00:00Alright, having understood that entire sequence of events, let's get some live reactions from
00:05the ground. Let's cut across to my colleague Preeti Chaudhary joining us. Preeti, if you
00:09could hear that entire interaction, it's quite unprecedented what has happened. But
00:14let me also bring to your notice that right, you know, very close to where you're standing
00:19is Munish Pandey. And Munish Pandey is reporting to us that there are some pro-BJP protesters
00:26over there who are chanting Modi Modi. So while there are protesters on the ground in support
00:32of the CJP, there are those in the support of the BJP as well.
00:41Alright, Sona, let me just tell you what's happening on ground right now. We are right
00:45in front of ICWA, the Pankar Bhattacharya of the left and it seems there is also Neha
00:50Bora here in decoy. At least that's what we've been told. They have just emerged from
00:59Mandi House and they're trying to make their way to the inner circle. These are the visuals
01:04that we are beaming to you live right outside ICWA. This is where the police have stopped
01:10the Pankar Bhattacharya as well as what we've been told is Neha Bora in decoy, we've been
01:20in right now. They are detaining the left leaders and left students here. Suddenly they started
01:32unfurling the tricolor. The Pankar Bhattacharya of what I know of the left is here. Neha Bora
01:38is also here in decoy. She's trying to make her way out. I have seen her wearing a cap and
01:46a brown shirt and detentions have now begun. This is the first time we've seen force.
01:52This is the first time if you can see right here that we have seen force.
02:04All right. So what you see right now on your television screen is the first splash point. The first
02:15splash point which has led to a bit of a face-off between the left students as well as the
02:24left
02:29paramilitary forces. A ring has been created. If I can find my camera person, Pawan, but if
02:36you can hear me, Sonal, if you can hear me, can you just tell me if you can hear me?
02:39I can, Preeti, go ahead. I can. Go ahead.
02:42So detentions have now started. They are being picked up one by one. A sudden collection
02:54of left leaders and left students. I did see the Pankar Bhattacharya with him of what
02:59I know is Neha Bora. And they were making their way from here towards the inner circle. I'm
03:05at Mandi House. And this is the Barakamba road. And things have come to a clear head right
03:10now. Sudden bolstering of police personnel and paramilitary forces. One by one the left
03:22leaders have been picked up. I can also tell you, while this flash point continues not very
03:27far off from here, on the other side of Mandi House, I can see a build up of left students
03:32there as well. So I think there will be, on the other side of Mandi House, another flash
03:39point with, now you can call them protestors because they are making their way and not being
03:45allowed to make their way to Kanoat Place to unfold the Tiranga. And what is taking place
03:51here is a huge face off and a push back from left students.
