00:00We come to you live from right in front of the inner circle, Cunard Place, practically turned into a fortress.
00:06Huge difference. Let me begin with what is different this time than what was the 10th of October.
00:12This time around, all arterial roads leading to Central Derry open.
00:16There is a steady flow of traffic. All metro stations open.
00:20What is the same?
00:23Well, there is a, you know, what we've seen at least in the course of the last couple of hours.
00:27Every 15, 20 minutes, there is a steady stream of protesters that are now coming in with the tricolor and
00:35are then being detained.
00:37But the kind of force that we have seen on the 10th of October, fortunately, completely missing right now.
00:44The administration, the paramilitary forces are, you know, in terms of numbers, massive on ground.
00:52But in terms of force, very little.
00:54We've only seen two flashpoints.
00:57One, when Neha Bora was attempting to come in to the inner circle when she was detained.
01:03She and Dipankar Bhattacharya were leading the protest from the SFI towards the inner circle from Mandi House and they
01:11were detained.
01:11The second, a short while ago, where once again a clutch of SFI students had come in to protest and
01:18then were detained subsequently.
01:20I'm going to just give you a sense, Pawan will show you on what it looks like right now outside,
01:27right in front of the inner circle of Knaut Place, which is completely fortified.
01:32While the police and paramilitary forces are constantly urging people to move.
01:37But at least what we've seen in the last, you know, an hour is a steady stream.
01:44One group coming in, some of them getting detained and then there's a lull and then we see another group
01:50coming in.
01:51But people are still gathering out here at the inner circle of Knaut Place.
01:58In the midst of it, I'm going to take you through now on how the day panned out, viewers.
02:04Through the course of the day, Abhiji Dipke was taken into preventive custody.
02:09Neha Bora was detained.
02:11She's at the Barakamba police station while things reaching to her head.
02:16Now there is a preparation here by SFI students, all of them holding the tricolor.
02:22And there is going to be an attempt to once again try and enter inner circle of Knaut Place.
02:28Pawan will also show you a build-up here as well by SFI students as well as others who have
02:36come in to unfold the tricolor.
02:42Will they be detained?
02:44We'll only know in a short while.
02:46Pawan and I will continue to get you the latest.
02:48But I just want to take you through and give you a sense of how the day unfolded at Knaut
02:54Place and at Mandi House,
02:56where the left took out its process, wanting to converge into Knaut Place, inner circle.
03:11CJP founder Abhiji Dipke could never reach Delhi's Central Park for his Tirangar rally.
03:17He was detained by Delhi police as soon as he stepped out of NCP-SP spokesperson Anish Gawande's residence,
03:25where he was staying.
03:36Dipke's detention came hours after Delhi police denied him permission to protest.
03:42A police team visited Dipke at Gawande's residence, directing him not to proceed with the proposed rally at Central Park.
03:50Instead, they gave an alternative, 11 people can carry the national flag and sing the national anthem at a suitable
03:57place.
04:00During the interaction, Dipke told police that he only intends to unfurl the tricolor, not protest.
04:07He also questioned whether unfurling the flag is considered unlawful.
04:32Inside the residence, Dipke read and signed the notice served to him, holding the national flag in his hand.
04:39He maintained that the proposed gathering would be peaceful and they would abide by the constitution.
05:07This is what Narendra movie has turned our country into.
05:15But the administration had already taken several precautionary measures ahead of the Tirangar rally.
05:24Central Park has been shut for two days, citing administrative reasons.
05:29Security was tightened across Karnat Place and adjoining areas,
05:33with a substantial deployment of Delhi police and Central Armed Police Forces.
05:38Reports put the deployment at more than 6,000 Delhi police personnel
05:42and 220 companies of Central Armed Police Forces in the New Delhi area.
05:47Authorities also issued a public advisory, urging people not to join an unauthorized assembly.
05:56While police claim that Dipke's detention was to maintain public order,
06:01the police action has once again triggered the debate over the right to protest.
