04:03A dramatic showdown in Parliament as the opposition's no-trust motion against Lok Sabha
04:09Speaker Om Bidla, a motion poised to failed, was debated in the House.
04:15Day two of the debate saw protests, sharp exchanges and high political drama inside and outside Parliament as the second
04:23leg of the budget session continued.
04:29Congress MPs also staged protests in the Parliament complex over reports of a shortage of commercial LPG cylinders across the
04:37country.
04:39Inside the House, the debate quickly escalated into a direct confrontation between the government and the opposition.
04:45Of sending MPs to the Speaker's chamber.
04:50Don't threaten me Mr. Kiran Rejuji.
04:52What I am told, what I am told, I am not told, this must not because of the Speaker's alone.
05:00Last time, I raised the issue of the Prime Minister being compromised.
05:05I raised the issue of Mr. Naravane.
05:07I was silenced.
05:08Permission that after the speech of Remi Shankar Prasadji, you will be given a scope to speak.
05:14Our Prime Minister has been compromised, everybody knows.
05:17I would like to very gently remind the Honourable Leader of Opposition that the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi,
05:26can never be compromised.
05:31The Congress, however, doubled down on its criticism.
05:36Whenever we are standing for speaking something, mic is not allowed.
05:41Because this is the only window for opposition to speak something about all the freedoms of the Parliament, which is
05:51completely curtailed by ruling friends.
05:55Personally, I am, Umaralaji may be okay, but his hands are completely tied up.
06:02How can a Speaker work clean that atmosphere?
06:07The charge triggered a sharp response from the Treasury benches.
06:11Responding to the allegations, Home Minister Amit Shah strongly defended the Speaker.
06:18The Speaker's seat is up to the party.
06:22The President has put the seat of the seat of the Speaker's seat in a way.
06:26They are holding the seat of the Mahtemate.
06:29Certainly, the government has put the question of the Shankha on that.
06:34They have made questions about the Shankha in this view.
06:35The Shankha and the Shankha agreed to ask the subject of these twoees of Amit,
06:39The Shankha became aware of the power of the People'sized of the people of the Nine.
06:43And those who have reached the field of the Shankha,
06:47the Shankha, the Sheshaosf Vipaks have thus quickly issued a question between the Shankha.
06:55Two days of protests, accusations and political crossfire later.
07:00The motion against Aum Vidhla has once again exposed the deepening trust deficit between
07:05the government and the opposition inside parliament.
07:09Bureau Report, India Today.
07:11The motion against Aum Vidhla is also a party.
07:21Many times in our lives are observed.
07:25People are going to work and a big deal with the party.
07:29It is a great deal.
07:31It is a great deal.
07:40We are not coming here.
07:44It is a great deal.
07:44But with this, we have not been here.

10:07are getting problem with our conduct.
10:17All the latest news break coming in right after the Home Minister's response
10:21on the floor of the House and after that vote
10:22where the no-confidence motion was defeated from the share might
10:27of strength that the NDA has Priyanka Gandhi has come out
10:30lashing out at Home Minister Amit Shah. Priyanka Gandhi right outside Parliament
10:34who said Home Minister Shah used the most unparliamentary language in Parliament,
10:39invoked Rahul's act to Prime Minister Modi in Parliament.
10:42Opposition now is demanding an apology from your Home Minister.
10:46Listen up.
11:08So the opposition now demanding an apology from the Home Minister,
11:12from the fiery face-off in Parliament.
11:14Let's cut across to what is poised to be a fiery face-off in our studios.
11:19And both of our speakers will get two minutes each to put their point forward
11:23and automatically, thankfully, unfortunately, the fader will go down
11:26and we will not be able to hear you.
11:29Welcome, Dr. Shama Mohammed, National Spokesperson Congress.
11:32Welcome, Sanju Verma, National Spokesperson, Bharatiya Janata Party.
11:36Let's kickstart with Dr. Shama Mohammed with what the Home Minister said,
11:40Dr. Mohammed, that the Leader of Opposition attendance is abysmal.
11:46He spent more time abroad than in the Parliament.
11:48How will he speak?
11:49Go, ma'am.
11:50Your two minutes start now.
11:51You know, the Home Minister has no idea what he's saying.
11:55First and foremost, let's understand one thing.
11:57Rahul Gandhi is there every time in Parliament.
12:01Look at the Prime Minister of India.
12:02He's hardly there.
12:03Let's not forget that when Pahalgam happened, the Prime Minister comes from Saudi,
12:08but he doesn't go to meet the people in Pahalgam.
12:11He goes to Bihar for a rally to campaign.
12:14Rahul Gandhi goes to Pahalgam to meet the people, the victims' families,
12:19and he also went to Haryana to meet the victims' families and various other places.
12:23A bomb blast happens at Red Fort.
12:2613 people die.
12:27I think 13, a bit more than that, die.
12:30What does the Prime Minister do at that night?
12:31He leaves for Bhutan.
12:33What does he do in Bhutan?
12:34To celebrate the birthday of the King of Bhutan.
12:36When people are dying here, they are crying here, the Prime Minister is on celebration mode.
12:42Let's understand very important about this Om Birla's issue is that Article 349, which he,
12:49Rule 349, which he invoked when Rahul Gandhi was quoting Naravne's book, he said, you can't.
12:56But at the same time, Nishikaan Dube is given three minutes and he's quoting books after books against Nehru and
13:03Mrs. Indira Gandhi.
13:04But he does not take any sort of action against Nishikaan Dube.
13:08And then what does he do?
13:09He says the next day there are eight MPs waiting to attack you, women MPs to the Prime Minister,
13:14and ask him not to speak.
13:15So this shows us partisan behavior.
13:18And let me tell you, in the history of our parliament, 146 MPs were suspended at the same time
13:27when they questioned the breach of security inside the parliament.
13:31And this is the man who took no action on Pragya Thakur when she said inside parliament,
13:37and also this is the speaker who took no action against Ramesh Viduri when he called a Muslim katwa,
13:46Atangwadi, inside parliament.
13:47So this man has no right, Om Birla, to be the speaker.
13:51And Amit Shah has no right to speak against Rahul Gandhi because the Prime Minister of India is never inside
13:57parliament.
13:58He comes like a king and he sits there, he gives his sermon and he leaves.
14:03Let's not forget about Manmohan Singh Ji, when the QG scam...
14:08Okay, your time is over, ma'am.
14:10Ma'am, your time is over.
14:11Your fader is going to go down on its own.
14:13All right.
14:14Sanju Verma, you want to come in for a rebuttal?
14:16Because, you know, to quote the 17th Lok Sabha,
14:20when Rahul Gandhi's attendance was 51%, juxtapose it to now where it's 80%.
14:27You know, Preeti, first things first.
14:34But look at Rahul Gandhi's pathetic track record.
14:38This rabble rouser goes abroad at Cambridge and he says,
14:42why are the US and the European Union not intervening in India?
14:46This man, Rahul Gandhi, goes to Texas and he says,
14:49Sikhs in India are not allowed to visit gurudwaras or wear a kada and wear a turban.
14:55Then you have the same Rahul Gandhi, despite being warned repeatedly by the Supreme Court,
15:00he keeps, you know, saying chokidar chor hai, chokidar chor hai from every available rooftop.
15:06This is the same Rahul Gandhi who fancies himself as leader of the opposition,
15:11but fails to forget that, you know, fails to realize that with great power comes great responsibility.
15:18Let me say one thing, Preeti, for the benefit of your audience.
15:21Inflation, Modi government was willing Rahul Gandhi MIA.
15:25Unemployment debate, Modi government was willing Rahul Gandhi MIA.
15:28Adani Ambani, Modi government was willing Rahul Gandhi MIA.
15:32Ram Mandir Pegasus, CAA, Modi government was willing Rahul Gandhi MIA.
15:36Vakf's amendment, Modi government was willing Rahul Gandhi MIA.
15:40Abrogation of Article 370, Galwan Dokla, Modi government was willing Rahul Gandhi MIA.
15:45The SIR vote-chori debate, Modi government was willing Rahul Gandhi MIA.
15:49So much so that ahead of Lok Sabha 2024,
15:53Gaurav Gogoi had moved a no-confidence motion against the Modi government,
15:56demanding a discussion on Manipur.
15:58And the moment Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah started speaking on Manipur,
16:03Rahul Gandhi 9211.
16:04So Rahul Gandhi's 9211, as in shoot and scoot politics,
16:08is what he has come to epitomise.
16:11And by the way, Speaker Om Birla does not need any certificates
16:15from the Darbari Congress ecosystem.
16:18Amit Shah does not need any certificates on integrity and ethics
16:22from the Darbari ecosystem.
16:24Himmat hai toh chunao jito.
16:25Lok Sabha 2029.
16:27And then we will talk.
16:29But till then, please zip it.
16:31I'm going to give both of you last two minutes seats
16:33to put your point forward.
16:34Shama Mohammed, your last two minutes.
16:36Go, ma'am.
16:37So she was going on abusing Rahul Gandhi.
16:40Rahul Gandhi, when anything happens,
16:43he's out there meeting the people,
16:45whether it's the injured at the retro blast or it's Pahalgaam,
16:48he's always there for his people.
16:50Whether it's Hathras, when it comes to women,
16:53he goes out there and he's there with the women of our country.
16:56Whether it's those wrestlers who were abused
16:59by a member of parliament of the Bhatia Janta party,
17:02he stands with them.
17:03But unlike Narendra Modi, who was seen with Revana at a stage
17:09where he knew that he was accused of multiple rapes.
17:14And of course, Bridge Bush and Sarin Singh,
17:16he stands with the rapists.
17:17And let's not forget the Bilkis Banu's rapists were released
17:21and Narendra Modi said,
17:22please come and campaign for the Gujarat elections.
17:24This is not my leader.
17:25My leader stands with the people.
17:28But whereas Narendra Modi stands with the rapists,
17:31he stands with criminals and he does not attend parliament.
17:34He has no respect for women.
17:37Let's not forget Manipur.
17:39When Manipur happened, Rahul Gandhi,
17:40when they met the women,
17:42he wanted to go into the Kuki area,
17:44but they were not allowing.
17:45Where was the prime minister of India?
17:48He never visited Manipur for two years.
17:50He never stood with the women.
17:52He doesn't care when a woman is raped.
17:53He doesn't care about Muslims because one of the CM was pointing a gun
17:57and he wanted to kill the Muslims.
17:59He's not even bothered about it.
18:01So you can't compare.
18:02And Rahul Gandhi attends parliament.
18:04He's been there enough.
18:06He asks questions.
18:07He is not allowed to speak.
18:09Every time Rahul Gandhi wants to speak,
18:11question the government,
18:12he's asked to shut up or his mic is switched off.
18:15Whereas the prime minister of India,
18:17who's supposed to be in parliament,
18:19listening to issues,
18:20never comes to parliament because he's beyond.
18:22He's always abroad.
18:24When we had the pollution debate,
18:26when we are all suffering from pollution,
18:28little children were all having inhalers.
18:31Old people.
18:32Where was Narendra Modi?
18:33Traveling in Europe.
18:34He was in the Far East.
18:35He's always outside.
18:37Has he even spoken about it?
18:38Has he said what is happening in this country?
18:40No.
18:41Your time is up.
18:41Sanju Varma,
18:42I have final two minutes for you.
18:43Go, ma'am.
18:45And he is not.
18:46Preeti,
18:47Preeti,
18:48let me say one thing.
18:49The Congress and Darbari ecosystem
18:52has only one job.
18:54Rona,
18:55Dhana playing the victim card.
18:57I on your show have condemned Ramesh Bidhudi
19:00and I will condemn his loose comments.
19:02But people who sit on P.T. Chaudhary's show
19:04and start talking about Bilkis Bano,
19:07this is the same Congress,
19:09Darbari ecosystem,
19:10which has never shed even crocodile tears
19:13for a lady called Shah Bano
19:15who was denied a monthly alimony
19:18of just 179 rupees
19:20by Rahul Gandhi's daddy,
19:23daddy dearest Rajiv Gandhi,
19:25who actually overturned
19:26Supreme Court judgment
19:28to deny Shah Bano her rights.
19:31So don't sit here
19:32and lecture on Muslim women empowerment.
19:34Your party as in the Congress party
19:37has done nothing for Muslims.
19:39And let me tell you one more thing.
19:41Beat Pradhan Mantri Awaz Yojna,
19:43Beat Pradhan Mantri Ujwala Yojna,
19:45Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojna,
19:47Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bhima Yojna,
19:49by and large anywhere between 31 to 33% beneficiary
19:53are Muslims.
19:55Despite them saying,
19:57hum kaaz nahi dikhayenge.
19:58Now let me talk about this whole rape culture.
20:02Do you know something, Preeti?
20:03There was a lady called Sukanya Singh.
20:06She was apparently gang raped
20:08by the Congress big boss.
20:10Her whole family disappeared in 2007.
20:13And let me tell you about Archana Gautam.
20:16Archana Gautam and her father were thrashed,
20:19black and blue,
20:21outside the ANCC headquarters,
20:23apparently by Priyanka Vandra's secretary.
20:26Don't forget,
20:27Archana Gautam was the poster girl
20:29of Priyanka Vandra's
20:31Larki Hoon Lark Sakti Hoon campaign.
20:34And you say about rape culture,
20:36Ashok Gehla,
20:37on the floor of Rajasthan Assembly,
20:39said,
20:39these Dalit Mahina,
20:41these are the charges,
20:42they put rape charges
20:43for the upper caste.
20:45So I think Shabba Mohamad
20:46should simply keep quiet
20:48and look at her own stinky backyard.
20:49Ma'am,
20:50your time is up.
20:51You know,
20:51I would just suggest,
20:52let's just keep and steer clear
20:53from making any unsubstantiated charges
20:57at each other.
20:59I am just going to end it there.
21:01Please,
21:01you know,
21:02the next time,
21:02you know,
21:03you are both here,
21:05please do not make
21:06any unsubstantiated charges.
21:08Let's get you a quick update
21:10on the escalating conflict.
21:11Social media is now awash
21:13with fake videos
21:13claiming to show events
21:15from the West Asia war.
21:16Let's quickly get in a fact check on that.
21:18There's a claim suggesting,
21:20there's a video in fact,
21:21suggesting American destroyer
21:22attacked by Iran
21:24in the Indian Ocean.
21:25The fact check on that,
21:26the video of fire
21:27on US attack ship USA.
21:29S. Bonhami Richard in 2020 claim
21:32video shows Iranian
21:33fooling Americans
21:35by building roads
21:36and painting jets
21:37to deceive as real fighter jets.
21:40The fact check on that,
21:41this is actually
21:42an AI generated video.
21:44Let's get you another claim
21:45floating about,
21:46suggesting this video there,
21:48thousands of Israelis
21:49leaving the country.
21:50Well,
21:50that's what it suggests.
21:51The fact check on that,
21:52it's an old video
21:53from June 2025
21:54and shows crowds attending
21:56the Hellfest festival in France.
21:58Let's get you another claim
22:01where there is a video
22:02of Iran's underground
22:04missile launcher.
22:05Fact check on that,
22:062024 video released
22:08by Hezbollah
22:09flexing its underground
22:10missile strength.
22:12Another claim,
22:13video showcasing
22:14Israel's Prime Minister
22:16Benjamin Netanyahu's
22:17house on fire
22:18amidst ongoing war.
22:19Fact check on that,
22:20old video of a house
22:21on fire in New Jersey,
22:23US.
22:25In a verdict that is historic
22:27in every sense of the word,
22:29the Supreme Court of India
22:30has given a green signal
22:32to a couple
22:32to carry out passive euthanasia
22:35on their 32-year-old son.
22:37The order,
22:38the first of its kind
22:39ever since the Apex Court
22:41legalized passive euthanasia
22:43in the year 2018.
22:46The case is of a 32-year-old man,
22:48Harish Rana,
22:49who has been in a vegetative state
22:51for 13 years of his life.
22:53His prime lost
22:55while lying in comatose
22:56after an accident
22:58had left him incapable
22:59of any movement.
23:02The court,
23:02while expressing its sympathies
23:04and the judges themselves
23:05being teary-eyed,
23:07pronounced the verdict
23:08allowing the parents of Harish
23:10to withdraw his nutritional support.
23:13For the first time in India
23:15in the year 2018,
23:16the Supreme Court
23:17legalized passive euthanasia.
23:20It also spelt out directions
23:22and gave an idea
23:23about what should be
23:25the way forward
23:25for a patient
23:26who has been diagnosed
23:28with something
23:28which makes him or her
23:29terminally ill.
23:31Both in the case
23:32wherein a patient
23:33had indicated
23:34what the way forward
23:35should be,
23:36had a living will
23:37and also in the case
23:38where patient
23:39did not have
23:41a directive
23:41or a living will.
23:44India has seen
23:45heated debates
23:45on euthanasia
23:46both active
23:48and passive
23:48especially in the case
23:50of Aruna Shanbhag
23:51a nurse who was
23:52brutally assaulted sexually
23:54in the year 1973.
23:57It caused
23:58severe brain damage
23:59and left her
24:00in a vegetative state
24:02for four long decades.
24:04the court has also urged
24:07the center
24:07to consider bringing
24:08a law on passive euthanasia
24:10even as heated debates
24:12on the legality
24:13and the morality
24:14of it continues.
24:17We're dealing with passive euthanasia
24:19now that isn't a PVS system
24:21right?
24:21If somebody is completely
24:23has intestinal lung disease
24:25the lungs have ossified
24:28only being fed by
24:30you know
24:32artificial feeding
24:34all of it
24:35like I said
24:35then in that event
24:37to not let a person
24:40who has lived with dignity
24:41die with dignity
24:43I think is very unfortunate
24:45and to that extent
24:46I say that
24:47I admire
24:48the common cause decision
24:50there are patients
24:51who are suffering pain
24:53but not necessarily
24:55they could live
24:55for two years
24:56three years
24:57five years
24:57and then palliative care
24:59comes in
24:59so that's
25:00another part of it.
25:01India is not a Luxembourg
25:03or a Belgium
25:04or a France
25:04there are 500 Luxembourg
25:06which can fit into India.
25:08What happens
25:08in the interiors
25:09of India
25:10if this law
25:11goes like wildfire
25:12there will be
25:14uncontrollable misery
25:15a law
25:17like I said
25:18has to be
25:18sustainable
25:19and scalable
25:20it is not only
25:22for metros
25:22the healthcare
25:24outside metros
25:25is at a different level
25:26dignity of death
25:28is respecting
25:29the patient
25:30and respecting
25:31the family
25:32that is dignity.
25:33India legalized
25:34passive euthanasia
25:35less than a decade ago
25:37the Supreme Court
25:38has now said
25:38that the Indian government
25:39must consider
25:40a legislation
25:41for passive euthanasia
25:42world over
25:44there are countries
25:45like Netherlands
25:46that allow
25:46active euthanasia
25:48wherein the doctor
25:49administers
25:50an injection
25:51a lethal medicine
25:52to the patient
25:53who is terminally ill
25:54there are countries
25:55like Switzerland
25:56that allow
25:57assisted euthanasia
25:59wherein a patient
26:00with permissions
26:01of course
26:01takes in a medication
26:03that eventually
26:05leads to death
26:06in New Delhi

29:46the court
29:46has given
29:46so many
29:47directions
29:48and so
29:48many things
29:49very crystal
29:49clear
29:50judgment
29:51not only
29:51for the
29:52patients
29:52and families
29:53but also
29:54for the
29:54doctors
29:54involved
29:55in the
29:55care
29:55of these
29:56patients
29:57I have
29:58one
29:59question
29:59before I
30:00let you
30:00go
30:00because
30:01there
30:01is
30:02always
30:02because
30:03it's
30:03a
30:03highly
30:03sensitive
30:04matter
30:04for a lot
30:05of people
30:05it's a
30:05religious
30:06matter
30:06as well
30:06there is
30:07always
30:07a fair
30:08amount
30:08of pull
30:08and tug
30:10emotionally
30:11when you're
30:11making such
30:12a decision
30:13like this
30:14but there
30:15is also
30:16an angle
30:16where many
30:17say
30:17that
30:17in a
30:18country
30:19like
30:19India
30:20if you
30:20make a
30:21legislation
30:21if we
30:22make a
30:22law
30:23which
30:23allows
30:24passive
30:24euthanasia
30:25you just
30:27don't know
30:27what it
30:27could bring
30:28because it
30:28could be
30:29misused
30:29as well
30:31this
30:31argument
30:32has been
30:32made
30:33in the
30:33court
30:33itself
30:33and the
30:34court
30:34judgment
30:34very
30:35clearly
30:35defines
30:36that
30:36passive
30:37euthanasia
30:37should be
30:38termed as
30:39a
30:40withholding
30:40of the
30:41life-sustaining
30:41treatment
30:42not exactly
30:43the passive
30:43euthanasia
30:44which is
30:44something
30:45sounds like
30:46an active
30:47euthanasia
30:47which is
30:48an injection
30:48or which
30:49is an
30:49assisted
30:50dying
30:50passive
30:51euthanasia
30:52used to
30:52be
30:54legal in
30:55many
30:55countries
30:55and the
30:56supreme
30:56court
30:56has given
30:57our own
30:57common
30:58cause
30:58verdict
30:59in
30:592018

31:01withdrawing
31:02and withholding
31:03of the
31:03medical
31:04treatment

31:05court has
31:05very clearly
31:06taken these
31:06four points
31:07one is that
31:07whether this
31:08is a
31:08medical
31:08treatment

31:16best interest
31:16of the
31:16patient
31:17and whether
31:18the
