00:00A full-on political face-off between the Congress and BJP.
00:02This is after LOP Rahul Gandhi challenged Prime Minister Modi to an open debate.
00:06BJP is asserting that the Parliament, rather than social media or streets,
00:10is the constitutional venue for debates between leaders of opposition and even the Prime Minister.
00:15And the government has been always ready to discuss issues such as SIR.
00:19Leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi has dared PM Modi, basically, for an open debate
00:23on the allegations that opposition takes foreign help or that the opposition is anti-national.
00:28Rahul Gandhi has said 73% of youth in his online election wanted the debate to happen.
00:35Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiran Rajiju, meanwhile, launched a blistering attack on Rahul Gandhi.
00:39Rajiju, in turn, put out a seven-point mantra for Rahul Gandhi to win elections.
00:43His suggestions included that Rahul Gandhi should avoid secret foreign trips,
00:47end his hatred for the BJP, RSS, and PM Modi, and not run away from debates in the Parliament.
00:52He's also asked Rahul Gandhi to end dynasty politics and respect the Constitution.
00:56The RSS is, meanwhile, defending SIR and saying any regime change can only be possible
01:01by the way of ballot, which is voting, and not unrest, like is being created.
01:06RSS has also spoken against anarchist forces trying to create unrest in the society.
01:11Let's listen in to all of these reactions.
01:13It's been 24 hours. I have given you a challenge.
01:19You have said that the opposition is a country, on any stage.
01:28You have said that the opposition is a country, on any stage.
01:32And debate with me.
01:34Who is a country?
01:36Who is the connection of the land, and who is the connection of the land?
01:41And who is the connection of the land?
01:42Go ahead and do it. Don't be afraid.
01:45don't get both, there will be media, the country will be a table, one side you will sit,
01:55one side I will sit, whoever you want to make judge, give it to Mohan Bhagwat Ji,
02:00let's go and then debate.
02:04One thing I want to tell you, if you are a leader of opposition, this is not your
02:08position. If you are a leader of opposition and you believe that you are a leader of opposition,
02:14where do you debate in front of yourself, or in some way, or in some way, or in some
02:22action? Debate to be a debate? Boforz with Bhupal Guest as editor, there will be a lot of debate.
02:30This time you say, there will be a debate, there will not be a debate, you will start
02:36with a debate, Pradhan Mantri ji will reply, and there will be a lot of debate. Why do
02:42people don't call it in the city? This is not Bangladesh, this is not Nepal.
02:47Rahul Gandhi, let alone the 73% you mentioned in your mock poll, even youth congress office
02:56bearers of your own party consider you utterly unfit and incompetent, which is why they snubbed
03:03you by boycotting your failed rally. Rahul Gandhi has now become very nervous and rattled,
03:11which is why he is enacting this desperate drama to frantically divert attention and somehow cover
03:18up the shameful fact that Rahul Gandhi has suspended more than 80 youth congress office bearers in
03:24Madhya Pradesh and many more in Himachal Pradesh, Hariyana, and across the nation.
03:28Rajani Jitik Partio hom´s koy a pen in China's agenda se come
03:31pranik kei yaadat rheti hao kar sakti hain.
03:34Doktant rai.
03:36Liagini virodh karna hai.
03:38Lekin man, virodh karna hai.
03:39Lekina, virodh karna hai, is liye karna hai, usmeen kuch satya hai,
03:42how tekei karna chahi hai.
03:44Abhi dheera karodh naam usmeen,
04:12Let's go across to Ishwara Palewal.
04:13She's getting us all the latest on that.
04:15But Ishwara, so now we've seen a mock parliament,
04:18we've seen mock arrest and buyer parliamentarian.
04:21So it's not like it's an educational institution.
04:23Tell me more about, especially these kind of strategies
04:25that are coming in and an open debate that has come in.
04:28But can you help me clarify this, Ishwara?
04:31Debates are happening in the parliament.
04:33So what does Rahul Gandhi say when he says,
04:35I want an open debate?
04:37Because anyway, in the parliament and sessions,
04:38we see debates happening.
04:41Well, you know, Pooja, I'll epitome you've asked
04:42a million dollar question because this exactly is the question
04:45that even the BJP is asking that there is a proper platform,
04:49there is a place where you can, in fact, have a debate,
04:52and that is the parliament.
04:54Home Minister Amitsha said that,
04:56yes, if you are willing to debate,
04:57I will call a special session.
04:59And the only topic that we will discuss is SIR.
05:02But you need to be present in the House when we speak.
05:05We will be present in the House when you will speak.
05:07And let's have a proper formatted debate.
05:10Rahul Gandhi, however, is saying that what he wants is an open debate.
05:13Now, we will have to wait and watch what exactly does one deal
05:16when one says open debate.
05:18But, you know, one thing is very clear, Pooja.
05:20What Rahul Gandhi also is trying to do is to make, you know,
05:24everything extremely presidential.
05:26What's happening now?
05:27It's Rahul Gandhi versus the Bhaktivanta Party,
05:29versus Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
05:31So on one side, we have the opposition, Rahul Gandhi,
05:33out of the speech and saying that I'm willing to debate
05:36and I am raising the issues that are the issues of the common man.
05:40The BJP turning around and saying that when the parliament session is on,
05:44you are either outside sloganing, you are either creating a ruckus,
05:47you are the ones who do not want to have a healthy debate.
05:49And in a debate, you need to listen also to what the other side is saying.
05:53So we are seeing this kind of, you know, blame game,
05:56which is being done, finger pointing, which obviously is being done.
05:59And Kirill Rajivu turning around from the BJP and saying
06:01that if you are so keen on having a debate,
06:03have it in the special session or have it in the winter session of the parliament.
06:07Thank you very much, Ashwarya.
06:09We'll be tracking all the latest.
06:10If there's going to be a mock debate also now,
06:12which the Congress will say that because it's not happening with the BJP,
06:15they'll want to hold it elsewhere.
06:16But it's important that in the parliament, remember,
06:18all of these questions are answered.
06:20So there's complete transparency when it comes to the voter watching
06:23about which way the country is heading.
06:25Thank you very much, Ashwarya, for the latest on that.
06:26But I've...
