Rahul Gandhi Revives Student Protests?](https://youtube.com/watch?v=Udkq1lTYPlo) ## Summary The video analyzes the political aftermath of the student protests in Delhi, focusing on Rahul Gandhi's letter demanding Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation over alleged police violence. It questions the timing of the letter, the political motivations behind it, and the broader implications for the opposition and the ruling BJP. ### Key Points - **Rahul Gandhi's Letter to Amit Shah** [00:02] — Rahul Gandhi wrote a letter to Home Minister Amit Shah, holding him responsible for the violence against students during the protests. He questions why the letter was sent on July 26, not July 20, suggesting political timing. - **Timing of the Letter** [00:45] — The letter was sent a day after Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation and the CJP's announcement that the movement was over. This timing suggests a political strategy to keep the issue alive. - **Rahul Gandhi's Shift from Guest to Host** [01:14] — Earlier, opposition leaders like Arvind Kejriwal were guests at the protest site. Now Rahul Gandhi is taking a lead role, but he avoids naming the CJP, possibly to maintain political distance. - **Why Amit Shah is Targeted** [03:27] — Rahul Gandhi argues that since Delhi Police and RAF report to Amit Shah, he must answer for the actions. The letter mentions Sahil Lochab, a 19-year-old who lost vision in one eye due to a pellet. - **Government's Denial** [04:39] — Delhi Police denies having pellet guns, and PIB calls the claims false. The RAF is investigating, but no one admits responsibility, leading to a blame game. - **Congress's Political Strategy** [05:05] — The video suggests Congress is using the anger from the protests to target Amit Shah, the number two in BJP, to gain political advantage. - **Why Rahul Gandhi Avoids Naming CJP** [05:31] — CJP's movement is non-political, and giving them credit would mean the resignation is not the opposition's victory. Also, CJP is closer to AAP, which is a rival in Punjab. - **Opposition's Anger Over Being Ignored** [06:11] — The government held talks with CJP but not with the opposition, fueling their anger. The opposition now seeks political benefit in Parliament. - **Government's Response** [07:22] — The government is quiet, but PM Modi's presence and a new bill on paper leaks are seen as attempts to show the issue is resolved. The resignation is framed as a victory for students, not a defeat. - **Injuries to Policemen and Journalists** [08:22] — Over 100 policemen were injured, and many journalists were attacked. Neither the opposition nor the government is highlighting this, focusing only on student injuries. - **Potential Backfire for Opposition** [09:07] — The demand for Amit Shah's resignation may backfire if the government successfully portrays the issue as resolved, making the opposition look like it's stalling Parliament. - **The Real Battle** [10:31] — The outcome depends on which image of July 20 remains memorable. The opposition has evidence, but the government has the majority and can push through bills. - **CJP's Success vs Opposition's Failure** [11:13] — CJP achieved a minister's resignation in one month, which the opposition couldn't do in 11 years. This highlights the youth's power and the opposition's disconnect. - **Dharmendra Pradhan's Resignation: A Masterstroke?** [11:43] — The resignation may have solved three problems for BJP: UGC issue, Ayodhya donation controversy, and E20 protests, while also improving PM Modi's image. ### Conclusion The video concludes that the political battle over the student protests is far from over, with both sides using the issue for electoral gain. The resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan may have been a strategic move by the BJP to defuse multiple crises, but the opposition's demand for Amit Shah's resignation keeps the pressure on. ## Transcript ? Those who were beating the students in plain clothes , were they policemen or someone else? No student asked these two questions. This question has been asked by Rahul Gandhi. Mr. Amit Shah is directly responsible for the violence that has taken place against our students. He authorizes ballot guns on our students. And questions have been asked directly to the country's Home Minister Amit Shah. Well, the question is not wrong. The eyesight of a 19-year-old boy eyesight of a 19-year-old boy is at stake. These questions should be asked. But the real question is that if this question had been asked on July 20, it would have been understandable. asked on July 20, it would have been understandable. Why was this question asked on July 26? Is this a coincidence or is there some political chronology behind it ? And to understand this you will have to understand the date. Dharmendra Pradhan resigns on 25 July. On the same day, CJP announces that the movement is over, victory has been achieved, students should return home and the very next day this letter is sent in the name of Amit Shah. There is not even a gap of a day in between. The question again is whether this is a coincidence? Because the opposition was in this movement earlier also. From Arvind Kejriwal to Mahva Mohtra, everyone reached Jantar Mantar. But then he was a guest on the students' stage. Jantar Mantar. But then he was a guest on the students' stage. Today Rahul Gandhi is suddenly turning from a guest to a host. However, Rahul had also tried by surrounding the Prime Minister's residence. There also tried by surrounding the Prime Minister's residence. There not mention the Cockroach Janata Party anywhere. So the question is, was Rahul not considering the platform of cockroach Janata Party as his own platform [music]? Were n't you considering their issues as your own? And in such a situation, when the movement is over but anger is still there in the country, then is Rahul looking for a new opportunity to corner BJP by cashing in on that anger because not taking the name of CJP or Abhijit Deepe could either be a mistake or a political strategy of Rahul Gandhi and from here the question arises whether here the question arises whether Amit Shah is the next target now? Will this target Amit Shah is the next target now? Will this target be successful or will the opposition be trapped in it? Today's story is whether the protest started by the Cockroach Janata Party has not ended even after the protest ended and why is Amit Shah on the target? Hello, I am Shubhankar Mishra and politics is taking strange turns. On one hand, the cockroach people are threatening every day that brother, you have not withdrawn the FIR yet. We will surround you again. On the other hand, Arvind Kejriwal is targeting Nitin Gadkari. They are saying that now protests will start across the country regarding E20 and the third story is of Rahul Gandhi who has now found his own issue in the issue of children and he is going to directly corner the Home Minister on that issue. Well, in the world of politics it is said that the bigger the enemy, the more your status is determined by it and it seems that Rahul Gandhi does went to the Prime Minister's house and protested and now they are demanding the resignation of the Home Minister. Now before we start this story, we request you that we have been expressing our opinion on this issue openly and without any hesitation. So you become our strength. Keep writing different topics in the comment section on which particular topic you want us to make videos for you and keep subscribing to us in large numbers. Also link of which we have given in the comment section in the description. Now let us start with the first question that why only Amit Shah is targeted? So Rahul Gandhi has written a line in the letter that the security forces deployed in Delhi answer to Amit Shah who is the Home Minister. Then who should the question be asked ? Now both Rapid Action Force and Delhi Police report to Amit Shah. So Rahul Gandhi is saying that either he gave the order or someone from his department gave it. Therefore, Amit Shah will have to answer. The name someone from his department gave it. Therefore, Amit Shah will have to answer. The name of the boy mentioned in Rahul Gandhi's letter is Sahil Lochab. He is a resident of Najafgarh. He is 19 years old. The family says that an immediate operation had to be performed at AIIMS on July 21 to remove the pellet from his eye. Doctors have said that there is little hope of vision returning. On the other hand, the government's denial is equally clear. Delhi Police says that it does not have a pet gun. PIB also termed these claims as false. The Rapid Action Force has launched an investigation into these allegations. But till date neither CRPF nor RF has said that this incident happened due to their bullet. He is also saying that none of his soldiers fired the bullet. That means everyone is in denial. No one is responsible. But if it was just this, then this letter would have been written on 21st July, the day after 20th July. The question is about the timing, why did it come on 26th July? Why did the cockroaches come the day after the Janata Party protest ended ? Does this timing indicate that after the end of the protest of the cockroach Janata Party, the Congress wants to create a new protest by raising the fire or ashes of the same issue? See, there is understands this. But is Congress trying to divert the anger over lathi charge and use of force Because he is number two in BJP. That means with the resignation the old target was cleared and anger remained and in politics even the remaining anger does not go waste. All he needs is a new address and that's the whole story. But a question arises in this story that then why is Rahul Gandhi not taking the name of Cockroach Janata Party? Now this is not take the name of CJP. Abhijeet did not take Deepak's name. The CJP also said neither yes nor no to the opposition's fight and the reasons for both are different but the fear is the same. CJP has been saying from the beginning that his movement is not political because he knows that as soon as the opposition stands on the stage, his claim will end. On the other hand, if the opposition gives credit to CJP, then the resignation will not be its victory. But there is another reason for this which is perhaps the biggest. Whom did the government talk to to end the movement ? Three rounds of talks were held with the CJP. Sonam Wangchuk broke his fast. After meeting Jitendra Singh, the government spoke to each section of the movement separately and did not call the opposition for talks. So the opposition's anger is not just about sticks. There is also anger that he was not considered worthy of talking. The road deal was struck between the government and the students. The opposition remained standing outside the door. Therefore, now he is taking the fight to where he can get political benefit and that is Parliament and even CJP is not leaving the fight. Three officers were named by Deepak. DCP Sandeep Lava, DCP Sachin Sharma and ACP Ajay Sharma were told that an account will have to be given for the lathicharge done in the name of Modi and Shah. Now what is happening is that they take the names of Deep's officers but do not write letters. Rahul Gandhi writes letters but does not take the names of officers. Same date, two different accounts. However, there is also a story in this that Rahul Gandhi ji also a story in this that Rahul Gandhi ji knows that those from CGP should be a little closer to Aam Aadmi Party. In such a situation, if he had been on that platform, he would have had to come closer to the Aam Aadmi Party and the real fight in the Punjab elections is between the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress. Congress comes back to power. Aam Aadmi Party wants to retain power and despite their desire, both are not able to come together on the stage and corner each other. So is this also the reason why the name of CJP is not being taken ? It is possible Well, the question is ? It is possible Well, the question is what is the government doing? The government is sitting quiet right now. The Prime Minister came on 26th July. He Director Tapan Teka and former ISRO Chairman S Somnath are included. The very next day the government brought a new bill on paper leak. The bill will be presented after a few hours and this is a movement started due to paper leak. The law coming into force on this is a big victory and this victory is of the students. But the government is not just bringing in laws. Making a photo together. When Dharmendra Pradhan reached the House, NDA MPs welcomed him by presenting him a shawl and Mithila Park. Slogans were raised - Long live Dharmendra Pradhan. That is, there is an attempt to convey the message that resignation was not a defeat. The decision was to bow to the pressure of the children. The opposition capitalized on the children and succumbed to it. The government is trying to create the perception that this matter has been resolved. Now all that is left is politics. However, there is another aspect to this story. On the day this incident took place and the day when the students were lathi-charged, more than 100 policemen were also injured. And the surprising thing is that no one is mentioning the policemen. In the approximately 20 cases registered related to Jantar Mantar, many journalists and policemen were attacked. That means that day the stick was not used only on children. It was used on policemen as well as journalists and this is also an important part of it. About which neither Abhijeet is talking nor Rahul Gandhi is talking. What the truth is will come out through investigation. But its results are already visible in politics. The opposition has pictures of injured students. The government is showing the new law. The court is far away. The fight against this is being fought on TV and mobile. And this is where it will probably be decided whose bet will work. But there is also a question whether the opposition's move to demand Amit Shah's resignation will backfire and this question is very important. Neither Rahul Gandhi nor Amit Shah has the answer to this. This move will work if the anger over the action taken against the students does not subside and the opposition also has a solid point. The assurance of withdrawing the FIR was given by the government. The FIR has not been withdrawn yet. Delhi Police is saying that this might have been said by the government but they have not received any written order yet. That's why he is investigating. Understand the compulsion of the government here. Withdrawing an FIR is not like pressing a button. First the government's order, then a letter to the police, then to the LG, then the LG's letter to the police, then to the LG, then the LG's approval. But the question is that if the resignation was done on the same day then why did it take two days for the paper to be presented ? And until that order is issued, the opposition has evidence in its hands. But this move could backfire. If the government starts saying that the issue has been resolved, then the opposition will be seen as only trying to stall the House. As seen today. The House was adjourned four times today. There was no discussion except the introduction of a bill. However, the opposition also has its compulsions. The government has the majority. Therefore, she can neither stop the bill nor win the vote. And the same story was there during the BJP era also when BJP was in the opposition. Then Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley themselves used to say that it is the job of the opposition to remain adamant in the House. On the other hand, BJP supporters are saying that the government will never allow such a picture to be created that it has surrendered. So the decision will be taken neither in the House nor by letter. The decision will depend on which picture of July 20th remains memorable. But the question again is that the Amit Shah's resignation. Will this accountability from Amit Shah And will the issue continue to escalate from here? Because Kejriwal demands Gadkari's resignation over E20. Will there be any more resignations in the BJP government? Has that era begun? This is an important question in itself. Finally, one thing that probably hurt the opposition the most. CJP accomplished in one month what the opposition could not accomplish in 11 years. Resignation of a minister, that too by declaring himself out of politics. On the strength of the same youth anger which till now was considered to be the opposition's own area. So is this fight only with the government ? Or it is also an attempt to show that the struggle of the youth is still the same old one. The stick is the same, the date is the same, the question is the same. The only thing that has changed is that now this fight is no longer of the students. Now the fight is about who will be held accountable for the anger of July 20 and the day this is decided, perhaps no one will remember the question of Sahil Lochap's eye. This is the unfortunate This is the unfortunate aspect of it. However, before leaving, we are giving you a different angle. Did Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation solve the three problems of the Prime Minister, Modi and the BJP? Because if you see this year, the biggest problem of BJP was UGC. The second major problem was the allegation of theft of donations in Ayodhya Ram Temple, which was a stain on the BJP which could hardly be erased but has been forgotten for now and the third issue regarding E20, people all over the country were continuously making videos with their vehicles, the government was getting cornered but Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation hit three targets with one arrow, firstly, Shravan, who was angry with the Bharatiya Janata Party in UGC in the country, is happy that the government has made another Shravan the Education Minister. Not only Prahlad Joshi, the government tackled the upper caste student who was angry on the issue of UGC through Prahlad upper caste student who was angry on the issue of UGC through Prahlad Joshi. Second was the topic of Ayodhya Ram Temple on which well-known personalities of the country were speaking. That stain did not go away but was it forgotten? And thirdly, the issue of E20, which was constantly cornering the government, was that issue also removed and as a bonus, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose image was becoming that of a dictator, who does not communicate, who does not resign, who is not accountable to the public, was the allegation against him erased forever? Think about it, did Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation benefit the opposition more or the ruling party? party? Think about it while leaving.
