the sir exercise is going on today a heart-rending video came out from uttar pradesh
44:03where a blo died by suicide allegedly claiming the severe work pressure the election commission has now
44:11extended the deadline for filling up the sir forms by a week but is it enough tonight's ground report
44:17take a look this is sarvesh singh a booth level officer in uttar pradesh breaking down citing work pressure
44:38the school teacher from bahari village later allegedly took his life
44:47he allegedly left a two-page suicide note saying i quote i have been working day and night yet i am unable to achieve
44:56as i are targets i only get two to three hours of sleep i have four daughters two of whom are unwell
45:03please forgive me and i unquote the school head master
45:09the district authorities denied claims of work pressure
45:25while the police are then
45:48In Dholpur, Rajasthan, a BLO died late Saturday night after suffering a cardiac arrest.
46:0242-year-old Anuj Garg, a school teacher, was uploading forms at 1 a.m. when he complained of chest pain.
46:10He was rushed to the hospital but did not survive.
46:14Last Wednesday, Sudhir Kumar Kori was to get married.
46:18His family, preparing for his wedding celebrations, ended mourning his untimely death.
46:24A day before the wedding, Sudhir, a BLO in UPS, Fatehpur, allegedly died by suicide.
46:33Family says he was troubled after higher officials threatened to suspend him for skipping a meeting.
46:39In just the last one month, over 30 booth-level officers have died after the rollout of the Election Commission's special intensive revision.
46:59Some of them, allegedly by suicide.
47:03Families of many of the victims have blamed the workload.
47:07The EC has extended the deadline for BLOs by one week.
47:12What began as a revision of electoral rolls has now turned into an exercise with real human consequences.
47:19EuroReport, India Today.
47:22Maybe we need to send our MPs to the ground to find out what's actually happening with booth-level officers.
47:32Okay, welcome back.
47:38Let's turn to the story that's breaking at the moment.
47:41The Department of Telecommunications this evening has now directed all mobile manufacturers
47:46to pre-install the Sanchar Saathi app on every new handset sold in India.
47:54According to the government order, the app must be enabled and fully functioning
47:59from the moment a user sets up their device.
48:02Manufacturers have also been instructed to ensure that users cannot disable or restrict the app or any of its features.
48:10The DOT says the move is aimed at preventing the sale of counterfeit mobile phones,
48:15curbing cyber threats and aiding the tracking and blocking of lost or stolen devices.
48:21Mobile companies have been given 90 days to implement the order,
48:25120 days to submit a compliance report.
48:29Joining me now, Aishwarya Patil joins me from business today.
48:32Explain, Aishwarya, to our viewers what this order means.
48:37Well, one of the points that you just mentioned,
48:40I had the opportunity to speak to someone from the telecom side,
48:44the DOT side, in fact, disabling the application will still be an option for users,
48:50is what I've been told.
48:52But that could be a possibility,
48:54depending on how this app is implemented, really,
48:59and the permission that it takes.
49:01So I've installed this application on my phone,
49:03and it gives you five services so far.
49:07It takes your SIM connections and your identity.
49:11It has the permission to make calls,
49:13look at your call logs,
49:15your SMSs,
49:16and also this reporting fraud automatically through all of these services.
49:21It can also block your IMPI data,
49:25which is, of course,
49:25already registered with the user.
49:28But these are some of the concerns that advocates are saying,
49:33and tech enthusiasts have pointed out.
49:35It could breach your privacy in the future.
49:38And also when the OS updates that particular application,
49:43you don't know what app permissions your phone has,
49:46and the government has access to.
49:48So some pessimists have that opinion.
49:52And on the other side,
49:54some of them are also saying that this could actually create guardrails
49:58and more security as far as users are concerned.
50:02Sanchar Sati app,
50:03the government says,
50:04is a way for you to sort of control cyber frauds on your mobile application.
50:11So that's the government side.
50:12But there are also concerns of privacy being breached
50:15as far as this application is concerned,
50:17because it's going to be a permanent application.
50:19Right.
50:23Aishwarya, we're going to leave it there.
50:24We'll, of course,
50:25get more details on how this app is actually going to be enforced by the government,
50:29whether it will violate certain privacy rules.
50:31That's the concern.
50:32The government says it's designed for ensuring greater cybersecurity.
50:36Let me turn from there to tonight's Get Real India story.
50:39It comes from Rajasthan,
50:40where the state education department has sparked off a controversy
50:43by asking school students first to observe December 6th,
50:48the day the Babri Masjid was demolished as Shaurya Divas,
50:52when there was a bit of an uproar.
50:53The government quickly reversed its decision and said it was doing so
50:57because of exams that were coming up.
51:00Either way, the education department of Rajasthan,
51:03a state that has been in the news for the wrong reasons,
51:06for the state of some of its schools,
51:08has focused on a toxic political issue.
51:12What is the reality on the ground?
51:14Tonight's Get Real India story comes from Rajasthan.
51:22The demolition of Babri Masjid on December 6th, 1992 was held to be a criminal act by the Supreme Court.
51:42But for the Bhajanlal Sharma government in Rajasthan,
51:47it is an act of bravery and valor.
51:50The state education department ordered government schools to mark December 6th
51:54as Shaurya Divas with special events,
51:57only to withdraw the order after criticism from civil society.
52:01The education department, in a statement,
52:05said Shaurya Divas events are postponed
52:07as exams are being held on December 5th and 6th in schools across the state.
52:12The education department's Shaurya Divas' directive to schools,
52:41seen as an imposition of politics on young minds,
52:45came at a time when it had many other pressing matters to attend.
52:50The state of school infrastructure, for instance.
52:53Just a few kilometers away from Jaipur,
52:56this government school is a picture of neglect.
52:59Cracks in walls, broken switchboards,
53:02peeling plaster, damaged fans and broken window panes.
53:05Just a few months ago,
53:09seven students had died after a part of the school building collapsed in Jhalavar.
53:14In the same month, wall of another school in Udaipur collapsed.
53:19After the Jhalavar tragedy in July,
53:21the Rajasthan High Court had stepped in.
53:23It cited a survey by school teachers
53:25which covered 63,000 and 18 government schools in the state.
53:29The survey found 86,934 classrooms to be fully dilapidated and unsafe for use.
53:375,667 school buildings were assessed as completely unfit for occupation.
53:43The survey also identified 17,109 toilets as dilapidated
53:48and 29,093 toilets as requiring repairs.
53:52With Devankur Vadhavan, Bureau Report, India Today.
53:55Think about that story as you sleep tonight.
54:01What should be the priorities of schools?
54:03Playing politics with the lives of students,
54:06declaring December 6th as Shauria Divas?
54:08Or should it be just improving the quality of instruction,
54:13the quality of infrastructure
54:14and the quality of education in our schools?
54:18That's a thought to ponder off.
54:19You cannot build a great nation, a Viksit Bharat,
54:23unless you get your school education system right.
54:28Think about it.
54:29We try and leave you with that thought tonight.
54:31To all our viewers, thanks for watching.
54:34Stay well, stay safe.
54:35Good night.
54:36Shubratri.
54:37Jai Hind.
54:37Namaskar.
55:00Bye-bye.
55:01Bye-bye.
55:04Have a great day.
55:04Bye-bye.
55:05Bye-bye.
55:05Bye-bye.
55:07Bye-bye.
55:07Bye-bye.
