00:36behave in such an inappropriate manner with a woman that to a female police personnel?
00:42Let's listen in to what's being said.
00:45What kind of message is Rahul Gandhi trying to convey to the woman of India, our Nari Shakti,
00:52with such crude and improper conduct?
00:55On one hand, Rahul Gandhi has the audacity to lecture about, smash the patriarchy.
01:02And on the other hand, he engages in such indecent behavior.
01:09Disgrace on Rahul Gandhi for insulting the dignity of a woman.
01:14And if he has any sense of shame or guilt left, Rahul Gandhi should apologize immediately.
01:23Piyush Mishra is joining me on the phone line on this story.
01:26Piyush, the video has come out of Rahul Gandhi and women police officers and the BJP
01:33immediately on the attack, questioning Rahul's commitment to protecting Nari Shakti,
01:41to protecting the entire smash the patriarchy movement that had been started with protests
01:47by women students in Delhi.
01:49But that has now been turned against the Congress.
01:54What are you picking up from BJP and what is the opposition saying about this?
01:57Well, that's right, Anisha.
02:01And we can clearly see as to how BJP has now latched on to the entire incident.
02:06And we are now seeking answers from Rahul Gandhi over his smash the patriarchy campaign.
02:13And BJP has put out a post which says, and I read, Rahul Gandhi lectures the nation on
02:19smash the patriarchy and protecting women's dignity.
02:22Here on camera, he is pushing and inappropriately touching a woman police officer.
02:28Rahul Gandhi's hypocrisy is not hidden anymore, it's live on camera.
02:32So BJP is now seeking answers from Rahul Gandhi where he is clearly the same pushing a female
02:38police officer while he was taking part in this protest there at the roundabout which connects
02:45Tantra Mantra and various other parts of the national capital.
02:48Remember that this video pertains to yesterday evening protest when a large number of NSEA
02:54workers and female Congress leaders had reached there at the roundabout of Lee Meriden
02:59and they started protesting because they wanted to go to Jantra Mantra.
03:03And during this protest, Rahul Gandhi can clearly be seen pushing female police officers
03:08to nature.
03:09Now BJP is asking questions from Rahul Gandhi and saying that his hypocrisy has now been exposed.
03:16We'll have to wait and watch how the Congress is going to react on Rahul Gandhi's act.
03:22Well, Piyush, as you said, the BJP has immediately latched on to that video, but we are seeing these
03:29protests continuing.
03:30What are you picking up from your sources, whether it is the BJP or the opposition parties?
03:35The protests are likely to continue.
03:38Are we going to see more of a crackdown now that these videos have come out?
03:42We also saw the FIR by the Akashwani Bhavan officials against Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.
03:50Are we likely to see more of a crackdown in the coming days?
03:53Well, no doubt the Delhi police will do crackdown because a lot of anti-social elements have
03:58come on the street.
04:00Yesterday, more than 90 people were detained.
04:02What was told from Delhi police sources is that the Delhi BBC is analyzing a lot of videos
04:10and is trying to identify the people who are trying to attack not only police personnel
04:15but also the protesters who are protesting because the British protesters have claimed
04:19that even they have been attacked.
04:21So, Delhi police is analyzing all these videos and trying to identify the faces of people
04:27who have brutally attacked Delhi police personnel and have also been handled various female police
04:33personnel because this is completely out of control.
04:37This is not going to be tolerated and this is certainly a crime and Delhi police is looking
04:43into all these anti-social elements.
04:45We'll have to see what kind of actions Delhi police will be taking.
04:48But one thing is clear that political controversy has already broken out where BJP is now
04:52seeking answers from Rahul Gandhi over his act which has now been caught in camera.

05:13The Congress-led opposition's Dharna against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in Delhi
05:17has now snowballed into a massive controversy.
05:21A Delhi police is analyzing videos and allegations that several of its personnel,
05:26including women officers, were assaulted during the protest.
05:29Sources say the cops are set to register an FIR for assault on police personnel and obstruction of police work.
05:37In fact, one of the cops on duty during the Dharna has alleged that he was attacked by protesters.
05:43Delhi Police Constable Ankit Kasana has claimed that he was abused and assaulted by a group of 35-40 people
05:50who allegedly surrounded him, tore his uniform before he was rescued by his seniors.
05:56The BJP also targeting Lok Sabha leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi,
05:59alleging that he inappropriately touched a woman police officer during the confrontation.
06:04However, the opposition has accused the police of brutality.
06:09Congress alleged that Priyanka Gandhi Wadra was thrown to the ground
06:12and her body was scratched by police personnel.
06:15Opposition also alleged that Delhi police officials assaulted TMC MP Mahua Moitra during the protest.
06:25And so his whole policevard was recognized as a former police officer named Kesh Medhatani.
06:28When he was attacked by man in the Historian in the
06:35Americaυ vu бокs of fire to give him some attention column.
06:45The police mass do not live in a proper uniform and is to know him either.
06:47It's not my safety. I need my family's safety.
06:52People target them.
