00:00So, standing ovation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Bharat Mandapam.
00:06The Prime Minister spoke of his achievements in the past 12 years, 4,399 days,
00:14the achievement of being the longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister of India.
00:2212 years, 4,399 days and counting.
00:27The Prime Minister, of course, said this wasn't his achievement.
00:30It was the achievement of the NDA, of the BJP and the NDA partners and the people
00:38who cooperated with every move of the Prime Minister every time he sought their cooperation.
00:46Now, the Prime Minister, you can see in those images, you have all Chief Ministers,
00:51all NDA Chief Ministers, BJP Chief Ministers, Alliance Partners, BJP Leadership,
00:56present at Bharat Mandapam.
00:59The Prime Minister actually listed out where the situation was when he picked up in 2014,
01:08when he became the Prime Minister.
01:10He hit out at the Congress Party, not once, but repeatedly,
01:14on aspects of corruption, governance and when he spoke of the Hindu rate of growth.
01:24He said, why were Hindus targeted?
01:28Why wasn't it called the Congress rate of growth in the Congress Party?
01:33And then the Prime Minister, after listing out details of where he came into the picture
01:39and the efforts that have been made in 12 years and where he intends to take the country
01:45in that journey for Vikasit Bharat or a developed India by 2047.
01:51The first point he made was his government gave stability,
02:00a stable government to the people of India post-2014.
02:04So that era of coalition politics, 282 is what the BJP had in 2014,
02:11which went up to 303 in 2019, but came down to 240 in 2024.
02:20But then he gave the credit to the NDA, the alliance, which he said remained strong
02:27and had the people's trust after decades of what he termed was Congress misrule.
02:36He said expectations of 140 crore Indians,
02:40when they placed their trust in the Narendra Modi government in 2014, 19 and 24,
02:46that trust must be fulfilled.
02:49He said the nation is now free from corruption of the Congress era.
02:55And this is where he repeatedly hit out at the Congress party.
02:59He said progress was very slow under the Congress.
03:04And he said, why was it called the Hindu rate of growth when it should have been called
03:08the Congress rate of growth, which meant slow development, very poor governance.
03:13He hit out at the Congress for term, for coining the term Hindu rate of growth.
03:18The Congress gave crores of corruption cases to the nation.
03:22We ensured, as he put it, corruption-free Bharat post-2014, corruption-free governance.
03:31Development picked up pace, he said, post-2014.
03:34And then he's listed out targets that must be achieved and are being achieved.
03:40He listed out certain benchmarks like GDP growing at 7.7% despite the turmoil in the world,
03:47the current crisis in West Asia, the crisis in Europe, the Russia-Ukraine war earlier.
03:53One aspect that he really hit out at the difference from then and now was terror attacks.
04:02Pakistan state-sponsored radical Islamist terror attacks.
04:05And he said, before 2014, repeatedly India was attacked and there was no response.
04:10He listed out surgical strikes, he talked about the Balakot airstrikes and he spoke of Operation Sindhuur.
04:18He said, India has now taken a strong stand against terror.
04:23He said, this is a nation that needs to move forward on energy security.
04:28That's extremely crucial.
04:29India's share and global growth is increasing.
04:32And there are expectations that the world has from India.
04:36And this is where India must be able to deliver when it comes to whether it's being a reliable supply
04:43chain or providing solutions.
04:46He spoke of manufacturing, India emerging.
04:49The effort to emerge as a manufacturing hub will ensure made-in-India aircraft.
04:55He laid emphasis on sapka saath, sapka vishwas and prayas.
04:59Prayas, everyone must come together.
05:02So let me take it step by step.
05:05He's listed out several aspects.
05:07He spoke of digital payment where India now leads the world.
05:11But let's listen to the Prime Minister.
05:13I'll get you more on the story.
05:23I'll get you more on the story.
05:48I'll get you more on the story.
06:14I'll get you more on the story.
06:33I'll get you more on the story.
07:02I'll get you more on the story.
07:32I'll get you more on the story.
08:03Let me quickly bring in Salman Sos, National Spokesperson of the Congress Party and Tuhin Sina, National Spokesperson of the
08:10Bharatiya Janata Party into this conversation.
08:40We'll get you more on the story.
08:42I'll get you more on the story.
08:50I'll get you more on the story.
09:12I'll get you more on the story.
09:19I'll get you more on the story.
09:29Where the growth under Modi in the first decade.
09:33The growth under Modi was higher.
09:35The growth under Modi was higher.
09:35That was from 1951 to 1960.
09:38That was the only time.
09:40Otherwise, growth under Prime Minister Modi has been lower than under every Prime Minister for all these decades.
09:47The nominal growth rate that he was talking about, the nominal growth rate that he was talking about.
09:51Let me say something else to the Prime Minister, to the BJP, to the people watching us.
09:57He talks big.
09:59But what I remember, Gaurav, what you must remember is that in the early 2000s, there was something called Chindia.
10:07China, China and India, the elephant versus the dragon.
10:12That was what the world was talking about.
10:14And in 2026, the dragon is fighting with America.
10:19India is not in that picture.
10:22India is still fighting with Pakistan, thanks to Prime Minister Modi.
10:26Thanks to Prime Minister Modi, we have America dictating to us what a trade deal would look like.
10:32And we have to buy, a poorer country, 500 billion dollars worth of goods from America.
10:40That's where we are.
10:40So, there are three, four points that you've raised.
10:42I will take all of them one by one.
10:45Let me get Tuinsina to respond to some of what you've said on the economy.
10:51On national security and China, permit me to weigh in subsequently.
10:56But go on, Tuinsina, respond to Mr. Salman.
10:59Well, good evening, Gaurav.
11:00Good evening, everybody.
11:01You know, Congress should be the last person, the last party to pontificate on national security.
11:06We all remember how, you know, our cities were ravished, you know, with umpteen terror blasts between 2004 and 2008.
11:15What happens now?
11:17You know, we have an Operation Sindhur after Pahlgaam.
11:20When Saifuddin Sos, the father of the Congress representative, says that, you know,
11:24we should ignore the provocations of Pakistan.
11:27Why do we need to stop industry?
11:29Sir, I'll come to terror in just a moment.
11:31Do you want to respond to the economy first?
11:33Absolutely.
11:34You know, a 7.7% GDP growth in the present situation, where for the last four or five years,
11:40the world is battling, the world is witnessing three or four different, you know, concurrent wars,
11:48disruptions and supply chains is absolutely phenomenal.
11:52And even next year, the projection is 6.6%.
11:54The current account deficit, even in the present situation, is, you know, projected to be around 1.3%.
12:01At the end of this present financial year, it used to hover in the range of 4% in 2023.
12:06And why is it possible?
12:08Because of consistent fiscal reforms undertaken by Modi government.
12:13We were in the fragile five in 2014 when we inherited power.
12:16Today, thanks to the digital revolution that you have witnessed in the last 12 years, the benefits of which have
12:24percolated down to the poorest of the poor, you have 49 lakh crores.
12:29I repeat, 49 lakh crores put directly into the hands of the poorest of the poor through DBT, powered by
12:38Aadhar Jam Trinity.
12:42What used to happen in the Congress era?
12:44Rajiv Gandhi used to openly say that, you know, when we spend one rupee, only 15 paise goes to the
12:49poor.
12:49So, by Congress party's own admission, if Congress was in power, you calculate 15% of 49 lakh crores, that
12:58is what they would have given to the poor.
12:59The rest would have been pocketed by Congress leaders.
13:02But where are, you know, Salman so says, China is taking on the United States.
13:10You are still trapped fighting Pakistan.
13:12We have gone way beyond.
13:14The only people upset by our advancement is the Congress party.
13:17You are aware of the great Nicobar project.
13:20Do you, don't you know the geostrategic significance of it?
13:24It's importance for India in the Indo-Pacific.
13:27Only the Congress party is consistently opposed to advancements.
13:31The India Middle East European corridor, which we have been working on, opens up an entirely new supply chain for
13:37the country.
13:38And Rahul Gandhi, just before the India Middle East European corridor was announced, sings praises and PNs for BRI, China's
13:45BRI.
13:45So, this is the reality of this Congress party?
13:48Salman Soz wants to respond to that.
13:49Salman Soz, respond to the aspect where the Prime Minister says, we were attacked even in the past, but take
13:56for example post 2611.
13:58There was no response in 2008.
13:59After Pahlgaam, there was an operation, Sindur, where Pakistani terror bases and military installations were targeted.
14:06Point one, point two.
14:07In case you would like to respond on the BRI and the Great Nicobar Island project that Tuhin Sinha raises,
14:15sir.
14:16Salman Gaurav, you think about strategic affairs.
14:20I know that.
14:21You love that area.
14:22Let me just say this.
14:24If you look at what is happening between US and Iran right now, US is caught in a very horrible
14:29mess of its own making in some ways.
14:31It's because it's fighting with a lower, smaller power, and it's a bit of a chokehold.
14:36India should be thinking about China as a rival.
14:39That's the big game here.
14:42Pakistan is a distraction for us as far as I can tell.
14:46Strategically, it makes no sense.
14:47But my question to the government is the following.
14:50I don't want to ask Tuhin because he won't have the answers.
14:52My question is the following.
14:55Is China a strategic rival or not?
14:58If it is, how is it that we have a $100 billion trade deficit with China?
15:02How is it?
15:03I want to know.
15:05Because they will not be able to answer.
15:06Now, Tuhin said something to the effect that now we have fiscal prudence, we have so much stuff.
15:11Does he know that central government debt as a share of the economy is now higher than it was?
15:18Does he know?
15:19He may not know, but I know because I deal with these subjects all the time.
15:23He talks about fiscal deficit.
15:24Let me tell him how the government is managing its fiscal deficit.
15:28This is what is happening to the people of this country, the rupee.
15:31When the rupee declines, the central bank basically starts profiting by selling dollars and trying to save the rupee.
15:43It makes a profit.
15:45It transfers that profit to the government of India.
15:48These transfers in the last three years have been record amounts.
15:52By the way, let me just finish this point.
15:54You'll enjoy it, Gaurav.
15:57If the RBI transfers to the government of India were at the same rate as they were during UPA,
16:03the fiscal deficit right now would be higher than 6%, Gaurav, if it was the same rate.
16:12The RBI is saving the government and the rupee is actually losing.
16:17It's the weakest currency in Asia.
16:19What are these guys talking about?
16:22What did they talk about?
16:22Tuhin said, I want to quickly respond to that.
16:24But on the aspect of…
16:26Go on, sir.
16:27Okay, complete your point before I get Tuhin to respond.
16:29Let me just say, Gaurav, to you.
16:30Gaurav, to you.
16:31I will not say to Tuhin.
16:33Gaurav, you are from…
16:34Let's say, Gaurav, you and I and Tuhin and people watching the show are from the middle-income families.
16:40Maybe upper-middle-income, some of us, but…
16:42We are, sir.
16:43We are middle-income families.
16:44The most taxes in this country are paid by the middle-income families now.
16:50Because your personal taxation has now gone higher than corporate taxation.
16:55Thanks to the government.
16:56The government says,
16:57I'm up in 2047.
16:59We'll give you Vixit Bharat.
17:00In the meantime, keep dreaming.
17:01And in the meantime, we'll just kill you.
17:03That's what the government is doing.
17:05Okay.
17:05Quickly on taking on China and on the fiscal deficit.
17:08There is a fundamental point which Mr. Soares would not, you know, accept.
17:13If we are engaging with China on the trade front today, you know, in an indulgent way, or I don't
17:21think indulgent would be…
17:22Indulgent.
17:22It also stems out of the…
17:23Please don't come in between.
17:24Please don't come in between.
17:25It also stems out of the confidence that we have contained them on the borders.
17:29We can handle them on the borders.
17:32This is not the Congress era where we will cede any ground.
17:35Where the whole understanding of…
17:37Perhaps the understanding of Congress's undisclosed MOU with China in 2008 was that…
17:43You can, you know, you can, you can intrude and we will allow you.
17:47We will allow you to do that.
17:48That is how you ceded 40,000 square kilometers of land between, between 1947 to 2014.
17:56That I can tell you will never happen.
17:58As far as, you know, we are concerned, we have expanded our trade with almost all countries.
18:03But yes, our dependence, the dependence on, you know, on the Chinese needs to decrease and will decrease subsequently over
18:11a period of time.
18:12Okay.
18:13Especially the aspect that you have raised on Great Nicobar Island.
18:16Would you quickly want to respond to that, Salman Sos, that the Great Nicobar Island project…
18:21Yes, yes.
18:22…Tuhin Sina says that's a national interest.
18:25In the BJP's point of view, it will checkmate China.
18:29But the Congress is trying to stall that project according to Tuhin Sina.
18:32Would you respond?
18:33Thank you, Gaurav.
18:35Thank you, Tuhin, for raising that issue.
18:36It's a very important issue.
18:38I think this is the way I would respond to this.
18:40First of all, we in our country have to basically start pushing back against this idea that whenever you raise
18:47an issue, then you're anti-national.
18:49That is what the BJP wants.
18:51They want to stifle dissent.
18:52But the fact of the matter is that the great, you know, Rahul Gandhi went there, personally showed people what
18:59was going to happen to that part of the country.
19:01Now, why are they doing that?
19:03Let me explain that, too.
19:05By the way, if anybody's interested, you should look at the fall of the rupee and the Great Nicobar, you
19:12know, this project.
19:13They're linked because this government has basically started, their whole motivation is to support a few big businesses to make
19:23ever greater profits.
19:25And that is what is happening to, by the way, the rupee.
19:27Have you asked somebody, why is it that net foreign direct investment is now almost negative?
19:33Why?
19:34Because many Indian companies are investing abroad and they're benefiting from a weaker rupee.
19:39Okay?
19:39They're benefiting from a weaker rupee.
19:41Similarly, the Great Nicobar project is a great project for making the wealthiest people in this country more wealthy at
19:49the cost of the Indian people, our environment, our country.
19:53These people are selling the country and we will not allow it.
19:56We will not allow it.
19:57We will not allow it.
19:57Can I just quickly respond?
19:59Quickly respond to that, sir.
20:00You know, probably Mr. Soares is not aware of the fact that this project was conceived in the early 70s.
20:05And one of the triggers then was Indonesia planning to take it over with the help of China.
20:11So he's not even aware of it.
20:13Even now I'm stating it, only 10% of that land is open for potential habitation.
20:19The rest would be absolutely secure.
20:21Why are these people fudging the facts?
20:23The only reason is because they somewhere need to be, they somewhere seem to be acting, you know, on behalf
20:30of certain external powers which don't want India's expansion into the Indo-Pacific.
20:36Talk sense.
20:38Don't talk nonsense.
20:38You know, realize the significance, Gaurav, you have been to Andaman recently.
20:41You have been to Andaman recently.
20:43This project expands India's reach in the Indo-Pacific by a good 400 kilometers.
20:52Why would any country, why would any opposition not want it knowing the way geopolitics is playing out in the
21:00current situation?
21:01Fair enough.
21:02We will track that story very, very closely.
21:05And I have a big exclusive on that coming up on India today.
21:10But for the moment, there's a breaking news that's coming in from Pakistan.
21:13I want to thank Tuhin and Salman for joining me here.
21:17There are reports that a Pakistan Air Force Mi-17 helicopter has crashed in Muzaffarabad and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and
21:26Kashmir.
21:26Reports from Pakistan seem to indicate that there are multiple fatalities on board that Mi-17 helicopter of the Pakistan
21:36Air Force.
21:37Reports say there were 21 Pakistan Army soldiers who were on board.
21:43Neither the air crew nor the soldiers have survived this crash.
21:48The images that you see on your television screen are of plumes of smoke and fire rising.
21:54This helicopter, it took off.
21:57And just when it was about to clear the crest, according to information, was it shot down?
22:03Was it a technical malfunction?
22:06We still do not know.
22:07There's unrest in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
22:10According to initial reports coming in, this Mi-17 helicopter was carrying soldiers of Pakistan Army.
22:18Additional soldiers are being rushed to Neelam Valley sector along Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir
22:24because the people of Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir are on the streets.
22:29They are opposing Pakistan Army.
22:31They are opposing atrocities of General Asim Munir.
22:34Pakistan Army says the crash was caused, according to preliminary information, because of some technical fault.
22:42Pakistan Army has confirmed there are no survivors on board.
22:46But it hasn't officially disclosed numbers of personnel on board.
22:50But Pakistani media say there were 21 soldiers on board.
22:55Eyewitnesses have been quoted in Pakistani media saying the helicopter, it took off.
23:00suddenly weared to a side and then just crashed and burst into a ball of fire.
23:07Rescue teams have rushed there.
23:09But there were no survivors, according to information, that has just come in.
23:16Sandeep Unnithan, my colleague now joins me.
23:19Four more.
23:19Pranay Upadhyay joins us in just a moment.
23:21Okay, Pranay, you've been tracking the story.
23:23Do we have information on this just as yet?
23:26More information on how this helicopter crashed?
23:28So far, Pakistan military is only maintaining that this helicopter crashed because of a technical fault.
23:34But you can very well assess the situation there, Gaurav.
23:37The situation is very volatile there.
23:39Large number of crowds are on streets of Pakistan-occupied German Kashmir.
23:45And in fact, large number of people are rallying towards that long march leading towards the Muzaffarabad.
23:50And heavy presence of security personnel is also there.
23:53So we do not know exactly that how did it happen?
23:56Why did it happen?
23:57But certainly this is a big setback for Pakistan military because all on boards have died.
24:03And in fact, this helicopter was reportedly ferrying soldiers and Pakistan military personnel to the area of these protests.
24:13And in fact, during this process, this helicopter has crashed.
24:17Stay with me.
24:17And I want to bring in Sandeep Unnithan for a larger picture of how bad the situation in Pakistan-occupied
24:23Jammu and Kashmir is.
24:24Sandeep, information was yesterday 27 people were massacred by Pakistan army.
24:29Though locals in POJK say the number could be anything between 50 and 70.
24:35A large number of people are missing and the situation appears to be worse today.
24:39Sandeep, what's happening?
24:41Well, you know, Gaurav, this is Pakistan seeing sectarian conflict of a level that we have not seen in decades.
24:49Like, you know, you've already seen violence in parts of Balochistan.
24:56They've lost control over parts of Balochistan.
24:59The Pashtuns are unhappy and now it turns out that the people of POJK are on the streets.
25:05So Pakistan is facing the kind of internal pressures that they've not seen in years.
25:11And this is only going to get worse, Gaurav, from whatever we can see.
25:16All the attempts that they've been making to project power outwards and draw up alliances.
25:21You know, a security alliance of the kind.
25:23Their internal, you know, security is extremely fragile as you're seeing those crowds out there.
25:29It's going to be a big tough challenge for Field Marshal Asim Munir to manage these kinds of crowds in
25:36his backyard, Gaurav.
25:38So, Pranay, apparently, a large number of soldiers are being rushed to POJK.
25:45Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
25:47What more do we know? I believe Neelam Valley is in flames.
25:52Muzaffarabad, there's trouble.
25:53They're in Kotli, in Mearpur, there is trouble.
25:56I believe, south of Peer Panjal on the other side.
26:01Again, there is a lot of trouble, it seems.
26:03Absolutely, Gaurav.
26:04And in fact, Dadial, which has become a hotspot of this protest.
26:08Therein, a large number of people have pushed back Pakistan, military Pakistan ranges there.
26:12And also, in other parts, there are similar reports coming in.
26:16And in fact, if you track on social media, despite of the crackdown by the Pakistan government and the POK
26:22administration on internet and as far as the communication gag is also there.
26:27But still, people are able to communicate.
26:29People are able to send out those reports.
26:30And these reports are very disturbing as far as the situation on ground is concerned.
26:34On one side, Pakistan military has sent further deployment, especially the extra companies have been sent, extra battalions have been
26:43deployed in the region to contain the situation.
26:45On the other side, the protesters, especially the Joint Awami Action Committee has given a call that nobody is going
26:52to go back unless there is a redressal of their issues.
26:56Because they have been raising these issues about their rights, about their legitimate demands.
27:01And so far, they have only got betrayal from the government of Pakistan and administration of POK.
27:06I want to get you so much more on this story because, Sandeep, apparently the information is Field Marshal Asim
27:12Munir, he's facing the heat.
27:13He's apparently reached out to a couple of core commanders and force commander in northern areas to contain the situation
27:20and use force.
27:21Apparently, some IEG from Islamabad was rushed to what they call, what is known as Pakistan Occupy Jammu and Kashmir.
27:31And apparently, that IEG has ordered some kind of a hit on people and the casualties, according to information, is
27:39much higher than the 40-50 that's being projected, Sandeep.
27:42Yeah, absolutely, Gaurav. And you know, this is one of the hallmarks of Field Marshal Asim Munir is tenure.
27:47We've seen that in the last couple of months that the Pakistan military has shown itself to be no stranger
27:55to brutality when it comes to suppressing protests.
27:59We've seen that in Islamabad as well, where one of those religious parties was put down with extreme force and
28:06brutality.
28:06There was a blackout.
28:08Tariq El-Labaiq, it was used as a front by Pakistan Army for decades.
28:13Tariq El-Labaiq was actually a creation, a child of the Pakistan military.
28:17They were put down with such brutality, it appears to be the turn of the people of POJK next Gaurav.
28:23And you know, this is a crisis again, I should repeat this, that this is a kind of internal security
28:28crisis that Pakistan has not seen in decades where it is, you know, there's a wave of national outrage, there's
28:36disgust.
28:37Every province of Pakistan literally seems to be up in arms, you know, including even, it must be said, Punjab
28:44province.
28:44So, where this can, where this will play out, Gaurav, one can only, you know, guess.
28:50And what is alarming is dead bodies are missing. This used to be, this is the Pakistan Army template, it
28:56seems.
28:57They massacre people and then bodies disappear.
28:59Whether those bodies are burnt or buried or thrown into, you know, the Neelam River, the Kishan Ganga as we
29:06call it on the Indian side, we still do not know.
29:09There are many bodies, according to information, that's missing.
29:11Same was the case with Tariq El-Labaiq, same was the case with Balochistan, same was the case in Khaybar
29:16Pakhtoonghua.
29:17Is Sindh any different? Imagine if Pakistani Punjabi Muslims were massacred in Tariq El-Labaiq massacre and their bodies went
29:24missing, will that country rise against a tyrant army is the big question.
29:28Stay with me, gentlemen, I want to get you the latest from West Asia, because that war has suddenly entered
29:33a very, very dangerous phase.
29:35US President Donald Trump has issued one of his strongest warnings yet to Iran, signalling that American military action is
29:41all set to intensify.
29:43Donald Trump has put out a social media post in which he says,
29:47They are referring to Iran, taking too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them.
29:53Now, they will have to pay the price.
29:56Iran's military is a complete and total mess, writes Donald Trump.
30:01Then he goes on to say, much of it, like the Navy and Air Force, don't even exist anymore.
30:07They've been completely defeated.
30:08This is what President Trump claims.
30:10Then he goes on to write, Iran is all talk and no action.
30:14The bully of the Middle East is dead, in President Trump's perception.
30:19Now, this statement comes amidst a dramatic escalation even on the battlefield.
30:24Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims its launch coordinated drone and missile strikes against US military targets across the region.
30:33Tehran says the strikes were in retaliation for a recent American attack on Iranian ports and strategic positions around the
30:40Strait of Hormuz and especially in the Keshem Islands.
30:42According to the IRGC, the targets included the US Navy's 5th Fleet in Bahrain, the Ali al-Salam airbase in
30:50Kuwait and the military airbase in Jordan.
30:54Iran claims it's hit 21 American-linked targets, destroying four of them, including, according to Iran, an F-35 fighter
31:03jet hangar in Jordan.
31:05The IRGC has also claimed it shut down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Iranian city of Jam.
31:12The latest flare-up comes after the US attacked the Keshem Island ports along the Strait of Hormuz.
31:19Sandeep, how bad is the situation? Apparently, an Apache helicopter went down.
31:24There was a dramatic rescue of the aircrew, but the situation seems to have taken a turn from bad to
31:30worse, Sandeep.
31:31Absolutely, Gaurav. You know, the war has entered its fourth month. Yes, there is a ceasefire on, but all sides
31:38in this conflict, whether it's Israel, it's Iran, the United States or even Hezbollah, everybody seems to be shooting at
31:46each other, Gaurav.
31:46So, this is one of the most bizarre ceasefires that we've seen. The fact is that the United States is
31:51not as, it doesn't seem to be getting Iran to capitulate or to agree to the terms of the peace
31:59process, which has been on for several weeks now.
32:03It's, the US is no closer to getting any, any of those, you know, four crucial things that they, you
32:11know, started out this war with on the 28th of February.
32:14And we're hearing that the Iranians are digging out their buried missile sites, the underground bases of theirs.
32:21Missile production has resumed, if you believe reports are coming out.
32:25Sandeep, yes. So, keep tracking that story. I will come back to you for more.
32:28I'm sorry, I've run out of time on this part of the show, but the developments in Pakistan occupied Jammu
32:33and Kashmir, the developments in West Asia.
32:37We'll be tracking that story very closely. Many thanks for watching.
