00:00Prime Minister Modi is in Bihar on a two-day visit and it's a big message to the netas of Bihar.

00:05And this is with regard to if there is a rebellion among Bihar netas.

00:09Remember he met the BGP cadre, the leadership of BGP Bihar.

00:13Prime Minister Modi has now said, when elections come, you switch parties.

00:17Now is this a message to his own party leaders or perhaps all of them?

00:21And as the Prime Minister saying that you need to stay in your parties and fight the polls.

00:24But it's a big message, especially of course for those netas who may try to rebel and of course specifically to the BGP.

00:32When elections come, Prime Minister says, you go to another party, then return.

00:36At that time, your importance will decrease.

00:39At this juncture, learn to get respect.

00:42And then has said, there should not be nepotism in politics.

00:46There should not be zamidarism in politics.

00:48So that's the latest that has come in from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's message.

00:55Also he said that the biggest capital in the party is to keep patience.

01:00If you keep your patience, you will get respect and reward in turn.

01:05And then he's referred to, and this is a reality of Bihar politics,

01:08that if the father or the mother has done well, they want it for their children.

01:13To which Prime Minister Modi says that for those who want to get tickets for their son,

01:20for their family members, there shouldn't be nepotism or landlordism.

01:24Rohit Singh is joining me for the latest.

01:26Rohit, tell me more about where did he say these statements to the rebel netas.

01:32And tell me about the rebel netas you are picking on.

01:35Who do you think is trying to rebel?

01:36Well, Pooja, from where we left yesterday evening, Prime Minister,

01:47when he had reached the BJP headquarters in the evening after the road show,

01:52he held an important meeting with all the party MPs, MLAs, MLCs and top party office bearers.

01:58And in that crucial meeting, which lasted for around one and a half hours,

02:01that is where the Prime Minister gave these all mantras and the mool mantras to all the party leaders and the cadre.

02:08So how win elections, how to keep patience, how to keep Parivarwad at bay.

02:14And patience was the key.

02:16It should not be like you are in a hurry.

02:18If you don't get anything in the party, then you switch parties.

02:21And again, when you lose another party, again you come back to the BJP.

02:24So this is the kind of message that was being sent out by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

02:30There are a lot of leaders who this time we are learning is that according to the survey which the BJP has conducted,

02:38that a lot of MLAs could be denied tickets.

02:41So in that case, there is a possibility that they may switch sides,

02:45they may fight elections from some other party and if they lose, they again come back.

02:49So this is the kind of message that was being sent by Prime Minister Modi in that crucial meeting.

02:54And as far as today is concerned, Pooja Prime Minister Modi just about to leave from Patna for Vikram Ganj,

03:02where he is scheduled to hold an important public meeting.

03:06That's a rally that is going to take place.

03:08It's going to be a political rally.

03:10And all the top brass of the BJP will be present there.

03:13Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will be present there.

03:15All the top Union Ministers from Bihar, they will be in attendance at that meeting.

03:21And the Prime Minister obviously going to inaugurate projects worth around 48,500 crore rupees for the development of Bihar.

03:30But obviously, all eyes will be on Operation Sindhur, the references he makes as far as Operation Sindhur is concerned.

03:39And let me tell you a quick point here, Pooja, why this area has been selected very early in the Prime Minister's election campaigns,

03:48which he has already started in Bihar.

03:50This is the third rally in Bihar this year.

03:52This is the Shahabad region and in the last two elections, the BJP or the NDA has not done well in this region.

03:59Almost two-third of the seats in these areas, that's the Shahabad region, has been swept by the Mahagat Bandhan.

04:07Whether it's two 2020 assembly elections in Bihar or the Lok Sabha elections that took place last year,

04:13these areas were swept by the Mahagat Bandhan.

04:16And that is why very early in his campaign, we are seeing that the Prime Minister focusing on Shahabad region

04:23to ensure that whatever mistakes may have taken place in the last two elections, that should not be repeated.

04:29And that is why the focus right now is on the Shahabad region.

04:33Back to you, Pooja.

04:34All right, very interesting.

04:34So, there's, of course, a choice with regard to locations also.

04:38Remember, this is an infrastructure push for the state of Bihar.

04:41And this afternoon, we'll expect a speech and a rally as well.

04:45Rohit will keep an eye on the action that's unfolding in Bihar.

04:49Stay on with me, Rohit, because Prime Minister Modi is on this two-day visit.

04:53It's a high-octane momentum.

04:54Unlike other states, this is truly an election state right now.

04:57Prime Minister Modi, on his arrival, held a massive roadshow.

05:01This was yesterday evening, there were full-on tirangas and Operation Sindhu's success was the backdrop as well.

05:07Now, he inaugurated a new passenger terminal at the Patana International Airport, built at a cost of Rs. 1,200 crore.

05:15Prime Minister Modi, this afternoon as well, will lay the foundation stone for development projects, over Rs. 48,000 crore.

05:22An area where this inauguration ceremony will take place is Karakad.

05:27There will also be, we are told, will also be a new airport at the Bihar district.

05:31But opposition parties are gunning for Prime Minister.

05:34They are saying that we need a special state status for Bihar.

05:38And that even development is being politicized by Prime Minister Modi for election.

05:42Prime Minister Modi, on the Bihar.

06:12Prime Minister Modi, air is a coalition of National Northern Rail breakers.

08:48Let's go across now to the BJP press conference that's happening all of course in the backdrop of the Bihar elections

08:54US expert

08:55और इस आर्टिकल में बहुँच मजबूती के साथ अपने विशे को रखते हैं, प्रस्तूत करते हैं

09:02और John Spencer कहते हैं कि किस प्रकार हिंदूस्तान में बने हुए जो टेकनोलोजीज थी

09:09चाहे वो आकाश हो, चाहे बाकी टेकनोलोजीज हो

09:15उन टेकनोलोजीज के माध्यम से किस प्रकार एक निरनायक जीत

09:20भारतवर्ष का भारतवर्ष की सेना का आतंकवाद के उपर हुआ है

09:25और वहीं चाइना के प्रोक्सी वेपन्स को पाकिस्तान ने यूज किया

09:32और वो धरासाई हुई है

09:34बड़ा डिटेल आर्टिकल है मुझे लगता है सभी को पढ़ना चाहिए

09:38और सभी को इस विशय पर गर्व करना चाहिए

09:42जॉन स्पेंसर का ये अकेला आर्टिकल नहीं है

09:45पूरे विश्व में हर देश में आज भारत को लेकर एक पॉजिटिव सोच है

09:52एक न्यू नॉर्मल जो भारत ने स्थापित किया है

09:56जिसके विशय में प्रधानमंत्री मानियशी नरिंद्र मोदी जी ने हम सबको अवगत कराया

10:01देश के नाम अपने संदेश में

10:03यह न्यू नॉर्मल एक बहुत बड़ी बात है

10:06आज हिंदुस्तान इसे सलाम भी कर रहा है

10:09तिरंगा यात्रा भी निकल रहा है

10:11देश की आर्मी को हर कोई सल्यूट भी कर रहा है

10:14वैसे में मुझे दुख होता है

10:16कि कुछ ऐसी पॉलिटिकल पार्टी है

10:20खास करके कॉंग्रिस

10:22जिन्होंने आरंभ में तो कहा कि हम देश के साथ खड़े हैं

10:26हम सरकार के साथ खड़े हैं

10:28मगर कदाचित एक दिन भी ये सरकार के साथ

10:32और हिंदुस्तान के साथ भारत के साथ खड़े नहीं थे

10:35प्रथम दिन से ही डेवन से राहुल गांधी जैराम रमेश

10:40और तमाम उनके लोग रॉबर्ट वाडरा से शुरू करके

10:44तमाम कॉंग्रेस पार्टी के नित्रुत्व ने भारत के सेना भारत के सौरे पर

10:49सवाल उठाया है और ये सबूत गैंग खुश नहीं है

10:53भारत ने जो किया है उस पे ये सबूत गैंग खुश नहीं

10:58कल तो मुझे बड़ा दुख लगा और आश्चिर जी भी लगा

11:02आप सोचके देखिए जैराम रमेश जो कि दाहीने हाँ थे गांधी

11:06परिवार के उनका बयान आता है और उनके बयान में कहा जाता है

11:10कि यहां आतंकवादी घूम रहे हैं और वहाँ जो है सांसद घूम रहे हैं

11:16I have to say that the people who are running around the delegation,

11:25who are running out of delegation,

11:27they are not running away.

11:29They are going to keep the government's place in the position of the position of the position.

11:35And there are also your own position.

11:37The name is everyone knows.

11:40you also have a good way to keep the country in a good way and Rahul Ghandi and the people

11:49are saying that they are floating around and floating around. There was a day when they called

11:59PMO to PMO. The Prime Minister of Sonia Ji said that they called their home, their

12:07home and their home. They had to give up. That day, when Sonia Ji was crying,

12:15the people who were crying, the people who were crying, the people who were crying, the people who were crying.

12:22Why did he kill the house? That day, when in 26-11, Rahul Ghandi was a party, they made a party.

12:31and I think that people are saying that they are going to run and run and run and I am surprised that

12:39Rahul Gandhi, Rewanth Reddy and Ramesh Ji all are asking, tell us how much land has gone

12:48in Hindustan. They are asking, tell us how much land has gone in Hindustan. Is this a question?

12:55You don't understand.

13:00Thailand has nine atankwadi addos. Satellite image showed.

13:07DGMO, when the press conference showed, the images showed. Then and now,

13:14how was it? What was it? These are all the pictures.

13:20When the air base was on the side, when the stream finally reached,

13:25when the air bases were on the side, where was going is?

13:31Where is it? Where is it? Where is the air base?

13:34Where are it? Where are the refueling center, where are the fire?

13:39Where are the air bases on the side?

13:41I have kept you in the face of a statute.

13:47If the earth falls, then itsäss is a

13:54image of the earth.

13:56If the earth falls, then the earth falls.

14:00And the earth falls.

15:16they are doing it, so Mr. Sharif and Rahul Ghandi are telling you,

15:21that this is your statement. Rahul asked, this is synchronized, this is not a coincidence,

15:33you remember that day one of them, they said that they are saying that we don't have to accept the issue of Pakistan,

15:41and that they should leave Pakistan, and then the other way they said that we are with the government,

15:47the other way, you remember that Indus Valley, which was the water treaty,

15:56when it was cancelled, Congress said that this is humanitarian,

16:02the other way, we don't need to stop the water from Pakistan,

16:07this is not a goal.

16:09And others said that the war is not a good thing, we don't need to go to war,

16:15we don't need to go to war.

16:16this is not a goal, it is not a goal, it is a goal, it is not a goal,

16:57। भारत का जय और भारत का वीर्ता। भारत की वीर्ता और भारत के जय के कारण गब्बर का प्राजय निश्चिनता है।

17:06आप सोची जड़ा देखिए कभी भी राहूल गांधी ने ये नहीं पूछा कि कितने पाकिस्तान के एर बेस ध्वस्त हुए।

17:36बढ़ गई है। इतना ही उनके प्रेस कॉंफरेंस में सत्यता थी। और आज मैं पूछना चाहता हूं राहूल जी।

17:44आज देश जानता है कि कॉंग्रेस में भी दो फाड़ है। एक वो कॉंग्रेस जो पाकिस्तान का समर्थन कर रही है।

17:51और कॉंग्रेस के अंदर भी कुछ ऐसे नेता हैं जो देश के लिए आवाज उठाना तो चाहते हैं किन्तु आपके कारण उठा नहीं पा रहे है।

18:02और ये जो जय हिंद की आत्रा आपने निकाला है।

18:32कि यही आपकी आज वास्त विखता है कि ममता जी ने भी बहुत ही मैं कहूंगा जो नहीं कहना चाहिए उस प्रकार की बाते कल ममता बहनर जी ने कहा है किसी भी चुने हुए प्रतिनिधी को या किसी भी नेता को

18:49in this way that the President of Narendra Modi is all of a friend,

18:56is he a husband of all of a husband?

18:59How is this?

19:02I don't want to say anything about it.

19:06Yes, President of Narendra Modi is all of a servant.

19:09He is a father or brother.

19:12There is no doubt.

19:14But there is no doubt that as much as the President of Narendra Modi and the Bangladeshi who are in the face of the President of Narendra Modi,

19:24who have stood in the face of the President of Narendra Modi,

19:27who have stood in the face of the President of Narendra Modi,

19:32if anyone has done to give them all,

19:35who have any need,

19:37then that is, Manta Modi, you are.

19:40Thank you very much.

19:42If you have any questions, please ask us.

19:44When we look in the face of the President of Narendra Modi,

19:49Please

20:09All of us, when we are watching in the world, we will think of which ones left behind us.

20:21So you all know what Sanjay Raut and Samna today is, what is the existence of it and what it is written to you, so I don't think I would like to comment on it.

20:39Right, so that's Amit Batra, BJP MP. This is an all-out attack against the UPA, saying Congress Netas are being gagged from speaking the truth and specifically targeting Sonia Gandhi, former UPA chairperson. Let's listen in.

21:09It is a church that is happening in that moment in our country. Tell me, in any other country, there is a church that is going on.

21:17That is how many of you have gone on. Tell me about how many of you have gone on.

21:21This is our opposition party and the opposition party Congress.

21:26Every time, every time, the question that Pakistan is always asking. Pakistan is not asking so many of you.

21:32As they ask, why do you ask?

21:34And remember, when the press conference was running, when the press conference was running, now it was on.

21:40But when the press conference was running, when the press conference was running, the response was running, who was running?

21:53It was Rahul Gandhi's running.

21:56See, our hero Rahul Ji what is saying? Rahul is so good.

22:00He was standing in the back of his speech, and his opinion was running.

22:03He was running.

22:04He was running.

22:05He was running.

22:06He was running.

22:07So, we didn't know that they all met.

22:10And tomorrow, tomorrow, you see, tomorrow, the press conference was running.

22:16He said that in Kiev, Modi Ji, the proxie of China and Pakistan are having on their proxy.

22:24And today John Spencer has written that the Chinese proxy weapon that the Bharatwarsh

22:33has given them in what kind of behavior is in today's news.

22:37But let me explain.

22:39Remember, multiple-layered attacks targeting the Congress former government, UPA regime.

22:46Piyush Mishra is joining me for the latest on that.

22:49Piyush, why do you think Sambit Patra is organizing and holding this press conference?

22:54Because I see that via Operation Sindur, it's also a targeting of the Congress leaders, Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi specifically.

23:03Well, certainly Pooja. And what is more interesting here is that it's the first of its kind of big press conference coming in from BJP.

23:10So far, BJP was not hitting back at Congress party and they were maintaining silence.

23:16But this time, you know, Sambit Patra, senior leader and the national spokesperson of BJP has come out and has questioned the intention of Congress party.

23:25We are now seeing as to how he is saying that the comments, those have been made by Rahul Gandhi, Rehman Tretti, they are now being used in Pakistan.

23:33Rahul Gandhi had also asked for the evidence from the government.

23:37In fact, he had gone on to say that how much loss we have had, how many jets of Indian side were down by Pakistan.

23:44We should have details of all these things.

23:48Yesterday, Rehman Tretti, who was there attending a program of the Congress party, he gone on to say that had Rahul Gandhi been the prime minister of POK would have been occupied.

23:57And what about our loss?

24:00So these are the questions which the Congress party has been asking for the last many, many times.

24:04But this time BJP has now hit back hard and is now saying that these comments those are being made by Congress leaders are being used by Pakistan.

24:13Stay on with me, Congress leader Udhut Raj is joining me on the phone line this morning.

24:18Mr. Udhut Raj, strong statements have been made by Shambit Patra saying that during UPA time, terrorists were invited to the PMO.

24:26Sonia Gandhi cried over the bodies of terrorists. Today, look how we have taken on the terrorists.

24:32See, what happened is that the betrayal by the current minister that informed the Pakistan army before the strike.

24:51And that risked our army. Why are you not giving an explanation about that?

24:59And we are to answer. They are not to answer. Why prime minister is not coming forward and refute what Trump has been claiming?

25:14And yesterday, a couple of days back in American court, the Trump administration has reiterated that by threatening India and Pakistan,

25:29the Trump administration, the Trump administration, the Trump administration.

25:32So why should we answer them? Why can't they answer?

25:37No, but don't you think government has clarified?

25:41What happened in American court? The prime minister has not answered. He should refute then we will speak.

25:48We are not to run your agenda. And we are not to react. They should also react. What we are asking from them, why are you not giving the clarification?

25:58And then we will be talking to answering them.

26:03You think, yes.

26:04They are not to hear me to answer them. And we ask the question, they don't answer. That is not fair on part of media also. Thank you so much.

26:13Uddit Raji, media is being abused for simply asking a question and for an answer. That's Uddit Raj saying Prime Minister Modi is not answering that it is Trump pressure.

26:25The Trump threat that Trump's claims have said that because of the trade threat that the ceasefire was achieved.

26:30So basically, just to give you a background, Shambit Patra is organizing this press conference because Telangana Chief Minister Rivant Reddin the latest has said opposition parties not consulted before the truce.

26:40How many fighter jets are down with regard to India? We are not being told about a lot of statements that have come in and that opposition is not being consulted.

26:48Shambit Patra says there was a time when terrorists were invited to the PMO.

26:53And he's referring to when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was at the helm of affairs. Sonia Gandhi was the UPA chairperson.

27:00And he's suggesting now when Congress leaders are trying to speak, they are being gagged.

27:05Let's try and understand more on this. We have another Congress perspective.

27:08Senior leader, Member of Parliament, Manikam Tagore is joining me on the phone line.

27:12Mr. Manikam Tagore, good morning.

27:14You tell me when Shambit Patra says that at a time when terrorists were invited to the PMO once during the UPA government,

27:21Sonia Gandhi cried over the bodies of terrorists. Look how we are taking on the terrorists today.

27:26What would you say to that?

27:28It's a laugh at him, his ignorance, his lies, his RSS training that he can lie anything, whatever he wants.

27:36And the media will also discuss about it. That's the prettiness of our society now.

27:40And we are in that stage where the BGP spokesperson can completely keep on lying.

27:46And we have a debate on that.

27:48It is very unfortunate that Shambit Patra, like Member of Parliament,

27:53before being a Member of Parliament, he was lying and now also is lying.

27:58These lie stories must end.

28:01We all know that surgical strikes happened in 2000, 2003, 2006, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2013.

28:10And 2016 was this time when they sold that strike.

28:13Therefore, we need to understand that nobody has sold armies' victories outside like Mr. Modi did it.

28:22And now, and Segelgram, whose failure was Segelgram.

28:27It was Anisha's failure.

28:28And when it happened, we are not questioning that thing.

28:31We asked the government to react and take a strong action in the all-party meeting.

28:36We stood with the government.

28:38And when Operation Sindhu started, we supported wholeheartedly.

28:43We had across India Jai Hind Yatra to support it.

28:47We were not politicizing it.

28:49On 10th, when Mr. Trump announced in his Twitter handle that this virus is done,

28:55and he has spoken to Pakistan and India.

28:58He made Pakistan as worse than India.

29:00And completely we were shattered.

29:02Millions of Indian folks were shattered that we are not able to take revenge on those terrorists who hit us and run away.

29:09And what they are speaking, they are not ready to answer about it.

29:14And then came the statement of the external affairs minister, Mr. Jayashankar,

29:19saying that we are informed that Pakistan is before this strike.

29:22That was unacceptable to us.

29:25You are not convinced with the clarifications that have come on that, Madhikam Tagore,

29:29that have come in from the government, from the armed forces, that DGMO-level talks have happened?

29:34Many questions have to be answered.

29:37Many questions.

29:38Because the external affairs minister, Mr. Jayashankar, has made a statement in the television,

29:45in your channel also, you run that story, that we have informed Pakistanis.

29:50Who has informed it?

29:51He has to be very specific.

29:53When they have informed it, that is not…

29:55Then they put army in front of it to save their skin.

29:58The problem with this administration is that they bring army and air force thieves whenever they want it.

30:05And they insult Safiya Kureti like army officers.

30:11And there is no action as that minister.

30:13What Mr. Modi, what Mr. Amrit, Pratra is going to speak about it?

30:16Mr. Tagore, I just want to add something here, because I let you speak,

30:21and you have every right to charge at the government, but because you also charge at the media.

30:26I just want to remind you that in 2006, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had met terrorists like Yasin Malik,

30:33other Kashmiri separatist leaders.

30:35There are images of that.

30:36So there was a time when the government, perhaps in all kindness,

30:40thought that reaching out to the terrorists would prove fruitful.

30:43It did not.

30:44We got 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

30:46But I'll let you speak also now next on, how do you think now the BJP is pushing this ahead?

30:51Do you think Rewanth Reddy is correct to ask about how many jets down,

30:55while we have the narrative warfare that's happening right on the global stage,

30:59in which Congress leaders are present?

31:01Do you think at this juncture, asking about Indian losses or Indian fighter jets,

31:06which government has said hasn't happened, is a fair call?

31:09Rewanth Reddy, the operation Sindhu is over, and Mr Modi is on a campaign trail.

31:14He has gone to yesterday, you might have noticed, I suppose, that he has gone to Bengal,

31:18he has gone to Bihar, and he has spoken about the UN operation Bengal also.

31:22Therefore, that operation Sindhu is over, and when the statement from Mr Jaisankar came that we had informed the Pakistanis,

31:31then the leader of the opposition asked that the external affairs minister must explain who is responsible for jets which has fallen.

31:40Therefore, Rewanth Reddy is asking a genuine question, for that only we want the parliament to be convened.

31:45We want the special session to be convened, to debate about these issues.

31:50Why are we not ready to do it?

31:52We are already on a mode to divert with the help of the media, attention of people, because they had some...

31:59Mr Madhikam Tagore, I have given you all the time to speak, and you are still reiterating against media, charging at the media.

32:06We are only quoting and expecting a response from you, but thank you very much for speaking to India today,

32:11for your views and perspective, but this is what the BJP has done.

32:14So, we are putting out now what Talangala Chief Minister, Senior Leader of the Congress Party, Rewanth Reddy has to say,

32:21and that led to a press conference from the BJP. Let's listen in.

32:26The

32:28of the

32:29lovely

32:31it

32:37the

32:38普

32:42the

32:45the

32:47so will there be a special parliament session will the government respond more to the congress

33:06leaders or like they have dismissed right now about how the congress party deliberately asking

33:11misleading questions is what the government of the bgb leaders are saying meanwhile prime minister

33:16modi is on a four state tour he's in bihar presently he was in bengal earlier he'll be heading to uttar

33:22pradesh and specifically kanpur why kanpur because one of the first victims of the behelga massacre

33:29was a family from kanpur on the outskirts victim shubham dhuvedi was the first victim who was shot

33:37at point blank range in front of his wife after he was asked if he's a hindu or a muslim when he said

33:43he's a hindu he was shot dead and then it followed the death of or murder of about 25 innocent

33:49individuals key highlights meanwhile coming in with regard to that visit that's scheduled we are told

33:55that at kanpur shakiri air force station prime minister modi will meet the family members let's take a look

34:00at this ground report coming in so amid the four state tour this is going to be as much a focus for

34:06prime minister modi

34:13इसी तरीक के पोस्टर पूरे श्षेहर में लगाएंगे और बुरे आजवर्षेज के दीचक्त इस तरीकी के पोस्टर श्यातन करेंगे यहां

34:55This is the one that you will see in the army.

35:25operation per kya kehna hai. Video journalist Shubham Shukla ke saath se Mar Chawla Kanpur

35:29aaj tak.

35:55What is your first reaction? The air strikes have been conducted by the government. Are you satisfied?

36:02I am satisfied and the moment I read this the operation name, Sillur, I went and I saw Shubham's

36:10photo and I was crying because it is actually a very personal sign.

36:16I remember interviewing you a few days back and you said that the action is not enough.

36:37Do you think it's enough now?

36:40At that time also I said that Aatangwad should be done. Wherever you are, wherever you are,

36:46wherever you are, wherever you are, wherever you are.

36:49I was not sure, but not anywhere. I was a Aatangwad should be done.

36:52They targeted the nine Aatangwadi spots.

36:57The nine Aatangwadi spots that you are taking training, you are getting new, you are getting

37:04done, I am really thankful. Thank you so much.

37:08Terrorists told you after killing Shubham that go and tell your government that we did this.

37:13Now the government has taken a step. How do you see this?

37:16I feel really proud to be an Indian. I am really proud that I will tell someone to tell someone

37:23that I am a Hindu.

37:31Moving across now to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. He is meeting the Armed Forces personnel

37:35and on the INS Vikrant.

37:37Remember, this is a consistent series by our leadership to also put forth a message that

37:43they stand with the Armed Forces but also acknowledging their precise strikes.

37:48And of course, INS Vikrant, remember, in the past few days consistently has been in mention

37:55how Pakistan knew about what this indigenous warship is fully capable of.

38:01Shivani Sharma is joining me for the latest on that.

38:05Shivani, why do you think this visit has come in with regards to the Indian Navy?

38:10And of course, INS Vikrant, even the manner in which it started to move.

38:15And we know how Pakistan was very closely tracking what INS Vikrant is going to do.

38:20Pooja, this is a very significant visit by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

38:24Remember, after Operation Sindur, he has already met the men on ground.

38:29He has met in the Badami Bank, the Canton Srinagar, the personnel who were involved in the Operation Sindur.

38:35He also met at Bhuja Air Force Station, the airmen, the personnel of the Indian Air Force.

38:40But this is the first time when he's meeting the naval personnel and that to aboard INS Vikrant.

38:46That happens to be India's first indigenous aircraft carrier.

38:49And that was deployed during Operation Sindur.

38:52It was an aggressive positioning that was being done by the Indian Navy in the Arabian Sea,

38:57in the Northern Arabian Sea, in fact, when the Operation Sindur strikes were happening.

39:01And not only this Pooja, he will be meeting and greeting and giving out that message of gratitude to all those naval personnel on board INS Vikrant.

39:13This is a very important visit in terms of posturing and showing that how our maritime strength is also enhancing each day.

39:22Indian Navy happens to be one of the best navies in the world, Pooja.

39:26And here, when Operation Sindur was being conducted, there were missile systems that were deployed on these warships and more than 29 warships along with the INS Vikrant.

39:38And INS Vikrant's forward deployment as well in the Arabian Sea this time was clearly reflective of possibly what our naval power, naval forces are clearly capable of.

39:47And in many ways, this is Air Force, Navy or the Indian Army.

39:51This was a synergy, remember, that we saw during Operation Sindur.

39:54And compared to Pakistan, India's naval power is, of course, way more strengthened with INS Vikrant's entry as well into our naval forces.

40:03It is only added on to that. So you're looking at the visual of the INS Vikrant.

40:06And when I mentioned about the forward deployment, remember, it's not just about INS Vikrant.

40:10In many ways, it's the leader, the leader with other warships as well.

40:14And in the Arabian Sea, when it started to move and started to get close to the Karachi port, Pakistan clearly had panicked.

40:21Because we have seen, whether it's in 1971 or right now, that India's naval power, naval ship have proven to be definitely one of the big success.

40:31Now, remember, of course, there are much more capabilities that could have been used in Operation Sindur till the ceasefire was understood to have happened.

40:40But at this juncture, like we heard the chief and the senior officers of the Indian Navy, Pakistan knows fairly well that Indian Navy dominates in the maritime security and will respond as and when it could be needed.

40:53So that's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, ensuring that whether Army, Air Force or the Navy, he'll be there with them.

41:00This is important, remember. This isn't about any sort of boasting as much as looking united and together.

41:06There has to be a synergy between the political will and the Indian Armed Forces.

41:10And that's what we saw during Operation Sindur.

41:12I can't help reiterate this enough. Always remember that despite the anger and the outrage over the Pahlgaab massacre,

41:19the Indian Armed Forces, when it responded, it responded with precision.

41:23It targeted where it hurts Pakistan, which was first the terror targets, Bahawal Par Mureed Ke POJK,

41:28and then the military targets, some of the most prominent bases, whether it was Rahimiya Khan based, Noor Khan based,

41:34or other bases even in Mureed. But it was also to ensure that unlike Pakistan sponsored terrorists,

41:41we will not hit Pakistani civilians. At least that's the kind of professionalism even now,

41:46Indian government and the Armed Forces decided to go ahead with.

41:49So this is clearly a cultural civilizational ethos, but it's a reminder to Pakistan that if it's not going to mend its ways,

41:56our armed forces are always on alert, always on standby.

41:59So that's INS Vikrant visuals that are coming in where Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh presently is there.

42:05Remember, inducted in the Navy in barely about a few years ago,

42:08about 20,000 crore rupees was primarily what the cost has been for INS Vikrant,

42:14but it has added massive strength to our naval forces.

42:17It's in-house and remember, because it is indigenous in nature,

42:20that is a matter of pride as in Atmanirbhar Bharat.

42:24The warship built by the Kochi Shipyard Limited and of course other Indian organizations as well.

42:30It's a 45,000 ton aircraft carrier.

42:33Indigenous content here is primarily about over 70%, about 76%.

42:38So that's adding on to how more and more of these, whether we are building it,

42:43assembling it, is predominantly Indian.

42:46But at this juncture, remember, like I have mentioned during Operation Sindur,

42:50when the INS Vikrant had started to move, heading closer to the Karachi port,

42:55that's where we are told according to our sources from the armed forces,

42:58there was a complete panic in Pakistan.

43:00But at this juncture, remember, it's not only about targeting warships,

43:04we have fighter aircrafts, we have missiles from INS Vikrant that can make a precise hit.

43:11Shivani joins me for the latest on that.

43:15Shivani, tell me more about this image that you see on your screen.

43:19A very clear view of the INS Vikrant.

43:22And again, a reminder, whether it's an air base or an army base or a Navy base,

43:27it's all functional.

43:30Pooja, if we talk about INS Vikrant that was commissioned into the Indian Navy in 2022

43:35on 1st of September by Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself.

43:39And that time, it was very clear that INS Vikrant is the pride of the nation,

43:43that is the indigenous aircraft carrier of the country,

43:47with most advanced features.

43:50And this, remember in Operation Sindur was functional

43:53and it was deployed in the Northern Arabian Sea.

43:56And not alone, Pooja, this was the whole carrier group,

43:59along with its aircraft on board, along with the submarines there,

44:04along with the Barak missiles, the BrahMos missiles,

44:07and all those missile and weapon systems that were quite capable of any kind of attempt

44:14they would have done.

44:15Because, you know, Pakistan was actually quite scared of the movements of our Indian Navy

44:20close to the Karachi port and in that region.

44:23Because when the Indian Armed Forces, the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force,

44:28they were striking inside the territory of Pakistan on those terror camps.

44:32The Navy was also very much deployed in an aggressive positioning in the sea,

44:37because that was important, Pooja, to track down the terror activities inside Pakistan.

44:42It was a combined effort.

44:44It was an integrated effort.

44:45And we know that the Defence Minister has already met the heroes on ground,

44:49the men in uniform of the Air Force in Air Force Station, Srinagar, as well as Bhuja.

44:54He met the personnel of the Indian Army in Srinagar.

44:57But this is for the first time when he is meeting the naval personnel,

45:01the guardians of the sea.

45:03And this is very important because yesterday also when he was speaking in Goa,

45:07when welcoming INS Tarini, he had said that how in Operation Sindur,

45:13India has not only thwarted all the attempts of Pakistan,

45:17but it has given a very strong and stern message that if you will attempt any act of terror,

45:23we will go deep inside your territory.

45:25And that shows the capabilities of Atmanirbhar forces of the nation.

45:31And when we talk about Atmanirbhar and indigenization,

45:34the INS Vikrant is one of the biggest examples, Pooja.

45:38It has been made in India.

45:40It has that confidence and capability of one of the world's best warships.

45:45And this carrier group, the whole battle group was deployed in the Arabian Sea

45:51when Operation Sindur was happening with all its assets,

45:54including the aircraft, the Posidion for surveillance of missile systems.

45:58So that deterrence that was forced, that was created by INS Vikrant.

46:03And Shivani, yes, like you are telling us, as we look at this picture,

46:07I can't help but remind the viewer that, remember,

46:10we may not know the names of these soldiers, Army, Air Force or Navy.

46:14We may not know a lot of details yet of Operation Sindur,

46:17but it's a reminder that these men and women in uniform with a political will

46:22and that synergy is keeping us safe despite the attacks.

46:26Shivani, stay on with me.

46:27As we look at these visuals that are coming in,

46:30that we'll continue to track the latest on the image on our screens as well

46:35from the Indian Navy that has come in.

46:38Shivani, if you can hear me,

46:40at this juncture when we look at Indian Navy's role,

46:43and this is just because I know that you've been tracking all the details,

46:47that Air Force's offensive power was the big strength,

46:50then came in the Indian Army, the Border Security Force, and of course other forces as well.

46:55Many were wondering if Indian Navy's role, to the extent it was in the Operation Sindur.

47:03Tell us more about that.

47:05When we talk about the role of Indian Navy in Operation Sindur, we must tell our viewer,

47:10and we've been reporting about it, that there were almost more than two dozen assets,

47:14including the warships, the submarines, the aerial assets of the Indian Navy that were deployed,

47:19that forsturing that was being done in the Arabian Sea that was keeping Pakistan and its Navy especially under control

47:26when the Indian Air Force and the Indian Army were striking on those terror camps.

47:31And when we talk about the Indian Navy, it has been excelling in the defense diplomacy domain

47:37with the maritime exercise that it has been conducting with a number of navies of the world in the Indian Ocean region

47:45as well as internationally in the seas.

47:48So Indian Navy is moving ahead in its capabilities,

47:51and one of the services that is using most indigenous platforms and weapons systems, Pooja,

47:58it has a vision and an aim of becoming 100% Atmanirbar by 2047.

48:04That's what we've been hearing and the statements that have been coming in from the Navy Chief

48:08as well as the other officials of the Indian Navy.

48:11So the INS Vikrant happens to be the one trendsetter where it was aggressively positioned in the Arabian Sea

48:20when Operation Sindur was happening.

48:22And it continues to sail in the Arabian Sea where we can see

48:25Defense Minister Rajnath Singh aboard the INS Vikrant.

48:28He's interacting with the officials of the Indian Navy

48:30because this is the first time when he's interacting with the heroes of the Indian Navy

48:35who were involved in Operation Sindur Pooja on board the INS Vikrant.

48:40He's congratulating them. He's sharing experiences with them.

48:43And it's important also as much for our politicians to know more and more details

48:48and about the operation functioning as well and the strength of the Armed Forces.

48:52So good that he's on the ground and has done that in the past few days as well.

48:55Thank you very much, Shivani. I'm leaving you with these visuals.

48:58This morning, Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh is on board the INS Vikrant meeting

49:04personnel from the Armed Forces.

49:06Of course, we can see the Navy's senior most officers as well there on the ground.
