00:00Viewers, these are the first visuals that we are bringing to you from that public impeachment of the CEC event,
00:08the symbolic impeachment that's now in fact just about to commence at Malikarjan Kargay's residence.
00:15All of the opposition leaders, the MPs from several parties who in fact are a part of the India bloc
00:23have come in and gathered at Kargay's residence.
00:26And Meera Kumar, the former Speaker, takes the presiding seat, as you see.
00:32Remember that she will be the presiding officer for the entire session.
00:38And Malikarjan Kargay will be opening the floor with his remarks with the very notice that he will be putting
00:47forward
00:47about the impeachment of the CEC, then followed by several leaders,
00:53around 21 of the opposition leaders each to come in and give in their remarks and complaints
00:59about the entire process of SIR and all other allegations that have been mounting against the Election Commission
01:07and the way it's been holding its functions and operating basically.
01:12Several of the SIR complainants are also present.
01:15You can see the leaders who were just in fact a little while back coming into Kargay's residence
01:21and now it's the national anthem being sung by all the leaders.
01:27While we see Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Malikarjan Kargay leading in the front
01:33while all of the rest of the party's MPs have in fact come in and gathered.
01:39And Priyanka Gandhi also there right at the front.
01:45It is going to be a rather interesting event in terms of, first of its kind one may say,
01:53given the symbolic impeachment that they will be holding.
01:57And post that, as I was telling you how it's going to proceed,
02:01after the SIR complainants also express their grievances with the entire process,
02:07it is the leader of the opposition, Rahul Gandhi, who would have the final word.
02:14The entire event just begins as we speak.
02:19Visuals coming in live of the impeachment process beginning, commencing against the CEC.
02:26It's a symbolic impeachment, viewers.
02:28Remember because the opposition has to say that they have been demanding an impeachment process
02:32in the parliament of the country
02:34and yet their demands, their requests have seemingly fallen upon deaf ears of the government
02:43and which is why they've decided to take matters into their own hands
02:47and at least send out a symbolic message to the country
02:50that if they're not heard in the parliament, as they have come out to claim,
02:54they will be heard here.
02:56They will, in fact, hold the symbolic impeachment
03:02to send out a message to the government
03:06that they are not backing down from their demand of the CEC to be removed.
03:12Meera Kumar, the presiding officer, with her opening remarks,
03:18as the notice, the motion has been moved, the notice has been issued.
03:24In today's event, I welcome you all to welcome everyone.
