00:00And there was yet another controversy and this time at Chhatro Ki Goonj
00:04and something that the BJP describes as a disrespectful skit by an ersanskari naras phoopa.
00:12At Rahul Gandhi's Chhatro Ki Goonj event in Indore, this happened on Saturday,
00:16the Congress invited a comedian, Pulkit Mani.
00:19Now the comedian performed a skit, a mimicry of sorts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:24and mocked an incident involving the Prime Minister and an elderly lady
00:29whom he referred to as Maa.
00:32The BJP slammed the Congress over this mockery,
00:36saying that the party has stooped to a new low.
00:40Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said,
00:42Rahul Gandhi is insulting Nareh Shakti and misleading the youth.
00:46The Congress defended the act at Indore,
00:49arguing that the episode was satire, was mockery.
00:53It wasn't a serious comment or a statement.
00:55The Congress also questioned why there wasn't similar outrage
00:59when Rahul Gandhi's mother was insulted.
01:02Hear them out.
01:06My friend, how are you?
01:08I'm fine.
01:09How are you, Modi ji?
01:11Great harassment.
01:16Maa ko kursi to.
01:19Maa.
01:20Maa.
01:24My friend, how are you?
01:26I'm fine.
01:28How are you, Modi ji?
01:29Great harassment.
01:34Maa ko kursi to.
01:37Maa.
01:38Maa.
01:44So this isn't the first such incident.
01:46Last month, Rahul Gandhi and Congress leader Sandeep Deekshid,
01:49they staged a skit of sorts to mock Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign policy
01:54of using, and used, you know, the name of another head of state,
01:59Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
02:00They were at that time talking about hak promissory.
02:03The question is, has politics been reduced to distasteful mockery disguised as such quips?
02:11We'll discuss that in greater detail, but there's also a statement by former Vice President
02:17Hamid Ansari that's triggered yet another showdown.
