Brut India

Broken microphone, tattered sheets of paper and angry politicians. Disagreement over two bills that aim to reform India’s farm sector led to these unflattering scenes at India’s House of Elders.

00:00and that is not all.

00:02After reaching there, they tore the rules book

00:05and tore the other documents as well

00:08and climbed on the throne.

00:14As far as I know, I can say

00:16that in the history of the country

00:19such an incident has never happened

00:22in the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha.

00:25When the BJP is actually

00:27breaking the very backbone of

00:30our parliamentary democracy.

00:33So this was the protest.

00:36I was part of the protest.

00:38Of course I was.

00:40And even if I tore the rule book

00:44what rules are there?

00:46There are no rules left.

00:57This film was made in Cooperation with

01:00the Government of India

01:02and the Republic of India.

01:05No part of this recording may be reproduced

01:08without Mooji Media Ltd.'s express consent.

01:27But as I said, the misbehaviour of the Deputy Chairman

01:42of the Rajya Sabha with him

01:45the whole country has seen it with their own eyes.

01:50But to go directly to his throne

01:55and not only go to his throne

01:57but to stand on his throne

02:00and tear the rule book

02:07and that's not all.

02:09To reach there and tear the rule book

02:12and also tear the other documents

02:15and climb on the throne.

02:21As far as I know, I can say

02:23that in the history of the world

02:26there has never been such an incident

02:28neither in the Lok Sabha nor in the Rajya Sabha.

02:54So this was the protest.

02:58I was part of the protest. Of course I was.

03:02And even if I tore the rule book

03:06what rules are there?

03:07There are no rules left.

03:08But let me make that clear.

03:12I did not tear a rule book.

03:14I know I did not.

03:16But even if I did tear it

03:18I have no regrets.

03:19I did not tear a rule book.

03:20I was looking at those four cams

03:22and all those four cams were showing Lok Sabha

03:25where are MPs Rajya Sabha, MPs sitting in Lok Sabha

03:27and one close-up of the Deputy Chairman sitting in his chair.

03:32By creating a misunderstanding among the common people

03:35among the common farmers

03:39the attempt to create only heterogenetic selfishness

03:45I think

03:47is inappropriate for healthy democratic traditions.

03:55And this is true for both.

03:59I can say that this is historic for both the farmers and the agricultural world.

04:05By implementing this

04:08naturally the farmers' income will increase.

04:13But a misunderstanding is being created among the farmers.

04:18MSP will be terminated.

04:21PMC will be terminated.

04:24The reality is that after these two bills are implemented

04:29our farmers can sell their goods anywhere in India

04:35with complete freedom

04:37wherever they get a good price.

04:40Neither will PMC be terminated

04:44nor will MSP.

05:10I know that in order to carry out the work of the Parliament

05:15where the responsibility of the ruling party lies

05:19the opposition is also expected to cooperate.

05:23The opposition is also expected to follow the world norms

05:27and carry out its role.

05:30It is also expected by the opposition.

05:40It has become the black day of parliamentary democracy in India.

05:47The way in which

05:52anti-farmer law has been taken up in the Parliament

05:57today, in the Rajya Sabha today

06:01is totally unacceptable.
