The opposition INDIA bloc convened a symbolic public impeachment proceeding against Gyanesh Kumar on the lawns of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's residence. The mock session, modelled on parliamentary procedures, saw the introduction of a resolution moved by Mallikarjun Kharge. Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi delivered the concluding address, expressing strong backing for the measure and calling for Gyanesh Kumar to face trial in a court of law. Addressing attendees and viewers across the country, speakers characterised the initiative as a defence of the Constitution and the collective voice of the people, asserting that institutional barriers prevented these concerns from being voiced inside Parliament. The symbolic proceedings concluded with the formal adoption of the resolution through a show of hands by participating opposition leaders.

00:05Good evening and welcome to India Today. I'm Anjali Istiwal and breaking news coming in.
00:10Let's cut across to the public impeachment by the India bloc of the CDC.
00:16We need every single institution of this country.
00:20But we guarantee you that this is a temporary phenomenon.
00:24We guarantee you that the voice of the people of India, the opposition members of parliament,
00:33the youngsters who are on the streets, we are not going to forgive and forget what you have done.
00:41Because this is an assault on the voice of the people of India.
00:46This is not some normal thing that is happening.
00:54If it was that, our approach would be completely different.
01:01You have questioned the fundamentals of this country.
01:05You have attacked the soul of this country.
01:08And for that, we are not going to let you escape.
01:12Understand that?
01:14And so, whoever is watching this, there are millions of young people watching this.
01:20Your voice is in this garden.
01:23Your voice should be in the Lok Sabha.
01:25It should be in the Rajya Sabha.
01:27We are not allowed to take your voice into the Rajya Sabha and into the Lok Sabha.
01:31That is why we are forced in this garden.
01:34But your voice is in this garden.
01:36We could not stand in this garden if the people of India were not fully supporting what we are doing.
01:43And I also want the people who have carried out this assault on the Union of India.
01:50Yanish Kumar is one element.
01:52There are many others.
01:54We know who they are.
01:56We understand deeply who they are.
02:00This is a warning to you.
02:03Things are shifting.
02:06Please hit this warning.
02:08And realize that this is a new political weapon sitting in the garden.
02:12And this weapon is going to hurt you very badly if you continue going down your path.
02:19And I am saying this with love and affection.
02:22We are not nasty people.
02:25We are not evil people.
02:27But we will protect the constitution.
02:30We will protect the voice of our people.
02:32We will not back down in protecting the voice of our Indian people, of the young people of this country,
02:38of the farmers, of everybody else.
02:41I would like to thank all the opposition leaders, all civil society members, not only the people who have come
02:48here, but millions and millions of Indian people who are watching this on TV, social media.
02:56You are our strength.
02:59And we are all fighting together for the beautiful idea of our country.
03:06I am absolutely convinced.
03:08Some people are pessimistic.
03:10I am not pessimistic.
03:13This had to happen.
03:15It was important that this happened.
03:18Because this is a test of the Union of India.
03:22This is a test of the spirit of the people of India.
03:26And I am confident they are going to overcome this like they have overcome everything before.
03:33Speaker Madam, thank you for letting me speak on this important subject.
03:40I fully support the notion that Mr. Gyanesh Kumar should not only be impeached.
03:46Mr. Gyanesh Kumar should be tried in a court of law.
03:50Pride for treason and justice should be served.
03:54Thank you so much.
03:57Now we come to the voting over this very, very important, significant proposal, resolution,
04:10that was moved by Shri Malikarjun Karkeji and on which, in the end, we had the views of
04:20the leader of opposition in Luxembourg, Shri Rahul Gandhiji.
04:27I would request you to vote on this resolution by show of hand.
05:06And these proceedings were held
05:09on the lawns of Congress President Malik Arjun Khargay's residence.
05:14And this is basically a passage of the impeach Gyanesh Kumar motion,
05:21which we just saw by the raising of hands that has been done.
05:25And there were many speeches that happened
05:28before the leader of opposition spoke.
05:30Rahul Gandhi was last speaker to speak on this entire issue.
05:33Raising many points here of how there is an institutional standstill
05:41that they see when they try to bring up the points
05:46that the opposition has to raise.
05:48So that is why they are holding this entire mock session.
05:53And Rahul Gandhi was the last one to speak
05:55as we just saw before the motion was passed.
06:04We're glad you left with us.
06:05Well done.
