00:00The Ministry of External Affairs hails U.S. labelling the resistance front, the TRF, as a terror organization.
00:08MEA has now issued a statement on designation of the resistance front by the United States Department of State.
00:15The Government of India welcomes the decision of the United States Department to designate the resistance front, the TRF, as a foreign terror organization, FTO,
00:27and as a specially designated global terrorist.
00:31We acknowledge and appreciate the leadership of Secretary of State Mr. Marco Rubio in this regard says India.
00:38The TRF, a proxy as we know of the Pakistan-based terror organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, has been involved in numerous terror-related activities,
00:47including the heinous attack on civilians in Pehalgaan, Jammu and Kashmir on the 22nd of April, for which it twice claimed responsibility.
00:57Pranay Apathe is getting in more details.
00:59India Pranay has repeatedly, consistently spoken about the role of the TRF, an offshoot of the Lashkar, which Pakistan has repeatedly dismissed.
01:09This is acknowledgement of what we've been saying for the longest time, isn't it?
01:13More so after the Pehalgaan attacks.
01:15You're absolutely right, this is actually a vindication and validation of what India has been saying and trying to expose the role of Pakistan and Pakistan-based terror outfit.
01:25This is an acknowledgement of India's effort and not only the India's effort, but also the kind of theft the terror outfit posed.
01:34Because the very fact that the designation of TRF, which is an offshoot of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, by the United States government as a foreign terrorist organization and as a specially designated terror outfit,
01:47this clearly shows that the U.S. also feels that this terror outfit, this organization poses a threat to U.S. national, to the U.S. national interest and the U.S. economic interest and especially the interest of the U.S. foreign policy.
02:00So this designation, which was actually coordinated by the two U.S. departments, Department of Tragedy, Department of Tragedy Justice and the Department of the State.
02:10So the State Department has issued the press release and also the statement released by Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, clearly marks the efforts made by India and the validation and vindication of India's standpoint.
02:23And also, this exposes the Pakistani propaganda. Pakistan has been telling the world that, you know, how they do not have any role.
02:32But now the United States, you know, after having observed the fact, after having, you know, they have undergone their own investigation in this case,
02:40because the designation itself is a very cumbersome process. It involves, like, a lot of evaluation, a lot of vetting is done.
02:48And after that, they have decided to designate it. But having said that, there is an important issue here that really designation does not, you know, curb or put an end to these terror organizations.
03:03Now, what entails is the further procedure, the designation of PRF in the United Nations Security Council as a terror outfit,
03:11because India's application, India's procedure is still pending there in UNFC, which was initiated in 2023.
03:18We expect the United States government to help in that procedure as well.
03:22Also, in the FATF, because the special designation of a terrorist organization also entails action within the international platform,
03:30especially the FATF, which is a monitoring institution, the UN monitoring institution for the terror financing.
03:38So, these are the important things which we are now, like, you know, we would be looking at.
03:42And also, we also would be looking at a concrete action by the U.S. government, especially in putting pressure on Pakistan to put an end to these terror outfits
03:52and take concrete action, because this action is long pending. This action is pending since 2008.
03:58The FATF has already been designated as a terrorist organization in the U.S. record.
04:03And now, we expect, after the designation of TRF, which is an offshoot of LEP, as a foreign terrorist organization,
04:11the U.S. government and the front administration is expected to put pressure on Pakistan if they want to show that they are serious in counter-terrorism.
04:18But definitely, this is a big diplomatic victory as well, and also a very robust example of India-U.S. counter-terrorism cooperation.
04:27All right, I'm going to leave it at that for the moment.
04:30Pranayapa, they're getting in those details.
04:32Undoubtedly, a big, big diplomatic win for India as far as pushing forward the, in fact, the acknowledgement
04:40and to accept TRF as a terror organization which has now been designated.
04:46It's a proxy of the Lashkar, which Pakistan had been denying for the longest time.
04:53A huge diplomatic victory for us in our global outreach on Operation Sindhur,
04:59with U.S. designating the resistance run to TRF as a foreign terrorist organization
05:05for its involvement in the Pahlgaam attack in Kashmir.
05:08United States has officially designated TRF, a known offshoot of Pakistan's Lashkar,
05:15as a foreign terror organization, an especially designated global terror organization
05:21following the Pahlgaam terror attack that killed 26 people.
05:24The U.S. officials described the attack as the deadliest terrorist strike on civilians in India since 2008,
05:31Mumbai attacks carried out by the LAT.
05:34U.S. reaffirmed its strong support for India's fight against terrorism.
05:39External Affairs Minister S.J. Shankar welcomed the move by U.S. and reiterated India's zero tolerance on terror.
05:46However, the move by U.S. is seen as a double speak by many.
05:50It was just a month ago that Trump posted Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir at the White House over lunch.
05:56India today spoke to John Spencer, U.S. warfare expert and U.S. designating TRF as a global terror organization.
06:10Here's what he said.
06:11Very firstly, my question to you would be, it is a big diplomatic win for India.
06:18There is no denying that.
06:20The timing of this very decision that's been taken and been declared by the United States and how we are looking at it,
06:27both from the United States, the perspectives of the United States, why this decision has been taken,
06:32and for India as well, how are we looking at it?
06:36Yeah, one, I'm extremely happy to see this, to include the full explanation under the Foreign Terrorist Organization and Global Terrorist designation.
06:47It's not ceremonial. It's very important.
06:50It unleashes the power of the world's only superpower against not just TRF, but anybody associated with them.
06:58It doesn't matter if they're a Pakistani propagandist, a drone supplier.
07:04They'll face travel bans. They'll face asset seizure. They'll face criminal charges.
07:09It's massive, and it shows that President Trump stands with India against terrorism launched on his soul,
07:17designating not just TRF, but recognizing Lashkar-Taba, which we know is a Pakistan ISI-backed formation,
07:25that this is a huge shift and a very important step to unleash our capability against this terror proxy,
07:32and that we are living in a new world.
07:34Absolutely. And, you know, when we speak of cross-border terrorism, especially post the Pahlkam attack,
07:42India has always been very clear, with its no tolerance towards terrorism stance.
07:47It has been clear over the years, but especially after the Pahlkam attack,
07:50we had a big outreach, global outreach program as well for Operation Sindur,
07:55and now this particular decision coming in the light, in the context of all of these developments,
08:01it's a big win for India as well. Would you not say that?
08:06Absolutely. I mean, India doesn't, I mean, had a massive win by its domination in Operation Sindur,
08:12its change of its strategic policy, although, like you said, it's had this policy,
08:15but to respond immediately to any terror attack is something new,
08:20and also the leadership that India has shown.
08:22Hopefully, we see this following to the United Nations.
08:25The United States has a new ambassador to the United Nations.
08:28Hopefully, that gets secured. Mike Waltz, who hopefully will continue this line,
08:33but absolutely important for India as well, as in this is a new India in its treatment towards its terrorism,
08:40but hopefully this will signal a global stance as well.
08:43While Union Minister, Home Minister, Amit Shah, while addressing a public rally in Jaipur,
08:52hailed the Prime Minister over Operation Sindur.
08:55He said that Prime Minister Modi had sent across a strong message to the world condemning terror,
09:00emphasising that Indians' defence forces and borders are not to be messed around with.
09:06He said there would be consequences.
09:08He's also said that the Prime Minister had done the most significant work by securing our country.
09:12He said there would be consequences.
09:42That the Prime Minister have done it,
09:46the No
10:00has been worked hard to do it.
10:00We have some news just coming in at this point in time.
10:15It's a big revelation and a story that we are tracking closely in the Uttar Pradesh conversion dream.
10:21Shanggur Baba was plotting to set up a terror camp in a building built with foreign funds.
10:26Shanggur, accused of conversion, also received foreign funding.
10:30Through which Jamaluddin bought a showroom, a luxurious bungalow, cars like a Fortuna car and a Cretta.
10:37Jamaluddin was plotting to use a large building as a terror camp as well.
10:41This building was built with foreign funds is what we are learning.
10:49The terror angle as well to the nefarious activities of Shanggur Baba,
10:54who has been accused of converting young Hindu women to Islam.
11:00It's functioning from Balrampur.
11:02And now there is a terror camp angle as well, as far as the investigations in this case is concerned.
11:08This has got to do with the Uttar Pradesh conversion dream.
11:11They also, in fact, set up a building which was built with foreign funds,
11:16planning to use this as a physical space to set up as a terror camp.
11:21Shanggur, accused of conversion, received foreign funding through which Jamaluddin bought a showroom
11:29and also several luxurious vehicles is what we are learning.
11:32I am going to go straight across to Arvind Hoja for more details.
11:35Arvind, this poor conversion model is now a terror angle.
11:38Is it a terror camp, the Uttar Pradesh?
11:40Yes, absolutely.
11:40So, we are talking about this.
11:41The Uttar Pradesh, the anti-terror squad, has been separated by FIR separately lodged.
11:47It has been discovered by the UPS.
11:50The UPS has has been told that now,
11:57and he bought some property and luxury cars, and one building was planning to create a terror camp.
12:09It was still the first stage that opened.
12:13So this is a good deal in your own mind.
12:16In UPSFIR, there are some big problems.
12:20This is the next step after the religious conversion.
12:26He was planning to open a terror camp in a building.
12:30UPATS has also identified that building.
12:34Now, Jamaluddinov is going to take ED in custody,
12:39because ED has registered a money laundering case.
12:42And yesterday, it was rated in 14 premises.
12:46So, this opens up a lot, that after the religious conversion,
12:51the next step of Jamaluddin was to set up a terror camp.
12:56Thank you for joining us.
12:59As far as this big revelation here is concerned,
13:01it's Shanggur plotting to set up a terror camp that Arvind is telling us about,
13:05first accused of conversion,
13:07and now plotting to use the building that they had built up
13:10with the use, with the help of foreign funds for the terror activities,
13:14is what Arvind is telling us about.
13:20Moving on, Justice Yashvan Varma, who has been accused of corruption
13:24and is facing removal of a scandal involving burnt cash in his bungalow,
13:30approached the Apex Court in the Cash Hall case.
13:33Justice Varma has sought to invalidate a report by an in-house inquiry panel
13:38that found strong evidence of his active control over the cash.
13:42Varma has also sought to quash the May 8th recommendation
13:46by then Chief Justice of India, Sanjeev Khanna, urging Parliament to initiate his impeachment.
13:51The judge contended that the recommendation was based on an unsustainable report,
13:56prepared through a process that ran completely roughshod over his rights as a constitutional functionary and an individual.
14:05The petition comes just ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament that begins next week,
14:10and which will see the government begin the process of impeaching the judge here.
14:15Anisha is getting in more details.
14:17Anisha, legal recourse is what Justice Varma is now seeking.
14:21Talk to us about, you know, what are the options really before him,
14:24given that the monsoon session of Parliament is approaching,
14:27and we would in all likelihood be seeing the proceedings of impeachment there, isn't it?
14:33Well, Sneha, we'll have to see how this pans out now.
14:36This petition has been filed before the Supreme Court.
14:39From what we're hearing from our sources, this petition was filed sometime late last evening.
14:44And what Yashwan Justice Varma is arguing in this is that the in-house procedure against him was completely invalid,
14:52that the inquiry, the manner of the inquiry violated constitutional principles.
14:58He has also said that the investigation was based on unverified information,
15:05and he was now given a chance to cross-examine the witnesses or investigate or examine the evidence that is against him.
15:13In addition, he's also raised the question of media trial,
15:17and could the Supreme Court administration have made the inquiry report public with the details as it did,
15:24without giving him a chance to examine the evidence in the first place.
15:28So we'll have to see how this pans out in the court.
15:31Because remember, these allegations have raised a lot of questions about both the conduct of Justice Varma
15:39and how things are being done in the judiciary.
15:41The question of the in-house committee has also been hotly debated
15:46across both in society and in the judicial corridors.
15:50And we'll have to see how this will pan out.
15:53We are getting into the process that multiple civil lawyers would be appearing on behalf of Justice Varma.
16:01If the Supreme Court will take up this matter, how the court will take up this matter,
16:05all of that is something we'll have to wait and see.
16:08But with the monsoon session coming up, as you just rightly said, time is running short.
16:13If the government is able to put together the numbers that it needs to move an impeachment motion,
16:19that will also take some time.
16:21Please remember that impeachment is not something that happens immediately.
16:26The removal proceedings require a motion in the parliament.
16:30Then after that it requires an inquiry.
16:32After that is the vote on the inquiry itself.
16:36So that will also take some time.
16:39Let's make it back to you.
16:40Right, I'm going to leave that for the moment.
16:41Anisha Mathur getting in those details.
16:43He says his rights have been infringed.
16:45This is Justice Varma.
16:47In connection with the case against him.
16:50Remember, an inquiry had, in fact, revealed that he indeed was in the wrong
16:54and that he did have control over the burnt cash that was found at his residence,
16:59which was found accidentally, remember, at his residence.
17:02And there was a fire and fire-dowsing.
17:05Officials had found, in fact, burnt cash, a pile of cash seen on your screens,
17:10after which an inquiry was initiated.
17:13He says his rights have been infringed upon, even as we know that there would be a possibility
17:20of him getting impeached in the upcoming monsoon session of parliament.
17:26Damming Cash Hall report, Justice Varma's misconduct has been proven.
17:33The recommendation is that remove this judge.
17:36Also, remember, the cash was found in the storeroom of the official residence of Justice Varma.
17:42Storeroom under Judge and Families Control.
17:45Evidence is that burnt cash was removed on the 15th of March.
17:49Charges against the Judge Varma have now been upheld.
17:53The misconduct has been proven and the removal has been recommended.
17:57Findings based on direct and digital evidence.
18:00The conduct of the judge lapse undermines public trust.
18:04This is what the Supreme Court panel looking into this case has said.
18:08More news coming in, war over eviction drive in Assam.
18:20Khadage Rahul say will send Himanta Bispa Sarma to jail.
18:23The chief minister, Himanta Bispa Sarma, has dead.
18:27If Gandhi and Khadage found guilty of inciting violence against the eviction drive,
18:32the police will take action is what the chief minister has said.
18:39Police have registered a case.
18:44We will see who are the people directly and indirectly responsible for this incident.
18:51Police will definitely also go through the species made by Rahul Gandhi and Mallika Arjun Khadage.
19:00And if we see that there are elements which will invite panel action,
19:06police will not hesitate to take action against Rahul Gandhi and Mallika Arjun Khadage.
19:13You know, Tapas is getting in more details of that story.
19:16Tapas, there has been a fair amount of violence in Assam after the eviction notice
19:20and after the process was being carried out.
19:22There are tensions and of course, there are politics brewing on this entire matter right now.
19:26Well, yes, absolutely.
19:30Because we had seen yesterday in Pai Country Reserve Forest how the violence unfolded
19:35and when the police officials and the forest officials went there to evict the illegal settlers,
19:40they came face to face and there was massive force exerted from both the sides
19:45and finally one person have sustained injury and who have succumbed to his injury
19:49and several other people, the settlers on one hand and also police person on the other hand sustained injury.
19:54It was a very, very volatile situation.
19:56But now, it has taken a political turn when the chief minister of Assam, Himanto Biswaswarma,
20:00have taken it on record, alleging that Rahul Gandhi's recent visit to Assam
20:04have somehow incited violence, not naming particularly the Pai Con incident.
20:09He has raised the kind of observations that Rahul Gandhi made accusing Himanto Biswaswarma
20:15to be behaving as a king and also favouring the industrialists and corporate
20:20and trying to snub the voices of the common people or the poor people.
20:25So, keeping that in mind, it's a political tug of war that's going on between the Congress and the BJP.
20:33And Himanto Biswaswarma also categorically stated that if it is found that Malik Arjun Kargay or Rahul Gandhi
20:39was directly or indirectly involved in these kinds of violence for inciting anger within the common people
20:46or illegal settlers, then legal action would be taken against him or them or the senior Congress leaders.
20:53It remains to be seen what Congress answers to these kinds of allegations made by Himanto Biswaswarma.
21:00But what my sources say, that Congress have taken it tough and this particular incident and several such incidents
21:06is going to be a key issue as far as 2026 elections in Assam are concerned.
21:10So, this is just the beginning, Shriya. We can expect more such political tug of war to come in days to arrive between the BJP and the Congress.
21:19Back to you.
21:20All right. Tapas, this is Sneha. This side, I'm going to thank you for getting in those details
21:24and telling us about the fact that this is an opportunity now for the BJP and the Congress to spar over a hot-button issue.
21:32This has got to do with an election drive which is now being carried out in the forest land in Golpada in Assam.
21:43It's a massive bomb threat to Delhi and Bengaluru schools.
21:48In Delhi, over 20 schools have received a bomb threat.
21:52In Bengaluru, 40 schools have got a bomb threat.
21:5660 schools across two metropolitan cities getting a bomb threat is what we're reporting on.
22:03Over 20 schools have received the bomb threat emails, says the Delhi Police.
22:07Bomb threat emails sent to 40 private schools in Bengaluru.
22:11This includes those in RR Nagar and Kangiri receiving a bomb threat early this morning.
22:18Police teams have rushed to the affected schools and are conducting thorough checks along with the bomb disposal squad.
22:25Investigations are underway to trace the source of the emails.
22:35Himanshu is joining us from Delhi for more details on that.
22:38And my colleague Nagarjun Dwarkanath is in Bengaluru for the very latest.
22:42I'm going to come to you first, Himanshu.
22:44This is the time that in Delhi, there are 20 schools where there are bomb threats.
22:49What are the investigations?
22:51What are the parents saying?
22:52What are the parents saying?
22:54What are the parents saying?
23:02What are the parents saying?
23:07. . . . .
23:37।
24:07This is the case.
24:37We will see that the school's boundary wall is a good way to get it.
24:47We have seen that if we talk about this, we will call some school, then we will call some school, then we will call some school, then we will call some school.
24:56We will call some school, then we will call some school, then we will call some school, then we will call some school.
25:17The worrying aspect of this is that you can't take any call lightly.
25:24Though most of them, all of them in the past, have turned out to be hoax calls, isn't it?
25:30Well, that's absolute tip to the email that the 40 odd schools in Bengaluru have received.
25:34Seems like someone who had a mental illness has written because that email speaks about
25:38I have kept bombs inside the classroom but also ensure that no medicines have affected me.
25:44I know I am going through a psychological trauma and no medicines have affected me, no psychiatrist could help me.
25:50You all deserve this. The moment bomb explodes, I will cut my wrist, I will cut myself, is what the email says.
25:56However, the police have rushed to the spot. Seems like it's a hoax call.
26:009.43 is when the email was received, is what we are told.
26:03In Raja Rajeshvi Nagar of Bengaluru area, in Bengaluru city and Kengiri area of Bengaluru city, the schools are located.
26:10Police have rushed to the spot. They have told the parents and the school authorities not to panic.
26:15It mostly seems like a hoax call because it clearly mentions that there are bombs kept inside the classroom but nothing such was found out as of now, Seneya.
26:26Alright, Nagarjun Dwarkanath, getting in those details from Bengaluru where 40 schools have received threat calls right now and the similar situation being reported from Delhi city as well, where 20 schools have been receiving these emails essentially.
26:43The police is in action and all the necessary steps have been taken to evacuate the children to ensure that this is taken seriously and also that no chances are being taken to ensure the safety of the children in both the cities and wherever these emails have been received.
27:02These are bomb threats that we are reporting on from Delhi city and from Bengaluru.
27:06Getting you more details on the MNS chief's double standards, which now stands exposed.
27:21Maharashtra Narva Nirman Sena, chief Raj Thakre is mum on the thagari that has been seen on the part of his workers, MNS workers for days together now.
27:32But lecturing on the clashes that have been seen in the assembly, Raj Thakre says what has happened to Maharashtra.
27:40Thakre's selective outrage over the violence, his workers go on a rampage, however he is absolutely mum about that, in fact he has encouraged it indirectly in the past as well.
27:51As far as the assembly in Maharashtra is concerned, it saw a fair amount of ruckus to which Raj Thakre says amusing rather what has happened to the state of Maharashtra.
28:02Remember there was ruckus that was seen in the assembly in the state of Maharashtra that Raj Thakre is talking about, however, the kind of show that has been put up by his own party workers, by MNS workers, going in a complete rampage in different parts of Mumbai is something that Raj Thakre chooses to not talk about or acknowledge.
28:27There have been clashes between BJP MLA and NCPS Sharadpavar faction leader. It was seen in the state of Maharashtra within the assembly.
28:38This is something that Raj Thakre is referring to.
28:42Vidya is getting in more details on that. Vidya, the selective outrage in the part here of Raj Thakre that we are seeing, isn't it?
28:48Well, you know, Raj Thakre has raised his voice with regards to the fact that there has been an incident of, you know, you generally don't see MLA's and their men actually fighting it out.
29:02So, you know, this fight has been happening in the, you know, Vidhan Sada premises and that's something that has shocked everyone.
29:09And that's one of the reasons why Raj Thakre is reacting to this saying that, you know, it will not be very surprising that people in the future will have, you know, murderers in the Vidhan Bhavan assuming this is now becoming the norm of beating up people.
29:23And, you know, why should people who are Maharashtra who speak Marathi, why should they fight amongst themselves is something that he is questioning also.
29:33Remember, he is, you know, that he has to address some people in, you know, Mira Road today, he will be, the entire incident over the Marathi language had taken place.
29:45So, probably with, you know, that angle as well, he has put out a social media post right now.
29:50All right, Vidya getting into those details, sending us about Raj Thakre's reaction to the tamasha that was seen in the Maharashtra Assembly overnight with his been high drama and ruckus in the Assembly where MLA Jitendra Awad and also a BJP MLA, Gopichand Padalkar, had clashed.
30:10Vidya, in fact, continues to be with us.
30:12Vidya, as far as the situation within the Assembly is concerned, talk to us about what's going on right now.
30:17Given that this tamasha carried on overnight as well, isn't it?
30:27Details are of what Raj Thakre has said in connection with the kind of tamasha that was seen and the protests that were seen in the Maharashtra Assembly.
30:35There was a ruckus between a BJP MLA and an NCP Sharadpawar faction MLA.
30:40They were the protesters demanding, in fact, the release of an activist there.
30:45It all started and it blew out, completely went, in fact, it blew out of proportion with them, with both of these leaders within the Assembly engaging in a war of words.
30:58Essentially, this is what Raj Thakre is referring to.
31:01But what we are telling you about is the kind of selective outrage in the part of Raj Thakre.
31:06Vidya is back with us.
31:09Vidya, as far as the situation in the Assembly is concerned, talk to us about what happened and how this, in fact, Mr. Masha carried out overnight as well.
31:19Of course, the video has since gone completely viral, isn't it?
31:21Well, you know, this entire incident really began on Wednesday with a very minor issue.
31:28It was nothing that should have really, you know, gone past anyone.
31:31But then just because someone had opened a door and the other party was hit by while the door was being opened up,
31:39that is the reason why what is being said, which escalated on Thursday between the two political parties,
31:47that is the BJP's Padalkar and, you know, the Ditendra Awad, Sharad Pawar faction leader, you know, who is from the NCP.
31:58Between these two factions, there was a fistfight that actually went viral.
32:03And of course, we did see that the police detained one of the Sharad Pawar faction leader, who is also an Awad worker.
32:11I mean, he was, Dilip Deshmukh was, you know, detained and that infuriated the Sharad Pawar faction leaders further.
32:18And we did see Awad, you know, stage a protest outside the Marine Drive police station yesterday.
32:24And also then he headed to Azad Maidan police station and then he went to the JJ hospital as well.
32:29So, you know, we did get to know that at the end, the person was only detained and he was later actually taken to the hospital
32:37because he was feeling unwell. Apparently, according to Awad, his man, Dilip Deshmukh, had been operated upon.
32:46And because he was assaulted, he was feeling the pain.
32:49And that led to entire, you know, incident of escalation of this entire issue.
32:55Okay. Be with us, Vidya. I'll come back to you.
32:58In fact, Krishna Hegre from the Shiv Sena is with us.
33:01Krishna Hegre, how do you respond to this selective outrage on the part of the MNS chief here?
33:05With Raj Chakri condemning and talking about what's happening within the Assembly.
33:10However, he seems to be absolutely okay with the Gunda Girdi that his party workers put up.
33:17See, first of all, let me tell you that all of us are condemning what happened in the Assembly,
33:23including the Honorable Chief Minister and he has directed the speakers of both the houses to take appropriate action.
33:30As the Vidhan Bhavan comes under the jurisdiction of both the speakers,
33:35that is, of the Vidhan Sabha and also of the Vidhan Parishan.
33:39And therefore, I'm sure that action will be taken against them.
33:42Also, senior ministers have spoken to both the factions,
33:46that is, the Gopinath Padalkar and the Jitendra Awad.
33:50They've spoken to both the leaders.
33:51Both, I think, Awad has spoken about it and Padalkar has himself apologised for the incident.
33:59Okay, understood.
34:00But what about Raj Chakri's selective outrage?
34:03Krishna Hegre?
34:05No, I don't think it is a selective outrage because I think everyone is upset with what has happened.
34:10However, regarding his own party workers,
34:12he has also said not to be provoked and take law into their own hands.
34:16And the state government is also very firm that if anyone takes law into their own hands,
34:21they will be dealt with severely.
34:23And wherever the complaint has been filed by those who have been,
34:27you know, a target of the attacks,
34:32the arrest has been made by the police.
34:34Okay, okay.
34:35So, it's not like the state government is keeping mum on anything.
34:39However, it is for Raj Chakri also to control his party workers eventually.
34:44But he does the opposite often.
34:46He's doing the opposite.
34:47No, he has already said in his speech the other day
34:52that you should not be provoked and take law into your own hands
34:55unless it is absolutely someone is provoking you.
34:59And I think for any agitation,
35:03for any agitation, you know, when it filters down,
35:08there are always some small sparks flying.
35:10Okay, let me also bring in Shaina N.C.
35:15Shaina N.C., your response to the fact that there's been,
35:19I mean, the kind of tamasha that we've seen inside the Maharashtra Assembly.
35:23But here we have, you know, Raj Chakri condemning what happened within the Assembly.
35:28But, you know, there seems to be some amount of selective outrage.
35:31Where he seems to be only condemning what's happening inside the Assembly.
35:34But the fact that his workers are going on a rampage is something that he fails to kind of acknowledge or condemn.
35:39Isn't it ironical?
35:42You have an altercation that starts with a verbal spat outside the Assembly building yesterday.
35:49And you have supporters who exchanged all kinds of explicit.
35:54This is a sad moment and a sad day for Maharashtra.
35:58Because whether it is Padalkarji's Karekartas or Amarji's Karekartas,
36:04the fact is that it was a shocking video where you had two groups pumping each other.
36:10And, you know, we say Parliament is the temple of democracy.
36:14Clearly, our temple of democracy in Maharashtra is the Vidhan Bhavan.
36:18So, at the outset, let me please say that we need to condemn this incident in totality.
36:26But look at the irony of the situation.
36:29You have Raj Chakri ji sermonizing when he has his Karekartas all over the city
36:37taking law into their hands in full-blown physical violence.
36:42And he's talking about, you know, how this is the most unfortunate day.
36:47I mean, please, actions speak louder than words.
36:50Everyone has condemned this incident.
36:55And I hope this thorough investigation and subsequent action
36:59is something that a lot of the leaders have to look at.
37:04And irrespective, the displeasure has been, you know, made known by all political parties,
37:12whether it's our own Eknar Jishin Day and the Shib Tena or other parties too.
37:17And the strictest action will be taken.
37:20But you can't have somebody like Raj Chakri ji sermonizing when his actions
37:24are much worse than what one saw even in the assembly.
37:30Well, absolutely.
37:31That's what we're talking about.
37:32If this is not hypocrisy, then what is?
37:35Navneet Rana also from the Bharatiya Janta Party is now joining us.
37:38Navneet Rana, how do you look at Maharashtra Nirman Sena, Chief Raj Chakri,
37:43you know, talking about the fact that, or rather amusing, what has happened to Maharashtra?
37:49In the context of what happened within the assembly, we've all seen those very ugly pictures
37:54of a scuffle there.
37:55when his own workers are going and repeatedly on a rampage in this city.
38:06But there was Raj Chakri has actually tweet or he's done on social media.
38:11See, whole Maharashtra and whole country has seen whatever is happening in Maharashtra
38:17because of this all nonsense, what they are doing it.
38:20Because when Raj Chakri was sleeping, when people of his party was hitting 60 years old people,
38:2865 years old people on the road because of not speaking in Marathi,
38:34that time not even one single word gave from Raj Chakri ji.
38:39And now suddenly something happens in Vidhan Sabha.
38:44So he tweets.
38:45So it is very sad from a political party and from a leader
38:49when we in the parliament, we make a senior citizen act
38:55to respect them, to give all facility for them.
38:59And one, from his party, few youngsters, party workers come out
39:06and hit such old people on the road itself
39:10because they are not speaking in Marathi.
39:13See, we are very proud that we are born, brought up in Maharashtra.
39:16We speak Marathi very well.
39:19Being non-Maharashtrian, we speak Marathi very well.
39:22We are proud of it.
39:23But still, you cannot force anybody on the road.
39:27And that was the agenda.
39:29And Raj Chakri has nothing to do with anybody in Maharashtra.
39:33Or Uddhav Chakri ji, everybody has seen what their intention is.
39:38Now, cooperation is coming.
39:39Because of that, that love is coming out of Raj Chakri ji and Uddhav Chakri ji.
39:46And whatever happened in Vidhan Sabha, it is very sad for everybody.
39:51Because where whole Maharashtra and every state are looking forward,
39:56what is going to happen next in Maharashtra,
39:59what investment is coming in Maharashtra.
40:01And suddenly, some party worker is coming and doing something.
40:05It is very sad for everybody, yes.
40:08All right.
40:08I'm going to thank you for the moment.
40:09Amnit Rana there, also sharing her views.
40:11Shaina N.C. Krishna Hegre,
40:13telling us about what they think of this statement of Raj Chakri ji.
40:17Clearly, his double standards here stand exposed.
40:24A day after an altercation broke out between BJP MLA Gopichand Padalkar
40:29and NCP Sharath Pawar Faction MLA Jitendra Awad,
40:33outside the legislature campus,
40:36workers of both the parties engaged in a physical duel
40:38at the staircase of the legislative building.
40:42Supporters of Jitendra Awad and Gopichand Padalkar
40:45were involved in the scuffer.
40:46And came to blows briefly before onlookers
40:49had to physically separate the two groups.
40:52According to reports,
40:53an altercation between Awad and Padalkar
40:55outside the complex went viral on social media.
41:00The two MLAs were seen exchanging sharp words
41:01near the entrance gate.
41:03Jitendra Awad later alleged that Padalkar
41:05had possibly shut his car door after stepping out,
41:08hitting him in the process.
41:10Awad has claimed that the act was deliberate.
41:13He's also staged a dharna in front of the police vehicle,
41:15while one of his supporters Nitin Deshmukh is being detained by the cops
41:20and taken into custody outside Vidhan Dhawan.
41:23I'll tell you a bit,
41:24it's not fair enough to do that.
41:26So,
41:26the P.A.T.
41:26the P.A.T.
41:27the P.A.T.
41:30We had to leave it and keep it in the middle of the road.
41:35Later, he was sent to the police station to the house in the house and took it to the police station.
41:41We tried to stop the car. The police killed our officers.
41:47He was sent to the police station and left the police station.

42:21Well, that brings us to the end of this edition,
42:45but we're leaving you with this viral video.
42:48Astronomer, a tech firm valued at over $1.3 billion is in the spotlight
42:55after a viral moment at a Coldplay concert in Boston.
42:59During the band's kiss-scam segment, CEO Andy Byron,
43:02who is married with kids, was seen hugging the HR head of his company,
43:07Kristen Cabot.
43:08He quickly ducked the camera while Cabot looked visibly flustered.
43:12The moment has since gone viral,
43:14though the executive nor the company has commented so far.
43:18All right, come on. You're okay?
43:21Oh, look at these two.
43:23All right, come on. You're okay?
43:25Oh, what?
43:28Either they're having an affair or they're just very sharp.
43:34Oh, look at these two.
43:37All right, come on. You're okay?
43:39Oh, what?
43:40Either they're having an affair or they're just very sharp.
