00:03And you heard the claim that was made by Saurav Das who's accused the Delhi police of failing
00:07to take stringent action against Watantra Bharadwaj. Let me take this to Rahul Gautam
00:13joining us on the broadcast. Rahul, Saurav Das has already reached the police station.
00:18The other information we are getting that Nishu has sought help from Rahul Gandhi's legal team
00:22and Rahul Gandhi has extended all the possible help. What is happening at the moment? Will
00:29Rahul Gandhi also arrive at the Parliament Street police station?
00:36Well, not yet. However, workers from the Indian Youth Congress have already arrived at the
00:42Parliament Street police station. Remember, yesterday only Rahul Gandhi assured full assistance
00:46to Nishu Azad and in fact put the government in a tight spot wondering why no action has
00:53been taken against Watantra Bharadwaj who seems to be openly admitting that he was the one
00:58who made a murderous assault on Nishu Azad's father. In fact, Rahul Gandhi also dragged
01:05Union Home Minister Amish Shah, Delhi police into this entire controversy saying that why
01:10no action has been taken against all those people who were involved in this incident.
01:14See, we have to understand that as far as Jantar Mantra protest is concerned, Rahul Gandhi
01:19has been trying to create a narrative that Delhi police has completely failed in terms of safeguarding
01:24rights of the agitating students. But at the same time, they've been giving patronage and
01:30protection to all those lumped animals who were involved in violence against the very
01:35protesters. So therefore, expect that the Congress Party would be increasing heat on this issue.
01:41As we speak, youth Congress workers are already at the police station. They would obviously press
01:47for an FIR in this regard. In stringent sections, Congress is alleging that the FIR that has been
01:55filed so far is mild in nature. And therefore, these people who are openly admitting and absolutely
02:02defined by Delhi police, they should be booked and they should also be sent behind bars. So as we speak,
02:10the legal team of Congress Party seems to be helping Nishu Azad in this regard so that she could get
02:14her FIR registered. Remember, earlier Rahul Gandhi had all the way gone to Parliament Street Police
02:20Station to get FIR registered for Sahil Lochab, who was the alleged pellet gun victim. At that point of
02:26time also, he also sat on a dharna for almost eight to nine hours. And at that point, Rahul Gandhi
02:32was
02:32absolutely defiant that until there is an FIR going to be registered in this regard, he's not going to
02:37be budged. He's not going to budge from that place. So I expect that the same amount of pressure,
02:42this time also Congress would be exerting Rahul Gandhi is already saying that Nishu Azad is being
02:47penalized only because she was speaking on behalf of a community, Dalit community and also for the
02:53student cause. So expect that now this issue is going to become a major flashpoint between BJP and
03:00Congress. And obviously, given the fact that CJP is also involved, expect that this is going to have
03:05huge political ramifications in near future.
03:11Rahul, I request you to stay on with us. Let me take this back to Anshul Singh, who's at the
03:15Parliament Street Police Station. Anshul, a lot of action there. Saurav Das has just reached no
03:20information that Rahul Gandhi will reach. We see how the security has been heightened.
03:25Swatantra Bharadwaj, he's made some very controversial statements and a clear message needs to go out that
03:29nobody is bigger than the law. However, the CJP, as we understand, is also planning to get out the
03:35Parliament. Is there any confirmation on that? How are they planning to approach this matter?
03:44Well, at this point, if I could just give you a sense of these visuals, my video journalist Manish
03:49Jaa will show you that there is almost a tassel that has broken out right outside the Parliament
03:54Street Police Station. You can see this heavy deployment of forces, the members of ITBP and
03:58central forces have been deployed over here. Apart from that, the workers of the Cockroach
04:03Janta Party are now standing over here demanding that they should be allowed to go in. You can
04:09see in these visuals as well that Saurav Das has, in fact, and Ashutosh Ranka has been taken
04:14inside the barricades, whereas the other people, the other followers who had accompanied them
04:19have been asked to stop outside the gates of the Parliament Street Police Station. So, in the next few
04:25minutes, we can expect that this entire meeting between Ranka, Saurav Das and DCP, Delhi and other
04:33senior officials will happen in the next few minutes. But the CJP protesters are now demanding
04:38that there are a few other people, a few other lawyers that they are claiming who needs to be
04:42allowed inside. But at this point in time, a decision on that is being taken. It remains to be seen
04:48once this
04:49meeting happens. Will the workers of the CGP would actually be happy or be satisfied with the manner in
04:55which the discussion goes ahead? But if that does not happen, then definitely there could be more
05:02larger action that could be taken by the CGP workers eventually. But at this point in time,
05:07their focus is set on having a word with the senior officials of the Delhi Police along with their
05:13members and a few other lawyers so that they could put their point across as to why there should be
05:21an
05:21attempt to murder case that should be registered. Because as we all know, that just a confession
05:26that has been made by the accused does not stand in the court of law. Even if a 164 confession
05:31has been
05:32done, then the police actually needs to go ahead and corroborate evidences that substantiate the claim
05:37that has been made by the accused as well. In this case, the statement that came out from Delhi Police
05:42yesterday, they had said that the injuries that was sustained by the said victim, that is Sanjay Azhar,
05:50were not serious in nature. And this was something that was mentioned in the MLC. And hence, the section
05:56109 of the BNS, that is attempt to murder sections, were not added in this FIR. But definitely, this is
06:03not something that is satisfactory for the people. And hence, they are continuing with their protest over
06:10here. You can see that they are trying to converse with the officers of the Delhi Police, somewhere
06:14or the other, trying to put their point across as to why is it important for them, for more people
06:18to enter inside the DCP office and then have a conversation. But at this point in time, it does
06:24not seem like that any ice is being broken between the two parties. The CGP is very, very clear that
06:31they
06:31will go ahead and speak with the DCP. They will try to make sure that sections of attempt to murder
06:37and
06:37other serious sections are added, which does not warrant an immediate, which does actually warrant an
06:42immediate arrest. And then eventually, Swatantrata Bhardwaj is taken into custody at the earliest. But at this
06:48point in time, definitely, there is this tassel that has sort of a situation that has almost started. If I
06:53could
06:54show you on the other side, that is on the main roadside, the workers of the CGP have now sat
07:00over here,
07:01outside the Parliament Street Police Station, continuously raising slogans. But at this point
07:06in time, there are not a lot of supporters, as we have seen previously, who accompany the CGP
07:11workers. There are a few workers, protesters who have reached over here. They are raising slogans.
07:17They have sat on a dhana outside the Parliament Street, right outside the main gates of the Parliament
07:21Street Police Station. It can become a cause of concern for the Delhi Police, because yet again,
07:26this is a heavy security area. The International Parliament is less than 500 meters away from this
07:33location. And hence, this heavy security deployment that has been made over here. Now, once the meeting
07:39happens, it remains to be seen what kind of messaging would be done to the cadre of the CGP. And
07:44will the
07:44protest be handled today itself? Or will it end today itself? Or will the CGP try to amp up press?
07:50If you talk about the Congress Party, the Congress Party has also come out in support, though no big or
07:56senior leader of the of the Congress Party is over here. But Delhi, Yuva Mocha's Akshay Lakhra
08:02is present, who is of the Congress Party, who is present over here. Along with him, there are
08:08four to five workings, four to five arbitraries of the Congress Party who have also reached over here.
08:16And they've they are also trying to get inside, basically showing the support for the manner in
08:22which Nishu Azad has gone ahead and raised these allegations against, against Swatantat
08:29Bhartavad. So it remains to be seen what will eventually happen. But at this point in time,
08:32the situation does not seem to be subsiding, subsiding. In fact, there is some more movement
08:37that is happening happening over here. Some more leaders have started to reach over here.
08:42This sounds really good.
08:42You
