00:00 The morning that we have been waiting for for so long,

00:04 that morning will come.

00:06 The day that will bless these hungry and thirsty souls,

00:10 that morning will come.

00:13 Honourable Speaker, Sir, my esteemed colleagues,

00:17 I stand today to respond to the Honourable President's Address

00:19 on behalf of my party, the All India Trinamool Congress.

00:23 The President's Address is the Government's assessment

00:27 of the state of the Union today.

00:30 And I stand before you to vehemently disagree with that assessment

00:34 and to ask the most important question that faces us all.

00:39 What is the kind of Republic we want?

00:41 What is the India that we want today?

00:44 What is our idea of India that we are willing to stand up for,

00:47 fight for, be abused for, get jailed for?

00:51 Ours is a living Constitution.

00:53 It breathes as long as we are willing to breathe life into it.

00:56 Otherwise, it's just a piece of paper, black and white,

00:59 that can be smudged into shades of grey by any majoritarian government.

01:03 An elected government bears the people's trust to uphold the Constitution,

01:08 both in letter as well as in spirit.

01:10 If the government fails, we all fail.

01:13 So it is not enough for Indians to sit back and watch

01:16 and wish each other a happy Republic Day.

01:19 This government wants to alter history.

01:21 They are fearful of the future and they mistrust the present.

01:25 Robert F. Kennedy in the 1960s had warned of such hateful forces.

01:30 The Honourable President, early on in his Address,

01:33 speaks about freedom fighters who secured India's rights.

01:36 He speaks of Gurutej Bahadur, V.O. Chidambaram Pillai and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

01:42 But this is just lip service.

01:44 In reality, recalling India's past, a past of decency, a past of plurality,

01:50 a past of secularism, makes this government very, very insecure.

01:56 So the disallowed Republic Day floats on West Bengal, from Tamil Nadu, from Kerala,

02:01 floats on Netaji, who taught us to say "Jai Hind",

02:04 floats on Subramaniam Bhartiyar, who said that even if Indians are divided,

02:09 they are still the child of one mother,

02:11 floats on V.O. Chidambaram Pillai, who even when he was threatened with being imprisoned on sedition,

02:17 refused to stop his political activity,

02:19 and floats on Srinarayan Guru, who picked up a rock and consecrated it as Ereva Shiva.

02:25 The invocation of an imaginary past, however, goes on and on.

02:30 This government has reinvented Savarkar as a freedom fighter.

02:34 The apology letter he wrote to the British, begging for release,

02:38 is now being recast as some kind of strategic masterstroke.

02:42 The appropriation of Bhagat Singh, who was staunchly anti-fascist,

02:45 the appropriation of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who banned the RSS after becoming Home Minister.

02:51 The President's address refers to Netaji on multiple occasions.

02:55 I will remind this republic that this is the same Netaji who said,

02:59 "The government of India should have an absolutely neutral and impartial attitude towards all religions."

03:06 Would Netaji have approved of a Haridwar Dharam Sansad that issues blood-curdling calls for Muslim genocide?

03:13 On June 14, 1938, in Komila, now Bangladesh, Netaji said,

03:18 "Communalism has raised its ugly head in an all-out nakedness."

03:23 Netaji's Indian National Army's insignia was Tipu Sultan's springing tiger.

03:28 The same Tipu Sultan that you erased from our textbooks,

03:32 after whom you cannot bear to name roads or sports stadiums.

03:36 The INA's mottos were three Urdu words, "Ittehad", "Itmad" and "Kurbani".

03:42 Unity, trust and sacrifice.

03:45 The same Urdu language that this government is so delighted to replace with Hindi

03:49 as the first and official language of Jammu and Kashmir.

03:52 The President's address refers to Khadi being a symbol of consciousness under the leadership of Bapu.

03:58 But the unholy Dharam Sansad's issue calls to kill Bapu all over again.

04:04 You have already succeeded in glorifying Gandhi's assassins,

04:08 but just for the sake of those children who will grow up watching "Beating the Retreat" without his favorite hymn,

04:14 let me remind you of some of the lyrics.

04:16 "Come not in terror as the King of Kings, but kind and good with healing in thy wings."

04:22 "Tears for all, a heart for every plea."

04:26 "Come, friends of sinners, abide with me."

04:29 The President's speech lauds these great personalities for fighting for our rights,

04:34 but in reality the masters of our republic fear their own irrelevance

04:38 if in future India and Indians are actually guaranteed the rights and liberties enshrined in our constitution.

04:45 The Freedom House report 2021 changes India's status from free to partly free.

04:51 The World Press Freedom Index India retains 142nd spot out of 180,

04:57 remains one of the most dangerous places globally for journalists today.

05:01 The Human Freedom Index 2020, measuring personal, civic and economic freedoms,

05:06 puts India at 111th spot out of 160.

05:10 You fear a future India which is comfortable in its own skin.

05:16 What do I mean by this?

05:17 You fear an India which is comfortable with embracing...

05:21 (Speaking in Hindi)

05:31 (Speaking in Hindi)

05:38 (Speaking in Hindi)

06:03 You fear a future India which is comfortable in its own skin,

06:11 which is comfortable with conflicting realities.

06:14 So you fear an India where a Jain boy can hide from home and enjoy a kati kebab on a streetcar in Abdabad.

06:21 So what do you do?

06:22 You forbid non-vegetarian street food in Gujarat municipalities.

06:26 You fear the future where on the eve of an election

06:29 you may not be able to arm twist government agencies to raid opposition leaders.

06:33 So you need to extend the tenure of the CBI and ED chiefs depending on how they do your bidding.

06:39 You fear a future in which bureaucrats in a state cannot be bullied by the centre,

06:43 so you amend the IAS cadre rules.

06:46 This fear of irrelevance in the future makes you behave the way you do.

06:50 You are not content with just a vote.

06:52 You want to get inside our heads, inside our homes,

06:55 to tell us what to eat, what to wear, who to love.

06:58 But your fear alone cannot keep the future at bay.

07:02 Jis subha ki khatir jug jug se, hum sab mar mar ke jeete hai,

07:07 wo subha kabhi toh aayegi.

07:09 In bhooki, pyaasi rooho par, ek din toh karam parmaegi,

07:13 wo subha kabhi toh aayegi.

07:15 Kennedy tells us that people who want to stop history in its tracks mistrust the present.

07:21 This government mistrusts the very soul of our republic

07:24 when it brings in an act to link Aadhaar cards to the right to vote

07:27 because you are creating enormous possibilities to disenfranchise genuine voters.

07:33 You mistrust our annadatas who repeatedly told you,

07:36 "Don't bring in the farm laws."

07:38 Even when you rolled them back,

07:40 I think it was more your fear of losing 70 seats in Western UP

07:43 than any remorse you felt for the 700-plus farmers who passed away.

07:47 You have still not guaranteed MSP in writing.

07:50 One of the main demands.

07:52 You mistrust the jaats, the Sikhs, anyone who stands up to you.

07:55 And yet, the minute elections are round the corner,

07:58 you shamelessly put on a pagdi and put out offers of alliances.

08:02 But this time, the chaudharies will not forget.

08:05 The chaudharies will not forget that the son of a sitting minister of this government

08:09 mowed down five farmers,

08:11 and it took three full days to arrest him,

08:13 and that too after a horrified Supreme Court stepped in.

08:17 I stand here today and ask you to remove the Minister of State,

08:20 the Member of Parliament from Kheri from office.

08:22 Every minute that he continues in his chair

08:25 is an affront to not only democracy,

08:28 but to the very decency and self-respect of our polity.

08:31 I shouldn't be standing here saying this.

08:33 Your conscience should be telling you this.

08:35 Jab naash panuch par aata hai, toh pehle Vivek mar jata hai.

08:40 The way the masters of our republic mistrust the present

08:44 is most acutely illustrated by the pegasus mess.

08:48 And yes, I am going to say it,

08:50 because who are now the treasury benches

08:53 brought down an entire government on 2G

08:56 when 2G was still sub-judice.

08:58 So don't give me this sub-judice, sub-judice, sub-judice.

09:00 I will bring it up.

09:02 The way the masters of our republic mistrust the present

09:04 is most acutely illustrated by the pegasus mess.

09:07 The government stands accused of having spent taxpayers' money

09:10 to buy technology to spy on its own citizens.

09:13 To paraphrase a leading journalist,

09:16 New York Times is lying, the wire is lying,

09:19 Amnesty is lying, the French government is lying,

09:21 the German government is lying, the US government is lying,

09:24 WhatsApp and Apple, who have sued NSO, are lying.

09:27 Only this government is in splendid isolation

09:29 with the truth in Pegasus.

09:31 One minister calls it supari media,

09:33 another stands up in this house and lies to us blatantly.

09:36 How does this government justify introducing a data protection bill

09:40 which empowers the state to exempt itself

09:42 from every privacy obligation that the law imposes?

09:45 You have little respect for the most fundamental aspect of India,

09:48 that it is a union of states with a federal structure.

09:52 How else can you explain your patently illegal extension

09:55 of the BSF jurisdiction 50km into state territory?

09:59 You mistrust journalist Siddique Kapun to an extent

10:03 that you arrest him even before he's visited Hathras

10:06 and even before he's written his report.

10:08 You mistrust comedian Munawar Faruqi

10:11 before a joke he's even yet to crack.

10:14 The President's speech says this government has made a beginning

10:17 to liberate Muslim women by removing triple talaq and hajj restrictions.

10:21 And yet, on New Year's Day 2022,

10:23 Muslim women in India awoke to the reality of being auctioned as bulli bais.

10:29 This was version 2.0 of 2021's Sulli Deals.

10:33 It was only after huge backlash that the government took action

10:36 and a few arrests were made.

10:38 Muslims today are denied houses and rent,

10:40 accused of being spreaders of Covid in India,

10:43 economically boycotted, forbidden from praying in designated spaces.

10:46 This battle of 80% vs 20% that this government has started

10:50 risks ruining 100% of our sacred republic.

10:55 Two minutes, madam. I have 13 minutes. Two minutes.

10:57 I am filled with horror at this rampant Islamophobia.

11:02 Two minutes, sir. I have got 13 minutes, sir.

11:04 I've got 13 minutes, madam.

11:06 Madam, I've got 13 minutes.

11:07 Okay, two minutes. I've got 13 minutes.

11:09 I'll finish in two minutes.

11:11 And it is not rampant.

11:13 According to the United Christian Forum,

11:15 there have been 460 attacks on Christians in 2021 alone.

11:19 Violent mobs have attacked churches, Christian congregations,

11:22 and Christmas celebrations in 16 towns and cities.

11:25 I am filled with horror and shame as I repeat to you

11:28 what Mounirul Sheikh, an old man in my home of Karimpur Nadia,

11:32 told me last year.

11:33 Ma, it is your fight for politics, but our fight for the country.

11:38 Ma, for you, this is a battle of ideology.

11:41 But for us, it is a war for survival.

11:43 Let me finish, sir. Let me finish the last thing.

11:45 Last one minute.

11:46 Cut the line. No, no. No.

11:48 No, no. No, no. No, no.

11:51 No, no.

11:52 Mr. Bashir, you speak.

11:54 You speak.

11:55 Speak, Mr. Bashir.

11:57 You sit.

11:58 Sit. Sit.

12:00 Madam, one minute, madam.

12:06 13 minutes is not done, sir. One minute, madam.

12:08 Please, thank you.

12:09 Eight minutes.

12:11 But today, we as Indians need to realize one thing.

12:14 If we are to save this republic, the onus lies on us.

12:18 To all of you that I say, lawyers, actors, journalists, businessmen,

12:23 who say this country needs a change,

12:26 to all of you I say, you cannot choose the time of battle.

12:29 The bugle has sounded.

12:31 The citizens of our republic need to fight now.

12:33 This morning, we will come.

12:35 To the judiciary, I use my parliamentary privilege and say,

12:38 you are all this country has as last recourse and remedy.

12:42 Do not fail us.

12:43 Step in proactively.

12:45 To the opposition, I say.
