00:00Ramlila Grounds, remember, is now a notified protest site.
00:03So what is the objection? What are the concerns now?
00:05The trader's body has directly written to Rahul Gandhi, the leader of opposition.
00:09They are claiming, they're warning and saying that there could be a loss of up to 10,000 crore rupees
00:14in trades.
00:15It is the peak Diwali season. Diwali festival is on 8th of November.
00:19So clearly, week 10 days before that, especially on the weekends, is going to be completely packed when it comes
00:24to shopping.
00:25And Ramlila Grounds is right adjacent to Old Delhi area and the Purani Delhi, Chandni Chauk area.
00:32That is where basically maximum Diwali shopping is actually done.
00:35But what is that other concern that the trader's body have reached out to Rahul Gandhi with and what is
00:40his response as well?
00:41Remember, at a time like this, what the CTI has written to Rahul Gandhi is to suggest that can you
00:46postpone this specific protest after Diwali?
00:50You can always resume it later. And that is something that the traders' bodies have said.
00:54They're claiming 3,000 crore rupees loss could be due to, already has happened due to the rallies that were
00:59held in the month of October.
01:01And that will be now an added loss.
01:0420 wholesale and retail markets within 5 kilometers of railway maidan, Ramlila maidan will be at risk because that area
01:10is connecting Connaught Place on one side
01:13and is connecting Old Delhi and Chandni Chauk area on the other.
01:16So, these are some of the concerns that have been written to Rahul Gandhi, that traffic diversions may disrupt the
01:23market access.
01:24So, Ramlila Grounds while is, remember, on another side of Old Delhi markets, but if there are traffic diversions, restrictions
01:31or traffic jam,
01:32that could make people not want to come towards those markets.
01:35Oxygen bars may avoid Delhi this time because they would be expecting disruptions of all kinds because of these agitations
01:42and protests.
01:43Can you then at least delay and postpone it to, after Diwali, which is after 8th of November,
01:48to that Rahul Gandhi has maintained that he will call off the protests within 30 seconds if CEC Gyanesh Kumar
01:55resigns.
01:56Meanwhile, what is the Congress Party saying on another event, right before the Ramlila maidan on 30th October,
02:02they wanted to do a mock impeachment of CEC Gyanesh Kumar.
02:07Here's what senior leaders of the Congress Party, KC Venu Gopal Pawan Khera are saying that they have been denied
02:14permission for this event
02:16and they're saying with the Congress Party, we know fairly well how to organize an event and how,
02:20and they're making these allegations against Delhi Police.
02:23The grand old party has claimed that Delhi Police has denied permission for this public mock impeachment.
02:28The party further alleging permission was also denied for an event at the Ushoka Hotel in Central Delhi.
02:33KC Venu Gopal and Pawan Khera are slamming the government over the denial of permission.
02:37Let's listen in to this.
02:40We don't know what is the reason.
02:42Exactly, this Ramlila maidan, they allowed us for October 25th to November 3rd.
02:51October 30th, we are planning a program as a curtain raiser for November 1st, Maha Rally and March.
02:59What is the problem with the police?
03:01First of all, they denied Ashoka Hotel loan.
03:03Then they came here, they told, we cannot allow you.
03:08That means, this is not the Delhi Police decision.
03:11It is the decision of Mahirantra Modi and Amit Shah.
03:15Their pet touch, Ganesh Kumar, to be protected.
03:22This is what they're thinking.
03:25But we are not going to succumb on their pressures.
03:44So here's what the Congress leaders are asking.
03:46Pawan Khera and Venu Gopal are asking that we clearly know how to organize a public event
03:51and to ensure that the decorum will be maintained as well.
03:54Crowd will be in control.
03:55How can we be denied permission?
03:57This is on 30th of October.
03:58This is not for the 1st November Ramlila Maidan Rally.
04:01And that is what the Congress party is saying.
04:03This is a mock impeachment attempt that we wanted to do, a public event.
04:07And why are we being denied permission for this?
04:10This is unlike and different from the Ramlila Maidan Rally.
04:14Now, that's not all, ladies and gentlemen.
04:16The Congress party is doubling down when it comes to these charges
04:21that they are making against the CEC Gyanish Kumar and on the SR exercise.
