00:00I have, let me quickly. Sandeep Dixit from the Congress is here. Mr. Dixit, hello. Walking on your way in
00:10protest, in solidarity. Are you happy with the kind of crowds that have come in?
00:14Well, actually, I've been happy with the crowds from the last two months.
00:18For the first time, we've seen the kind of crowds that have come in for your call. You made that
00:23call yesterday, asking for civil society, students, youth.
00:25Right, right. No, that's encouraging. But please remember, you know, my sense of satisfaction comes from a fact that both
00:32the issues in which most of India is agitated are both something that Mr. Gandhi personally raised.
00:37And, you know, and for me to look at it politically, I'm not particularly concerned as to who leads the
00:42protests on the streets. It's who ideates it.
00:46It's really something that he brought up. He convinced Indians who were not convinced that there was something dastardly wrong
00:51going on.
00:52And I think people have kind of thought about that, accepted it, taken it as their own idea.
00:56And I think if you really ask, especially young people of India, I don't think they are worried under whose
01:01banner they are.
01:02They are under the banner of reclaiming their nation.
01:05There have been constant, you know, two press conferences back to back from the Bharatya Janata Party.
01:10We had Anurag Thakur who just spoke, earlier Ron Senior BJP leader Shivarad Singh Chauhan just spoke,
01:17basically suggesting that you're playing into a foreign hand to try and instill anarchy on the streets of the national
01:25capital in the country.
01:26You know, I don't want to belittle what the government says, but I almost want to say yawn.
01:31I think I've heard about this just too many times.
01:33Sorry, I mean, there's a particular expression in English saying yawn.
01:37It's really that.
01:37And my thing is, you are the government.
01:40You are not only the government, you claim that you have perhaps the world's most popular leader as your Prime
01:44Minister.
01:45Every nation in the country bows to you.
01:47In fact, they're scared of you.
01:48So find out who's supporting us.
01:51If you're thinking that such large leaders are doing something anti-national,
01:54they should not be allowed on the streets.
01:57Fair point, sir. Good luck.
01:58Thank you for joining us.
