00:00And Rahul Gandhi's big attack on Election Commission and the BJP. Rahul Gandhi says
00:05Votchori is a crime against constitution. BJP and Election Commission have committed
00:11an act of trajan and justice will be served. So Rahul Gandhi will also be briefing the
00:16media tomorrow on this particular issue. So he says that Votchori is a crime against
00:22the Indian people and a direct attack on the constitution. The BJP, RSS and the Election
00:27Commission, who organized it, have committed an act of trajan and justice will be served.
00:33That's the attack from the Congress party, from Lok Sabha, leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi.
00:38Listen in.
00:39I'm the election commission and the election officers of the election. You who are doing it are wrong.
00:47This is treason against the country. Don't forget this. It will come. We will take you.
01:11And my colleague Amit Bahadwaj continues to stay with us. Amit, politics is also escalating.
01:16This is not the first time that the opposition is attacking the government on this matter.
01:21The opposition has been attacking the government over SIR. And now it's just that they have got
01:26more ammunition to attack and question the government.
01:30Certainly. The opposition parties do have a lot of ammunition right now. And they feel that
01:36they stand vindicated today. And that is why the Congress party has replugged Rahul Gandhi's
01:40video message where he had said that the election commissioners should amend their ways and that
01:46the Congress party is looking after every action being taken by the EC officers and that nobody
01:52will be spared. Not only Congress party, even Arvind Kejewal is saying that this is an act of
01:58treason. And in fact, Arvind Kejewal has gone to the extent of saying that, you know, Mr.
02:03Gyanesh Kumar should be immediately arrested and he should be charged with a treason case or a
02:08solution case, so to say. In fact, he's demanding that the recent elections that were conducted
02:13after the SIR process, be it in Maharashtra, Haryana, Bihar, thus Bengal and Delhi, those
02:19elections should be cancelled and state elections should be reconducted. And third question is
02:25also being, or demand is also being made, that changes to the electoral rules in the country
02:30should put to a stop. The SIR process should put to a stop. Even in Delhi, as we speak, you
02:37would recall as to how India today itself was reporting two days back, several voters in Delhi
02:43are getting notices under the SIR exercise, including former army chief, former justice of
02:49Supreme Court and MEA as Jayashankar. The list was quite long the way and that is why
02:55opposition feels the timing is spread to attack. Absolutely.
