00:00Alright, cutting across to some live updates.
00:02Like we said, that protest has just started.
00:04Those MPs, the opposition MPs, 300 of them, as claimed by Rahul Gandhi, are on board that bus.
00:09Let's take you straight to the visuals that are coming in now.
00:11We are now told that high drama is unfolding in the National Capital over the CEC's Outster.
00:16Rahul Gandhi is leading the opposition MPs towards Jantar Mantar.
00:19We are told that Delhi Police has issued protest advisory.
00:24What is Delhi Police saying?
00:25They are saying that a 10-day prior permission mandatory for Jantar Mantar demonstration.
00:30In the meanwhile, since that was denied to them, in fact, it was not just denied to Rahul Gandhi and
00:35the Congress Party,
00:36but it was relayed to several other groups as well, including ISA and several other student organizations that happened over
00:41the weekend as well.
00:42Now, at the moment, as we speak, you see two windows over there.
00:46One of very heavy police deployment at Janpat to basically stop them from going all the way to Jantar Mantar
00:55to sit in at the protest and have all the MPs get together.
00:59There is also riot police, Delhi Police personnel, which have been deployed.
01:02And on the other hand, you have this truck full of MPs who are saying that we will go there
01:07nonetheless.
01:07So, where exactly has this truck reached, this bus reached and what exactly lies ahead?
01:12Let's cut across to our reporter Rahul Gautam joining us with the very latest update.
01:16Rahul, dosas have been taken in, sambar and idli is on, but the tadka of protest is yet to begin.
01:30Would that be fair to say?
01:32What exactly is the bandu bus?
01:34How far will they be allowed to go?
01:41Well, tadka is yet to come, but it seems that Dal is almost ready.
01:45I'll just show you via visuals of what I'm trying to tell you that there are three buses
01:51which are completely filled with members of parliament.
01:56And then this one, the bus that you are seeing right now on your screens is actually the one
02:00which is carrying Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vatra and Malika Arjun Karge.
02:05And they are going towards Jantar Mantar.
02:08If not Jantar Mantar, then they'll try to go to election commission of India.
02:13Now, as we all know that yesterday also, when he tried to march towards election commission of India,
02:19the entire opposition bloc MPs, they were prevented from reaching election commission.
02:25They were detained.
02:26Initially, there was a dharna of seven hours and later on, they were forcefully evicted from Akash Mahdi Bhavan
02:33and then taken away to Kingsway camp.
02:34So, clearly, as far as Congress party is concerned or opposition is concerned,
02:40they are pretty convinced that all is not well as far as election commission is concerned.
02:45And primarily, they are pressing for three demands.
02:47A, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar should go.
02:49B, immediate suspension of ongoing SIR exercise.
02:52And three, from going forward, election should be conducted via ballot paper.
02:57Now, you can see now, very nearby to us, Priyanka Gandhi Vatra on your screens.
03:04Then there is Rahul Gandhi sitting next to Malik Arjun Kharge.
03:07Then there is Leruka Chaudhuri, Raja Amrinder Wadding, Imran Pratapgadi, Pawan Kheda,
03:15K.C. Benu Gopal, all senior leaders of Congress party.
03:17In fact, this bus also has Mr. Derek O'Brien, who is a TMC MP.
03:21So, clearly, the entire opposition bloc is on street.
03:25They are on warpath.
03:26And they have made it very clear.
03:27This is day two, remember, Sonal.
03:30And it seems that this fight is far from being over.
03:34And the opposition is only shifting the gear.
03:37Initially, it was in Parliament.
03:39The arena was in Parliament.
03:41Both the houses of Parliament, Raja Sabha, Lok Sabha.
03:43But now, they are taking it to the very streets of the national capital.
03:47You see there, NSUI workers, youth Congress workers.
03:50All right, but the question is going to be, Rahul, on how far they actually managed to go.
03:54We seem to be losing that signal with Rahul, a little bit of a child connect.
03:58A lot of times, what happens is, jammers are in place because, you know,
04:01there are so many protests that are being organized.
04:03So, we'll try and see if we can get to a better location and bring you more visuals.
