00:00The national capital of India, New Delhi, has become a fortress, quite literally.
00:04And this is because of the call given for Tiranga March by the Kaukera Janta Party.
00:10But before that, the police have put up posters like this.
00:13This is the central park inside where Abhijit Dipke and his team wanted to show solidarity with their arrested, detained
00:21colleagues, Swarov Das and Ranka.
00:24But this call has, as of now, been faced with a severe, severe, I would say, high-handed approach from
00:33the Delhi police.
00:33They have not allowed the CJP to embark on their protest, which was supposed to start at 5 o'clock.
00:39Posters like this and many more.
00:42This whole area is out of bounds for the common public for two days.
00:45And legal action will be taken against them if they choose to enter these premises.
00:50Look at this.
00:51There is a public notice also posted here.
00:53It is hereby informed that the central park cannot place, shall remain closed for general public on 16th October 26th
00:59and 17th October due to administrative reasons.
01:02They are not mentioning it in as many words that it is because of the CJP protest call that was
01:09given.
01:09But the visuals are palpable.
01:12Look at the participants here.
01:14Some of them have obviously come here to show the world that despite Abhijit Dipke not being able to come
01:22here,
01:23you will see protesters here also coming and expressing their views.
01:28Because media presence, police presence, everything is palpable here in the centre of Delhi and 16th of October, which is
01:35today, is going to definitely be counted as one of the red-letter days as far as the history of
01:42independent India is concerned.
01:43Because a protest call has been shown a thumbs down by the system, by the government, by Delhi police.
01:53So, right at the boundary of the central park, which is prohibited, we met with one of the protesters, I
02:01would say,
02:01carrying the national flag.
02:03That was the call.
02:04What is your name?
02:05What makes you come here?
02:06Hi, I am Shivam.
02:07So, I have graduated from one of the IITs and I have come here today to express that unfolding the
02:15flag, which is our national flag, is our pride and it cannot be illegal.
02:20You cannot detain someone for holding the flag and I am here standing in solidarity with Saurav and Ashutosh.
02:27When you say you are from IIT, does that mean something additional to what other people are trying to achieve
02:33here?
02:34Yes, so that also says, see, a lot of people who have come from very educated background are here, who
02:40know the law, who know how economics work, who are understanding that something is wrong with our country.
02:46So, they are here to protest and maybe take our country in a better direction.
02:51So, that's the only thing that I am trying to make a point.
02:53I am not trying to maybe, you know, say an additional advantage on top.
02:57But I am saying a lot of educated class of our society is here in Delhi today and are protesting
03:02against the government.
03:03And their illegal detentions.
03:05Many voices are also saying that it is very unfortunate on, you know, part of the Indian government and Delhi
03:11police especially not to allow such peaceful protest.
03:15What was the risk that they were fearing, first of all?
03:18And secondly, how convinced are you that nothing unto what will happen?
03:22So, I think it is the responsibility of Delhi police to make sure that, you know, nothing like any sorts
03:30of dunga does not happen, right?
03:31And I don't think they are here to protect or maybe stop this kind of, you know, thing.
03:38I think they are here to stop the protestors to come out in large numbers.
03:42Because this gives a message out there.
03:44This gives a message to the rest of the country that...
03:53We will move to other side.
03:58Okay, okay.
03:59Where is the road for the rest of the country?
04:00No, the road for the footpath.
04:03The footpath is also a road.
04:04Yes, the road for the police.
04:06The government has given the road for the police.
04:07Yes, the road for the police.
04:08You are trying to say something.
04:12We can go that side.
04:13So, basically this area is supposed to be free of the protestors, which is very close to the protest site.
04:23Now we have to cross this road and go that side.
04:25We continue from where we left.
04:27We were asked to leave that place, which is very close to the Central Park.
04:30And now we have come on to this side of the road.
04:31You were saying something earlier that the role of Delhi police is responsible to Delhi police to prevent any sort
04:39of untoward.
04:39What happened?
04:40Yeah, so I don't think they are here to really, you know, maybe just safeguard and public safety.
04:46They care about that much because we have seen peaceful protestors like you and me.
04:50And media people were detained who were just interviewing one person, just standing on the road.
04:54So I think their goal is to stop the outrage or maybe stop this news from getting out and for
05:00the rest of the country to know.
05:02Okay.
05:02And I want to use this maybe, you know, this platform that we are talking.
05:06I want to make one more remark that not many people are talking about right now in the media.
05:11Okay.
05:12So as we know, we are protesting against Gyanish Kumar who is involved in SIR and a lot of things
05:18going on around that.
05:19Right.
05:19I want to, I want to tell everybody who is listening here that Gyanish Kumar was leading the committee that
05:25formed the Ram Mandir Trust.
05:28Right.
05:29Where all the irregularities happened.
05:31So a lot of chandachori has happened.
05:33So Gyanish Kumar was leading.
05:34He was the leading bureaucrat who formed that trust.
05:37So it just proves that there are too many things going wrong with this guy and this guy should be
05:43sacked and he should resign immediately and he should be prosecuted.
05:46I will not accept whatever just Cockroach Janta Party is saying.
05:49I am not just a supporter of Cockroach Janta Party.
05:51I am saying that he should be prosecuted.
05:54He has committed a treason, not just against a particular, I would say people, not just elections, but across the
06:01country in multiple domains.
06:03And it should be thoroughly maybe examined like what all the roles he has played in the government in the
06:08past.
06:08He has committed a fraud with the Ram Mandir Trust as well potentially and he should be investigated for that.
06:14And he should be prosecuted for that crime against Hindus.
06:18There is a lot of anger, palpable anger in the youth against Gyanish Kumar.
06:23It is not just about one person.
06:25The systemic rot that the youth are talking about is something which is unfortunately very quickly becoming synonymous to the
06:33rot in the system as well.
06:35And so long as that is not plugged, protests like these and youth turning out in the heart of Delhi
06:42in such numbers won't be stopping so soon.
06:46We are at Palika Bazaar, one of the busiest markets here in Connaught Place, the central part of New Delhi.
06:54This place otherwise also is very crowded.
06:56But today on 16th of October, the crowd has gathered here for a mission, on a mission where they are
07:02protesting against the chief election commissioner, Gyanish Kumar.
07:07That's first reason.
07:08And secondly, they are also gathered here to show solidarity to the fact that they are free countrymen and they
07:17have all the right to unfurl the national flag wherever they want.
07:21And they chose the national capital.
07:23You will see a life size national flag unfurling here in the middle of the Central Park.
07:31But unfortunately, right below that are thousands and thousands of protesters dotted with police personnel also and media personnel who
07:40are being stopped to carry on with their Teranga March,
07:46which the call was given by Abhijit Dipke, the founder of Kaukrat Janta Party.
07:53We have seen the CJP protests in the month of July as well, June, July as well.
07:58Then we had a huge uproar on 10th of October also and now 16th of October, barely six days later.
08:05And we have once again these posters out which says, Gyanish Kumar ko barkhast karo.
08:10It says that Gyanish Kumar should be removed from the election commission and vote chor gatti chhod is the mantra
08:19that these protesters are sticking to.
08:21Visuals like these have become quite normal on Delhi streets, especially after the CJP protest that removed former education minister
08:33Dharamendra Pradhan.
08:34And now with such protest calls being given every day, Delhi police are on their toes to stop the protesters
08:44and try to maintain what they call peace and harmony in the city, in the national capital of India, New
08:54Delhi.
08:57Scenes which need no introduction here and drones are also keeping an eye on the movement of the protesters here.
09:08You would see a lot of a lot of activity is being monitored by these aerial drones.
09:15Obviously, they are keeping an eye looking at two of them, multiple sightings here, you'll see game of drones is
09:24what appears to be playing out here.
09:27And now with such acrimony on the streets of national capital, it remains to be seen whether it dies down
09:36here because Abhijit Dipke has signed that he won't be coming to this protest.
09:40But what remains to be seen whether these thousands of protesters go back home tonight only to come back next
09:48day.
