00:09I think Siddharamaya ji has proved himself as a very capable leader, a mass leader, someone
00:17who started from scratch and has managed to serve two times towards the cause of the people
00:22of Karnataka and he leaves behind a big legacy.
00:26However, at the same time, D.K. Shivkumar ji also over the years has proved himself to
00:30be capable and I wish him all the very best.
00:33We have seen changes happen in various state governments, various governments from even
00:39the Bharti Janata Party and in the BJP we have seen how overnight changes happen without
00:43consultation.
00:44This is a smooth transition and I think from whatever learnings that D.K. Shivkumar ji
00:50has taken as the Deputy Chief Minister, he will be able to take the same cause of Siddharamaya
00:55ji forward and I wish him all the very best.
00:57Having had the opportunity to work with both when I was in the Congress, especially D.K.
01:01Shivkumar ji, I know he is very dynamic and he is quite a go-getter as far as Karnataka
01:07is concerned, as the State Government is concerned and I am very certain he will do a good job
01:11for the people of Karnataka.
01:14Ms. I think this has been something which has been mandate of every state except for a
01:26few in the North East and in Goa.
01:29But as far as I understand, as soon as the BJP Government came into power, they made it
01:34a political issue and they also spoke about banning of cow slaughter.
01:40At that time it was welcomed in many states.
01:43If I am not mistaken, even in Tamil Nadu the same rules apply.
01:46But in case there has been a change which the High Court has spoken about, it would be
01:51quite in line with what the mandate has been.
01:55And they have taken a decision because animal slaughter per se, for the occasion of Bakri
02:01Eid specifically mentions it is a slaughter which could be symbolic or it could be a sheep
02:07or a cattle.
02:09But cows, because they are revered in the Hindu religion, to maintain a balance I think it
02:13is important.
02:25I think it is very unfortunate that the officials who are working on particular investigative
02:31cases are attacked like this and this should be discouraged and this should not be condoned
02:37in any form.
02:38But there is one question I want to ask of all our agencies today, whether it is ED, whether
02:43it is IT, whether it is the CBI.
02:44Why is it that the people of the country are losing confidence in you?
02:48Why is it that they have started to believe that you all are being used as a government
02:52toolkit to go after members of the opposition?
02:55That is because they are seeing how selectively opposition members are targeted, they are pressurised,
03:02they are put behind bars, they are even told that they will be safe from going to the jail
03:05if they change to the Bharatiya Janata Party.
03:07So there is a growing distrust and a huge trust deficit that exists between the people
03:12and these agencies, these agencies would need to rethink about their own role in the constitution,
03:18that they are supposed to work for the country and not for the governments which are in power.
03:24So there is, maybe because of the trust deficit we are seeing something like this, but anyone
03:27taking law and order in their own hands is unacceptable and strict action should be taken.
03:32But I think it is high time all these agencies relook at their own role and not fall prey and
03:38become tools of the government to go after the opposition.
03:42On SIR ruling, Supreme Court tells Election Commission to report deleted names and set stage
03:49for citizenship test.
03:50Do you understand?
03:51They have also said that while SIR is a mandate which is under the Election Commission's
03:58domain, which nobody has defied and nobody has challenged, the challenge has definitely
04:03been of the timing of how the SIR has been conducted just before Bihar went into an election, just
04:08before West Bengal went into an election.
04:10And those who were eligible voters, just in case they got deleted from the electoral rolls,
04:14they did not have enough time to appeal before the election process took place.
04:18So the fight was actually for that.
04:20Even now you have an entire SIR process being carried out in Maharashtra.
04:23It was carried out in Uttar Pradesh, though election is three years away.
04:27It does make sense.
04:28But however, an election coming within six months and an SIR procedure being taking place,
04:32many people disenfranchised and they don't even have any way to appeal.
04:36If you remember in Assam, one of the judges of the tribunals, he resigned because he said
04:42it's impossible for me to ensure that to hear all the case in a particular timeframe.
04:48So these are challenges.
04:49But Supreme Court, nobody can, I would again go to say with all due respect to the Supreme
04:55Court of this country.
04:55While it is the mandate of the Election Commission, it is also the mandate to ensure that Election
05:01Commission carries out this entire SIR in the spirit of which it should be done, where
05:08the voters' rights are not taken away on the basis of their political choices.
05:23I would say that if anyone who is ineligible should be rooted out.
05:28Even the Maharashtra government during the Larki Behan scheme just before election ended
05:32up giving the Larki Behan scheme applicable to anyone who submitted a form and every home
05:36got X amount of money, but as soon as they came into power and now with every repeated
05:42here, they are toning it down and they are weeding out those people and bringing in some
05:45new clauses, new conditions, new terms that denies women the Larki Behan benefits.
05:51So this is how probably the state government of West Bengal is looking at it.
05:54Anyone who is not eligible should be kept out.
05:56But anyone who is eligible but is being kept out because there is a new terms and conditions
06:00which is being put in place.
06:02So we would definitely need to look at the new terms and conditions that are imposed to
06:06deny some people who are perhaps eligible to get those schemes but are being denied it.
06:13In Visha Soma, that case, Giribala Singh's anti-sipri-bel quiz by Madhya Pradesh High Court.
06:20I absolutely welcome it because the kind of comments that were coming from Giribala Singh
06:24and the way the first post-mortem took place and it was only after a huge UN cry that a
06:30second
06:30post-mortem has taken place and the post-mortem findings that are coming out in the second
06:35case show that there could have been some kind of badly conducted first post-mortem which
06:42was influenced by those who are in positions of power which is extremely unfortunate.
06:47But the hurried way in which she got an anti-cipatory bail, how her son was on the run, how
06:52he chose
06:52to go to Javalpur to get VIP treatment before getting arrested but he was taken to Bhopal.
06:56All this indicate that by the virtue of them having the, you know he was a high court lawyer,
07:03the mother was a district court judge, so she had the power and she was also misusing
07:08it by speaking constantly to the media and accusing the dead of so many things which are
07:14absolutely shameful.
07:15She said things like she wouldn't plant water, she wouldn't water the plants, she wouldn't
07:20cook food, she was a schizophrenic, she was a depression case and she had multiple relationships.
07:25I mean the kind of accusations she made were absolutely unfortunate and I am sure the court
07:29would have cancelled the anticipatory bail on the basis of the argument that would have
07:34come forward in the court and the evidence that would have been presented against this
07:38bail application.
07:40So, I welcome it but I also hope that the family gets justice, the family of Trisha Sharma
07:45gets justice and it sends out a strong message through our courts that any woman who loses
07:52her life by the virtue of in-laws ill-treating her or on the basis of dowry, on the basis
07:56of
07:56expectations that these homes have, marital homes have, is given the strictest punishment that
08:03they deserve and it discourages anyone going forward to work against women and to go to create
08:10a situation against women that makes them take their lives, own lives.
08:14Camilandu CM Vijay meets PM Modi in Delhi and raises Vande Matram raw during talks and Vijay's
08:2220 minutes meeting with the PM request on State Anthem Mekit Datu.
08:26Yes, I believe there was an argument about why Vande Matram was played first, followed
08:31by the national anthem, followed by the state anthem.
08:35So respecting the sentiment of the people of the state, I think this can be looked into
08:40by the central government.
08:41This entire idea of Vande Matram being played out just before all these anthems take place
08:46was something that could have a wide-ranging consultation, stakeholder consultation with various
08:51state governments before doing that.
08:52For example, when the West Bengal oath-taking ceremony was happening, it did not play out
08:57the way it played out in Tamil Nadu.
08:59So that also gives us a sense of confusion in the minds of people that how does this work?
09:04Is this a political tool that they are making Vande Matram to be or is it something that they
09:09truly believe in?
09:09So I think he has raised his concerns, but nobody has a problem with Vande Matram, nobody has
09:14a problem with the national anthem, nobody has a problem.
09:15But it definitely becomes an issue with every single state who hold pride in their region to
09:21also give equal respect to the state's song.
09:33Rahul Gandhi stated that not suicide but broken and corrupt system.
09:39Rahul Gandhi also stated on need aspirant death, Rahul Gandhi met Pradeep Meghwal's family
09:46and blamed a broken and corrupt system for his death, accusing the centre of failing to
09:51stop examination leak and protect students.
09:55I absolutely am in agreement with what Rahul Gandhi is saying with regards to how the youth
10:01are being mentally harassed, mentally traumatized to lead them to their deaths.
10:05These are not suicides.
10:06These are murders of a broken system, a systemic failure and absolute refusal by the government
10:12of India to in some way try and bring in accountability and transparency.
10:17By now, the education minister should have stepped down for repeatedly failing the students
10:23of this country, whether it is a leaked paper, whether it is about the CBSE fiasco that we
10:28are seeing.
10:28And over the 10 years, over 9 crore people have been impacted by various paper leaks in
10:34various states and the inability of the government to hold someone to account.
10:38It is definitely the education minister who should be stepping down and he has, I would
10:43say, no moral authority to continue in the position that he is continuing.
10:47It is a shame.
10:48It is unfortunate and I think they should all, whoever is responsible for these discrepancies
10:55and this failure should be charged of murder for murdering the young lives of those people
11:01who have found no other way to find a solution, but chose to take their own lives.
11:06It is a shame.
11:09Misbehave with women MPs.
11:11TMC Kakoli Dasidar complains against Kalyan Banerji.
11:15MP Kakoli Ghosh Dasidar has written to Lok Sabha speaker on Virila to formally launch a complaint
11:22against party Kalyan Banerji.
11:26After the loss of TMC in the West Bengal elections, we have been hearing all kinds of arguments
11:32coming from their MPs, even some of their MLAs and even some of their corporators, which
11:36is likely to happen in any regional party which sees, you know, a loss.
11:43But at the same time Kakoli Ji has been a senior member of parliament.
11:47So has Kalyan Banerji Ji.
11:49And it is under the leadership of Mamata Banerji who has chosen to give the responsibility
11:54to Kalyan Banerji.
11:55And we have been seeing Kakoli Ji has been speaking about IPAC and now this and now writing
12:00to the Lok Sabha speaker.
12:01I am just hoping that within the party they would be able to talk amongst themselves and
12:05find a solution.
12:06Because they have been strong in the, you know, in voicing their opposition in the centre.
12:11They have worked as one cohesive unit, whether it is in the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha.
12:16And I hope that they all sit down and find a solution and way forward for this.
12:21And that is all I can say.
12:23But they are way more experienced than I am.
12:25They have had many more years of service than I have.
12:28I can only hope that as opposition we continue to stand together and oppose the Bharti Janta Party
12:35and it is undemocratic, unconstitutional way of functioning either in the parliament or the
12:40state assemblies.
12:46She herself has such a bad time.
