"Title raises a legitimate question, but the video is more commentary than investigative reporting; some fluff but mostly delivers."

AI Summary

The video critiques the Supreme Court's refusal to hear a plea regarding police action against student protesters, linking it to systemic issues like exam paper leaks and unemployment. It contrasts the court's 'no time' stance with the police's readiness to use force, and examines the controversial 'cockroach' remark by Chief Justice Surya Kant. The speaker questions how the judiciary prioritizes cases and calls for dialogue to address the grievances of students.

Priority of Cases

[00:04] A few seconds or maybe a few minutes, that's all the video must have been in which the lawyer was trying to show the Chief Justice of India what had happened to the

[00:18] lawyer said, My Lord, please have a look at it once and the reply came that we have no interest in watching the video. The lawyer again said, Sir, please take a

[00:31] lawyer again said, Sir, please take a look once and this time the reply was again look once and this time the reply was again that do not waste our and your time. that do not waste our and your time. We don't have time.

[00:43] Okay, let's accept it. Let's assume that the Supreme Court has a lot of work. Is it Supreme Court has a lot of work. Is it even true? Lakhs of cases remain pending. The judge may not really have time. But then a question comes to mind

[00:58] But then a question comes to mind that in the same Delhi where the Chief Justice of India sits. It was time to use the stick. It was time to release tear gas. It was time to put up barricades. I

[01:14] time to put up barricades. I just didn't have time to talk to the students who were on strike for the last 20 days. There was just didn't have time to talk to the students who were on strike for the last 20 days. There was no time to no time to see the pain and suffering of the students

[01:27] because there was time to make them run and that is why the calculation is that there was time to use the lathi but there was no time to see the lathi. And this is not just about those children. This is about all of us because tomorrow it will be about someone else.

[01:43] This stick does not work by asking whether you are a journalist, belong to any party, are a journalist, belong to any party, are a worker, are a child. Yes. And that's why maybe that day the injury was only on one side. Even the policemen were injured. The

[01:57] police was saying that 118 of our soldiers were injured. His people were also sprayed, His people were also sprayed, beaten, and hurt. More than 60 children also reached the hospital. That means the stick was being used and there was pain. There was just

[02:14] means the stick was being used and there was pain. There was just no time, neither then nor now. If I had been able to listen to it, no time, neither then nor now. If I had been able to listen to it, this story would not have come to light. And this story started from where it has reached today.

[02:30] Judge Sahib is the person who said cockroach. And if I understand the judge's version, the judge later explained that his words were misinterpreted. He was not talking to unemployed children but to those with fake degrees. The

[02:44] not talking to unemployed children but to those with fake degrees. The media edited it and ran it. The media edited it and ran it. The same media which is being beaten at Jantar Mantar today and that is why we believe that whatever CGI is saying is the truth. The

[03:03] petition which was rejected on the grounds that it was not the time for truth has not been thrown away. I was immediately refused to listen saying that I will not listen today. I will not listen now. It is not a priority right now. The number may come next. It seems like everything is fine. There is an answer to everything. There is

[03:18] seems like everything is fine. There is an answer to everything. There is only one thing that remains unanswered: only one thing that remains unanswered: why was there no time to talk? And now is not the time to watch the video? Because it only takes a few minutes. Probably the

[03:33] same number of minutes it takes to drink a cup of tea. Whether it was the minister coming and talking to those children or the minister being removed or or

[03:47] And whether it is the ministry or the court. Tea keeps coming sir. But the interesting thing is that to seek justice for the children who were beaten with sticks, they had to

[04:00] go to the same place from where they had received the reward.

[04:14] what can I say, the one who gave the name is the judge, then to whom should we complain? That's all I can say. then to whom should we complain? That's all I can say. But this story is not of today friends and that is why today when it was said that there is no time,

[04:28] then we thought that today we should take out some time and and understand that if there was time then neither the policeman would have been beaten nor the understand that if there was time then neither the policeman would have been beaten nor the child would have been beaten nor the government would have to be so

[04:42] worried because this entire story was just a play of words, which were stuck in the hearts of the students as abuses, returned as a flag and when they were lathi charged then they

[05:00] returned as a flag and when they were lathi charged then they word cockroach. Hello, I am Shubhankar Mishra and the Supreme Court has

[05:14] refused to hear the case immediately today. The dignity. Therefore, we will not comment much on that. But today we will

[05:26] try to understand this video, where the fire started from where the fire started from and then we will understand how it is decided whether this topic will be heard or not because the country is going through a phase

[05:39] because the country is going through a phase where dialogue does not mean questioning anyone and dialogue is necessary for a healthy democracy. We keep doing it. You have encouraged us, so we will do it together with you and also request you to

[05:55] encourage us because raising questions and communicating is not that easy. If you support us, our strength will remain intact. Therefore, please subscribe to us and join us on WhatsApp channel so that

[06:10] when we make these videos with courage, you can share them with other people. The link You know how to subscribe to YouTube. Where did you start the fire? So there

[06:22] Where did you start the fire? So there was a word cockroach, how did that word, that statement come, you have heard it 50 times. I do n't need to tell you again and again. But still, let's go to n't need to tell you again and again. But still, let's go to 15 May 2026, you all know. While a

[06:34] case was being heard, the Chief Justice said that some unemployed youth are like cockroaches who later attack the system by becoming media, social media and RTI activists. social media and RTI activists.

[06:49] And this is where this whole story started. Now if you want to go deeper into this story, then understand it like this: let's imagine that somewhere in Kota, Delhi, Patna, a boy is studying on mobile

[07:02] and has told his mother that just give me one more year, I will clear the exam. that just give me one more year, I will clear the exam. which he said that I had not told him this. I told the fraudsters.

[07:19] And it is also accepted. But the problem is, friends, that words are arrows. Once they leave, they don't come back cleanly. And this arrow was fired at a time when gunpowder was already laid out. Which gunpowder?

[07:35] Which gunpowder? Paper leak and wrong exam. We will talk about that in detail. But then a man named Abhijeet Deep, who is sitting at Jantar Mantar today, But then a man named Abhijeet Deep, who is sitting at Jantar Mantar today,

[07:49] caught it. You know, created an account on Instagram and then the story progressed from there. When people made it into a meme and after the meme it even led to protests. But today when it was said in the Supreme Court that there is no time to watch the video of the beating on the way from Jantar Mantar to Delhi Parliament House.

[08:05] no time to watch the video of the beating on the way from Jantar Mantar to Delhi Parliament House. So the thought came to my mind that

[08:18] Chief Justice sir has given his clarification. You know that cleaning. But let us tell you a government figure. According to PLFS, the unemployment rate in India in May 2026 was 5.5, the highest in 11 months. This may sound

[08:34] small to you. But they change in faces. Lakhs of forms come to UPSC every year. There are only 1000 seats. That means, are only 1000 seats. That means,

[08:51] UP Constable paper leaked in 204. The exams of 60 lakh children had to be cancelled and conducted again. Sir, do you know how many cities will have a population of 60 lakhs? How many countries will waste overnight. This list is very long, from Vyapam to SSC. The

[09:06] leak of NEET 2024 has been proved. Arrest took place in Bihar. The Supreme Arrest took place in Bihar. The Supreme Court itself had then said that even 0.001% negligence would not be tolerated. But then came 2026 and then there was another arrest. Of the coaching

[09:23] then came 2026 and then there was another arrest. Of the coaching director. 136 questions came out from his phone. 111 questions matched the paper. The deal was done for ₹ lakh. That means some child was working hard for three-five years and for someone else only ₹ lakh came out,

[09:39] this story and at the same time you have to think about that child who had just studied and now you should weigh the words of the judge sahib, the person who

[09:51] strict action should be taken against him 100 times but why not question the market in which the paper is sold for ₹ 5 lakh, then the cockroach is the one who is standing in the line or the one who is selling the line.

[10:05] is standing in the line or the one who is selling the line. this entire market is

[10:18] adjacent to that Kota room or Delhi or Patna room. And what happened on the day the video has been denied? That day thousands of children from Delhi, Patna and Kota had come to Delhi. There will be many more. I assume there were

[10:32] political people there. There will be Aam Aadmi Party, Samajwadi Party, Chandrashekhar Azad, JNU and many more. Many people will also be anti-government. But there were children too, in large numbers. And those who did not reach there were also supporting through social media.

[10:49] also supporting through social media. You know this. When that crowd increases, the mood of Delhi changes. Police say that Section 163 was imposed. The barricade was broken. There was stone pelting. More than 118

[11:02] barricade was broken. There was stone pelting. More than 118 soldiers were injured. 70 people have been detained and an n't abuse because there is one story left. The protesters say that lathi charge took place in response. Tear gas shells were fired and more than 60 children are admitted in the hospital

[11:17] and there is no count of how many have been hit with sticks on their legs and backside not always have a flower in its hand and every stick also does not work as per the rules, on the one hand there is the

[11:30] student whose dream is lying trapped on the road. On the other hand, that soldier probably has an unemployed brother sitting in his house. Whoever fills the form next year will think that this March release was for him only. That means one's compulsion was on the road and the other's was in uniform. The

[11:44] stick belonged to the policeman. The order was not his. Please understand this also. Let me tell you one more picture of that night. There is heavy rain after the lathi charge. The children did not run away. Please pay attention to this. Those who were called cockroaches remained

[11:58] attention to this. Those who were called cockroaches remained there. Gandhi came, then Kejriwal came, then Diljit's tweet came. Then everyone in the country and the world came to talk

[12:12] and then JP Nadda went to meet him in the hospital. Now let's return to the story from where we started. we started. And ask this question,

[12:31] I have great respect for our Supreme Court and I have no intention of disrespecting them even a bit. India is governed by the Constitution and we all have faith in the Supreme Court. But still the question is

[12:45] who will come first in the fight for justice? Because when this news came that the lawyer requested to show the video and was told that there was no time,

[12:59] However, let me make it clear that the petition has not been thrown away. Just listening immediately is forbidden. The number may come next. The burden on the courts is also real. It is true that millions of cases have been pending for years. And this does not seem to be an enmity with any one movement because this

[13:13] week also an urgent hearing was sought in a case of demolition of a house and the answer was the same. and the answer was the same. a question arises that when everything cannot be heard immediately then how is it decided

[13:29] what should be heard first? Someone's land, someone's company's money, a video of a child being someone's company's money, a video of a child being beaten? Who came in line? By what scale is this decision made? I am not answering. I am just

[13:42] not answering. I am just trying to ask questions using my democratic rights. With all due respect. Because the day the common man starts feeling that his turn does not come in the line of justice, on

[13:57] that day the court building will remain standing but the foundation of trust will probably shake but the foundation of trust will probably shake and I do not want this, this fear is justified

[14:17] every powerful person has a lens, the leader has the vision of votes, the media has the vision of TRP, yes they are accepting, the strategist has the opportunity, the opposition has the vision of gaining power

[14:31] opportunity, the opposition has the vision of gaining power and that is why it is important to ask the question that who is with the children and who is with themselves in the name of children and this question is not betrayal of children but their protection because when movements are divided among the chairs then the issues are

[14:45] left on the way, you will remember 2011. There was a movement from Jantar Mantar. A party emerged from the movement. Who got the power ? Leader, court or police? Power lies with those

[14:57] ? Leader, court or police? Power lies with those who have time. Ok. Hope to see you in the future. Because this is not just the story of NEET.

[15:11] This is not just the story of a protest. This is the story of an entire generation that was promised. If you read and write, you will become great. If you study, you will progress. And whoever read it saw that the staircase leading up was

[15:30] Now in this story, when leaders have come, strategists have come, media has come, singers have come, actors have come, influencers have come. The child who is

[15:42] no longer in this world or the child who is preparing is still in his room preparing is still in his room wondering whether his next attempt will be honest or not. And believe me, that boy does

[15:56] not want any revolution. He just needs three things. He should be confident when he goes to take an exam. He should be confident when he goes to take an exam. Sell ​​the paper. Second, recruitment should be done on time and should be done Sell ​​the paper. Second, recruitment should be done on time and should be done on time. And thirdly,

[16:12] if something goes wrong, then that too should come up in court.

[16:25] His pain should be understood as a priority. It's just that simple. The children seem like sparks and it is the nature of a spark to light both the stove and the house. The only difference is who handled it? How? The

[16:41] system still has time. The government still has time. Let this spark become a light. Listen to these. Respond, communicate , resolve problems.

[16:53] Because many times sparks do not wait rest before leaving, I also ask you, who do you think is most responsible in this entire story, the

[17:05] comment section is open but you feel that this message should is open but you feel that this message should reach that boy in that room, his pain should be reach that boy in that room, his pain should be removed, become our strength, we will become your

[17:19] strength, we will take your point forward, you take our point forward. Keep asking questions because no matter what is said to those who ask questions, history is witness that they do history is witness that they do not disappear. Hello like a cockroach.
