00:00Now, we've been seeing anti-SIR protest demands for the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar across the country.
00:08In Tamil Nadu, however, there's been one question for the last many days.
00:11Where is the TVK? Why haven't they been out on the streets?
00:14And while you've heard many comments against SIR, even from the TVK,
00:19so far, there hasn't been a word on CEC Gyanesh Kumar.
00:23That's changed today.
00:24When the TVK hit the streets for the first time in Chennai,
00:27along with their India Bloc allies, along with the Congress,
00:30demanding very clearly the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
00:35The protest in Chennai was led by the Congress,
00:37and so there was TVK, VCK and the CPIM in attendance, the MDMK as well, as you can see there.
00:44VCK Chief Tol Thirma Vallivan also claimed that he had advised Stalin during the election
00:49to change constituencies, not to fight from Kolatur.
00:52But Stalin had dismissed concerns.
00:54Tol Thirma Vallivan says the reason he had advised Stalin is because of SIR.
00:59Remember, the DMK today is saying that it's because of SIR that Stalin lost
01:03because one lakh votes were deleted during the exercise in the Kolatur constituency.
01:08Questions over the impact of SIR have resurfaced.
01:11And the DMK, of course, wasn't part of this particular protest.
01:14They've made it very clear that they believe it's due to SIR that they've lost.
01:17The TVK is also anti-SIR, saying we'd have won more seats, if not for the exercise.
01:25India Alliance has called for a massive protest in the city of Chennai, and that's what you see.
01:29The colors of flags over here.
01:31MDMK, VCK, CPI, CPIM, Congress Party, and along with this, TVK is also participating for the first time.
01:38And the important aspect over here is that there you see, that is the Chief Election Commissioner,
01:42Gyanesh Kumar, with his mouth shut with the necks.
01:44That is the reason for this protest.
01:45This is about the SIR, Special Intensive Revision.
01:48And very clearly, all the netas are also present over here.
01:51You have Thiruma Walavan on this poster, and you also have the Chief Minister Vijay,
01:55who for the very first time, his party, is supporting it right now.
01:58In fact, over here, we can also see that all the leaders of this particular alliance have also come over
02:02here.
02:03They're also standing over there.
02:04We saw Manikam Tagore, Waiko, and other leaders also present at this particular location.
02:09This is a protest that has been brought in for, you know, against the anti-SIR.
02:14So that's Manikam Tagore, who's also present at this location.
02:16And you also have the various leaders, other party leaders as well.
02:20In fact, MD, MK's Waiko is also present over here.
02:24CPIM's Shanmugam is also present over here.
02:26This is how they are bringing in the solidarity against the SIR over here.
02:31Very clearly, they say that Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, must resign.
02:35I have the same above here.
02:37I have the same above here.
02:40I have the same above here.
02:40So I have the same above here.
02:40Then I have been told...
02:41I've said that if you have to marry this situation, you're saying that you are not going away.
02:48You are saying, I'm saying that you are saying the State Association.
02:50I have the same over here.
02:50Then I have been told that.
02:52I have 12 years ago.
02:53These people have been asked about BLE.
02:56has been called correct impact.
02:58There is nothing else to do.
03:00I have been told.
03:02It's been said that it's been a statement that since the government is coming down there.
03:08So, about this protest over here, your participation.
03:17Narendra Modi government attempted to murder democracy.
03:30The darkness of authoritarianism has spread, particularly in the capital city of Delhi.
03:40So, Gyanesh Kumar has become the polian and agent of Narendra Modi.
03:48Now the student's revolution has broken out.
03:53It is unprecedented in Delhi. Not even during the emergency such a protest has happened.
04:01So, this will not stop. This will erupt, as Mr. Rahul Gandhi stated, after a small lull because of celebrations.
04:12This will erupt again and this will overthrow not only Gyanesh Kumar and Narendra Modi's regime also from the minds
04:25of the electorate in the ensuing parliament election.
04:28This is my observation.
