00:00Is there regret that pellet guns were used because some of them did hit young students?
00:31The court will look into the matter and the authorities, police, etc.
01:00Because I thought, after all, we are all responsible people to run our parliament.
01:09Whenever I have gone out to the opposition parties, I have reached out to everybody.
01:16In a private note, all are okay.
01:18But then when they have taken a stand, then they stick to that.
01:23They have taken a stand, the Congress and Samajwadi, that they will not let parliament function.
01:28So the rest are all just excuses.
01:32They have decided not to let the parliament function.
01:35So I don't think that any extraordinary appeal would have had any impact.
01:44Because I had a long discussion with Rahul Gandhiji.
01:47Even Priyanka Gandhi was also sitting there when I had a discussion with Rahulji.
01:52He had only taken a stand that he will not compromise on certain things.
01:57And especially on home minister, he said, home minister has to just give a statement and resign.
02:05Democracy doesn't function like that.
02:07Home minister is a responsible person.
02:10And he will do everything responsibly.
02:13But how can he just act as per this childish demand?
02:20A statement though or resign?
02:22You don't behave like that in a parliamentary democracy.
02:25See, one thing, you know, as somebody who watched parliament, I do agree that the opposition constantly kept changing goalposts.
02:33Went from one to the other.
02:35Their charges, and you tell me if it's true, sir.
02:37They say that the home minister and the prime minister never came to the house.
02:40They came to the parliament, but never came to the house.
02:42Sunsad may I, southern may not.
02:44Sunsad may I, southern may I be.
03:04On the one hand, they don't allow parliament to function.
03:09And on the other side, they are accusing the home minister, PM, of not coming to the parliament.
03:13let me tell you frankly not as a bjp minister i'm telling you as a member of parliament i feel
03:26sorry for congress mps of congress mps now have started thinking that their primary duty is to
03:35raise slogans and abuse isco normalize kardia congress was a party with such dignified leaders
03:45in the past stalwarts the congress leaders were inspiring and stalwarts those days
03:51look at the people who are running congress party now and this congress mps holding those placards
04:00abusive language every day modi chor hai modi hai modi hai i mean you are reducing parliament
04:09to this abusive language against your prime minister if you have guts to oppose prime minister
04:14speak with content debate karo na they say that the treasury benches is it's become you know most
04:23mps that i speak to from the opposition say that parliament has become very hostile one bill after
04:28the other without discussion is being pushed through and the latest charge from mr jairam
04:34ramesh is that this monsoon session hasn't even been prorogued which is officially where it
04:40is closed the session it is and he's asking why hasn't it happened that is up to the government
04:45whenever parliament is to be called it is the government which decides and requests the rastrapati
04:52to call the session and when the the house is not prorogued then the session can be called
05:00can there be another session it is nothing it is nothing new which we are doing can there
05:05be a special session no that i will not answer but what i am answering you is you won't answer
05:10that what i'm answering you is right since 1952 after this interview i will give you the list right
05:18after 1952 there were numerous occasions where parliament session was adjunct sign a die but not
05:29prorogued and the session was someone again and there are numerous instances where the
05:39prorogued had happened much later congress can quote conveniently many things just to
05:47accuse the government but i will not buy those arguments my primary point is when we wanted
05:57the discussion on the bills we allotted the time each bill was given time to discuss
06:07in loksaba and rajasaba so sir i infer that there could be a special session called you're saying
06:14you won't answer it but pull it as a journalist you have every right to have inferences and as a
06:21senior journalist you are very experienced in reading the things you can read both ways yeah but then
06:27uh as a parliament affairs minister i'm always open to people's scrutiny thank you observation also
06:36and then when the time comes we'll all know we'll all know
