00:00An odd story of this bulletin is coming in from National Capital Delhi, in fact heart of the National Capital
00:05Delhi and that is in Central Delhi where Rahul Gandhi, the leader of opposition with fellow MP and his sister
00:11Priyanka Gandhi Vajra have been protesting.
00:14Look at that, they are still on the ground, full on theatrics, high voltage drama. This is the second time
00:19such a protest has been organised by Rahul Gandhi.
00:21The earlier one, remember, on 21st July was right outside Prime Minister's residence, 7LKM.
00:28He's now been sitting on this dharna for over three hours alongside the man wearing the black shades is Lochab.
00:36He's a teenager, 19 years of age. The claims are that he's been hit by the pellet gun that was
00:40used during that protest at Jantar Mantar by the police, by the RAF and he's now demanding an FIR to
00:47be filed on that.
00:49Rahul Gautam is joining me for the latest on that.
00:51Rahul, what is the latest? If you can show us around, is he still seated? Where's Priyanka Gandhi Vajra? What
00:57is the reason? Why is he not moving away?
01:05Amit Bhardwaj also continues to be with us. Amit, I'll come to you if you can hear me. Yes.
01:12Amit, what is the situation like? Clearly looks like a lot of Congress workers also have congregated.
01:21Pooja, there are two aspects of the protest going on. One inside the Parliament Street police station where Rahul Gandhi
01:28along with the lawyers and Sahil is inside.
01:32But outside, these are the Congress Party workers who are sitting on Dharna, supporting their NETA.
01:38The graffities are also being written on the street seeking resignation of Home Minister.
01:43And all of this started more than four hours back when Rahul Gandhi took everybody by surprise.
01:50He came here with the family members of Sahil and demanded that FIR should be lost into the pellet gun
01:59that was fired.
02:00And these are the IYC workers who are now slognering right outside the police station demanding that FIR should be
02:08lost.
02:10You are in the protest, FIR's demanding, FIR's demanding, you are out there.
02:15You are out there, you are out there.
02:16So can you be in solidarity with me, you are out there, until you are out there?
02:21You are out there, you are out there, you are out there.
03:05We will also show you the visuals of Pooja, what's happening outside the Parliament Street police station.
03:11These are the IYC workers raising slogans.
03:14And right behind me, you would see the Seva Dal workers who are sitting on Dharna, outside that police station
03:21as well,
03:22making the similar demand that the FIR should be registered.
03:26And many of the Congress NETAs are reaching here.
03:29Be it KL Sharma of the Congress Party is the MP, he is here in solidarity, in support of Rahul
03:35Gandhi.
03:35These are the Seva Dal workers who are sitting on Dharna, right on the gate of the Parliament Street police
03:42station.
03:43Guitar is here.
03:44So it's also a musical, you know, Dharna, where they're using all creative methods to say their demand, to reiterate
03:53their demand.
03:53And with Cherkha, there's a mini Cherkha as well, which I'll request Manish to show that the different methods that
04:02the Congress Party workers are using right now,
04:05in order to launch their protests, demand FIR into the firing of the pellet guns that happened as per the
04:13Congress Party during the 20th July protests.
04:16So, and these are the Congress Party workers demanding resignation of the Home Minister.
04:21And you had another press conference coming from J.P. Neda, a few kilometres away from here, in the Lothian
04:28Zone as well.
04:29The Union Minister saying that LOP Rahul Gandhi is doing politics in name of students.
04:36But on the other side, Pooja, the visuals that are coming from the Lothian Zone is also an interesting one,
04:42because it's not been quite long since we saw Rahul Gandhi on a sit-in Dharna right outside Prime Minister's
04:49residence for three hours.
04:51Amit, stay on with me, because the question also to ask is,
04:55has Rahul Gandhi understood what's clicking with the mass audience when it comes to the issue that he's raising this
05:01time,
05:01compared to, let's say, a lot of other issues he had been raising in the past few months,
05:05especially since the 20th July protests, the issues that he's picking up are about youth, Gen Z,
05:11and using that to target the Modi government.
05:14Srishti Oja is also on the ground.
05:16Srishti, how is the deployment like?
05:17Are they letting Rahul Gandhi sit?
05:19Or are the senior police officers coming to say, you need to move from here?
05:22What is the situation like? What are we expecting?
05:30Well, Pooja, it's been almost four hours now that Rahul Gandhi has been here outside Parliament Street Police Station,
05:37right outside the DCP office.
05:38Now, it started with him coming to this police station to have a conversation with the DCP,
05:44with one demand registered in FIR.
05:46He had come along with the alleged pellet gun victim, Sahil, and his family and his lawyer.
05:50Demands very simple, registered in FIR, as far as the use of pellet gun allegations.
05:55During the protest, our concern.
05:56Now, after that meeting, after he came out, since no FIR was registered,
06:01he has been sitting on a dharna right here.
06:03If we show our viewers the visuals,
06:05eventually, after some time, we saw Congress workers come outside police station,
06:11raising slogans, followed by senior Congress leaders,
06:14including Priyanka Gandhi, Wadra, Jairam Ramesh,
06:18and others, Salman Khurshid, come inside the police station.
06:22Even the protesters, the Congress workers who were protesting outside the police station,
06:26pushed their way through the gate to come inside.
06:29As we can see, there are Congress workers here in our visuals.
06:32We can see the senior Congress leaders along with Rahul Gandhi still staging their stand right here.
06:39Earlier, when Rahul Gandhi spoke, he also said that they only have a simple demand.
06:44If that's fulfilled, we will leave.
06:45Register an FIR.
06:48The complaint has already been given.
06:50Register an FIR and we leave.
06:52So, his demand is very simple.
06:54And he's made it clear that unless and after that FIR is registered,
06:57they are not going to leave from here.
06:59They will be sitting outside the DCP office.
07:01I also asked if you saw the DCP himself come out and try and speak to Rahul Gandhi.
07:06As far as the meeting, as far as the meeting that happened today,
07:11Rahul Gandhi's meeting with the DCP and Joint Commissioner is concerned.
07:14What our Delhi police sources have told us is,
07:17a complaint was given.
07:19The complainant in that case is the 90-year-old student Sahil himself.
07:22The complaint has been taken by the Delhi police.
07:25They have said that they will be transferring it to the crime branch,
07:27which is probing the case.
07:29And they've also informed Rahul Gandhi...
07:29Srishtri, I'll keep coming back to you.
07:31And remember, that is where a lot of activity is taking place.
07:35But this is Rahul Dharna 2.2, as we are calling it.
