00:00Breaking news coming in for you.
00:02This is Missing Suresh Gopi Returns to Tritsur Union Minister Debunked Opposition Chargers.
00:09Left had claimed that Suresh Gopi is missing from the bastion.
00:12To meet workers hurt in CPM BJP clash.
00:17Congress student wing lodged a missing complaint at the same time.
00:21Shibhimol, KG, joins me on the broadcast to bring us more details at this given point.
00:25Shibhimol, a very good morning to you.
00:27Can you take us through what details are we picking up?
00:32Well, Shreya, if in the last few days anybody was discussed in Kerala,
00:37in Kerala's political picture, it has to be Suresh Gopi.
00:40Because there are multiple issues.
00:42Most importantly, the voter fraud list, voter fraud allegation.
00:45And also, a missing complaint was lodged against him saying that, you know,
00:49he's missing since the arrest of two Malayali nuns in Chathasgarh.
00:53And, you know, he was not found, he was not seen anywhere in Kerala.
00:57He was not responding to any of the allegations raised by the opposition against him.
01:02So, you know, now putting an end to all of it, he has come back to Kerala or to Trishur in particular.
01:08He was received today by the BJP workers there.
01:10So, yesterday evening, there was a major clash that broke out, vocal, you know, verbal sloganeering that broke out between the CPIM and the BJP workers.
01:19Initially, the CPM workers marched to Suresh Gopi's office.
01:23The police blocked them midway.
01:24And some of the workers poured black oil on the signed board of his office, after which the BJP took out a march to CPIM's office.
01:33The CPM workers and police stopped them between.
01:35There was major, you know, verbal sloganing that took place against each other.
01:39So, Trishur has become the political hotspot of Kerala with, you know, the Congress and the CPM strengthening its allegation that Suresh Gopi, the first and the only BJP MP from Kerala, won through voterless manipulation.
01:53So, he has not yet spoken about it.
01:55He has reached Trishur.
01:57He will be meeting the workers of BJP.
02:00BJP says that some of the workers were injured in the, you know, in the class that broke out yesterday.
02:05So, he will be meeting them first, following which we are expecting him to speak because, you know, there's multiple allegations.
02:11And also, when it comes to the voterless fraud, it's also about his family who shifted their votes from Tiruvannathapuram to Trishur.
02:18Now, that's the allegation that the left and the Congress have been raising that, you know, despite being residents of Tiruvannathapuram, they all voted.
02:24Around 11 members of his family voted in Trishur.
02:27So, all of this, these are things that he will have to answer and speak about and, you know, give a reply to the opposition.
02:34So, we're expecting him to speak once he returns, you know, once he comes out of the hospital after meeting the injured BJP workers.
02:40Right, Shabimol, thank you for bringing us all those details with regards to this particular news that we are picking up from Kerala at this given point.
02:47Viewers, that's all that we have for now on this very matter.
02:50We're keeping a close track on how it proceeds.
02:54With that, we're now shifting our focus to a story which is now gaining momentum in the national arena.
03:01Months after the Pehelgaam terror attack, the United States and Pakistan held a fresh round of counterterrorism talks in Islamabad.
03:10The U.S. State Department described the dialogue as successful, stating it aimed to boost cooperation against terrorism and tackle emerging threats.
03:18While both sides reportedly discussed ways to counter-terrorist groups and enhance joint security efforts,
03:25the talks made no mention of Pakistan's alleged role in supporting terrorism.
03:30This silence has raised questions now, especially in India, where concerns persist over Pakistan's links to cross-border terror.
03:38The talks also came just a day after Washington officially designated the Balochistan Liberation Army and its armed wing, the Majid Brigade,
03:46as foreign terrorist organizations signaling a selective approach to terrorism.
03:51The diplomats here are committed to both nations.
03:57I can tell you also that there has been a U.S.-Pakistan counterterrorism dialogue that was established.
04:04At this dialogue in Islamabad, the United States and Pakistan reaffirmed their shared commitment to combating terrorism in all its forms
04:12and manifestations during this latest round of the talks in Islamabad.
04:17The United States and Pakistan discussed ways to enhance cooperation, to counter-terrorist threats,
04:23and I think that for the region and for the world, the United States working with both those nations is good news
04:30and will promote a future that's beneficial.
04:32Now, viewers, let's take you through what exactly is happening in terms of U.S. and Pakistan's strategic embrace that we are now coming to witness.
04:45Trump first hosts Asim Munir, Munir's, in fact, second trip to the United States, post-Operation Sundoor.
04:52Then we see an oil trade deal where Trump announces energy and trade agreement with Pakistan, which also comes in as quite a shock.
04:59Post that, a Pakistan delegation is to visit U.S.'s biggest Pakistani team, is to tour the United States for eight days.
05:09It's a massive delegation that's to take this trip to the United States.
05:13And post that U.S.-Pakistani crypto deal, again, there we see Trump backed the firm's science blockchain deal with Pakistan.
05:22That is another aspect that we are looking at.
05:24Again, there's a $6 billion IMF bailout that was supported by the United States, wherein despite the veto power, we see U.S. backs the IMF aid to Pakistan.
05:37Again, the United States labels the BLA a terror group.
05:41This is also a recent development, wherein the U.S. designates the Baloch Liberation Army as a terrorist group.
05:47And Kashmir mediation offer has also come in, wherein Trump revives the Kashmir mediation talks.
05:54This is the particular place, or rather the circumstances that have come to develop when we speak of U.S. and Pakistan relations.
06:02With that, Shivani Sharma joins me on the broadcast to bring us more details and context into this very matter.
06:07Shivani, a very good morning to you.
06:09Very firstly, let's understand the developments that's been taking place between the Pakistan and the United States.
06:15One by one, we are seeing them, in fact, one would say cement their relationship at this given point.
06:23We have to understand in a broader geopolitical aspect, we see that on one hand, India has been fighting terror.
06:30It has been countering terror.
06:32And even as we speak, there are counter-terror operations that are going on in Jammu and Kashmir.
06:36So who are these terrorists?
06:37These terrorists are the ones who have been pushed inside Indian boundaries from Pakistan.
06:43They've been getting their training, they are being sponsored in Pakistan, they are being trained in Pakistan, and they are being pushed into Pakistan.
06:50And India has rejected this hypocrisy, not only from Pakistan, much from a number of countries, including United States, where India and Pakistan are being leveled as same.
07:01India has been fighting terror since decades now.
07:04And there are evidences that India has put across on Global Forum, including the United Nations Security Council, where Pakistan has been accused.
07:12Pakistan has been pushing terror inside Indian boundaries.
07:16There are enough evidences of this, Shia.
07:18And now these counter-terror talks that are happening inside Pakistan is the biggest irony, biggest hypocrisy of the United States, as well as Pakistan.
07:28Because after the Behlgam attack, or in Operation Sundar, the Indian strikes, more than 100 terrorists have been killed inside Pakistan.
07:38And not only this, the terror operations, the counter-terror operations continue, but Pakistan has been trying to play a victim card.
07:46Pakistan has been misleading the world, misleading the countries, and it has been claiming that it is fighting against terror.
07:54So this is actually quite contradictory to its nature.
07:58And Pakistan has been the biggest harbourer of terrorism on its soil.
08:02Shriya.
08:04Raj Srivani, thank you for bringing us those details.
08:06Viewers, in fact, as we speak of the Pakistan-United States relationship and how that has been cementing or getting reinforced,
08:15let's also take you through another aspect associated with Pakistan itself.
08:20Three days, three threats.
08:22Pakistan's top brass has been unleashing a flurry of warnings against India.
08:27Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif warns India and says India cannot snatch even a drop of Pakistan's water
08:33and that they will teach India a lesson if they try to do so.
08:37Sharif's warning, you'll be left holding your ears.
08:40His statement comes, remember, after India put the 1960 Indus Water Treaty in abeyance following the Pehelgham terror attack.
08:48Prime Minister Modi had firmly stated that blood and water cannot be flowing together.
08:53Now, this warning comes after former Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari already issued a threat to India
08:59over the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, vowing that if war breaks out, Pakistan will fight to reclaim all six rivers.
09:07And remember, again, earlier, Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Aseem Munir has issued a nuclear threat to India
09:15during his US visit, the recent one that he made, warning that if Pakistan were to go down, it would take half the world down with it.
09:23Let's listen in to some of the reactions, beginning with what the Prime Minister of Pakistan had to say.
09:28Let's listen in to some of the comments.
09:58Let's listen in to some of the comments.
10:18that if it is the case of war, we can also compare them in the war,
10:22and those who are six or six of you can do it again.
10:28And if this is the case of war,
10:31India has talked about war,
10:33but if the war is the case of war,
10:35then we will tell the President of the government
10:38that we don't go back, we don't go back.
10:46Well, I think that that's an important distinction.
10:49I'm not surprised that Pakistani officials are engaging in saber rattling
10:57and playing the nuclear threat card.
11:01We've heard that before.
11:03What we had not heard before is this sort of nuclear threat from American soil.
11:13And if this was the only incident,
11:17I would find it rather unremarkable.
11:21But what we are currently witnessing is a trend,
11:27where it appears that this second Trump administration
11:33is tilting towards Pakistan and away from India.
11:40We've actually seen it throughout the course of this whole summer.
11:46Now, remember, India decided to withhold the Indus Water Treaty to Pakistan
11:52post a deadly Pahlkam terror attack,
11:54as Prime Minister Modi firmly stated,
11:57that blood and water will not be flowing together.
12:00Immediately a leader of India,
12:04from India to Pakistan and abroad.
12:04Perhaps the secret of the Russia of Russia is under the leadership of Russia,
12:07which has been oldu by the force of Russia.
12:09As a term,
12:11we are telling of the fear of Russia and the capital of Russia,
12:14which is the peace of Russia and the country.
12:16So when we are trying to overcome the world,
12:18we are taking a step.
12:18the Chi Pahlkam terror,
12:20which is the law of Russia and the territory of Russia is under the peace.
12:22The law of Russia is under the construction.
12:24The law of Russia is under the government,
12:25and the law of Russia and the law of Russia is under the law of Russia.
12:26Now, Pranayupad comes out to, in fact, decode the current situation and what exactly are
12:42we to make of these threats being issued by Pakistan time and again.
12:47Let's listen in.
12:50The statement of Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif came at a time when Pakistan
12:56is grappling with floods in the same river about which the Pakistani Prime Minister was
13:01making these claims that India wouldn't be able to stop water in these rivers.
13:05However, this ground situation remains that Pakistani people are, you know, are complaining
13:11that their government has failed to manage the flood management there, be it Indus River
13:17or be it Satlaj or be it Rabi or be it Piaz.
13:20So all these rivers which are like, you know, which flows into Pakistan via the Indus, you
13:26know, river basin system, the people are compelled and people are suffering as far as the flood
13:33situation is concerned in Pakistan.
13:35However, having said that, Pakistan knows and it very well that it is incumbent on the Pakistani
13:43government to manage the Indus Water Treaty because it was Pakistan who did not fulfill
13:47its commitment to rework the Indus Water Treaty.
13:52It became difficult for India to sustain or to go along with this Indus Water Treaty because
13:57the situation has changed not only in terms of the population, in terms of the water resource
14:02requirements, but also in terms of the terrorism because the precondition of Indus Water Treaty
14:07remained a friendly relation between the two states which never happened.
14:12Still, India went along with the commitment of this treaty despite having wars of 1965 to
14:211971 to 1999 Kargil War to Operation Sindhu and, you know, at that time, after Pahalgam terror
14:28attack, India decided to put Indus Water Treaty into abeyance and it is in abeyance.
14:33India did not nullify the treaty, India put it in abeyance, so much so, so that the Pakistani
14:40government can work out a mechanism through which this mechanism or this arrangement could
14:45work.
14:46Now, just a few days back, Army Chief Upendra Dwivedi mocked Asim Munir stating that just
14:55because the neighbouring nation bestowed this title upon him, they have disillusioned themselves
14:59to believe that they won.
15:00The system is something which we realize in a big way because victory is in mind.
15:07It's always in mind.
15:08It's always in mind.
15:09If you ask to a Pakistani whether you lost or won, you say, my chief has become field marshal,
15:14we must have won only, that's why he has become field marshal.
15:18So, what I am saying that this is how you can influence the population.
15:24So it is the domestic population, it is the adversaries population and it is the neutral population.
15:31Can rising powers be accommodated?
15:33That's a question you have to ask and you will get the answer yourself.
15:37So then we made inroads through our own way.
15:40And the narrative management system by getting the social kind of a sensitive index, then getting
15:46to use the tweeters and other handles from other places.
15:49So the strategic messaging which was there was very, very important.
15:52And that's why the first messaging we did that, okay, justice done, Ops Hindu, that hit
15:58the maximum I am told in the word today, the number of hits which received.
16:02So that was the strategic messaging by a simple message.
16:05And the logo which you see all over the world was created by a left-hand colonel and a NCO.
16:10So we prepared all this when we were going in for this kind of Ops Hindu operations.
16:14We were also going for these things because narrative management system is important.
16:18So now, viewers, let's take you through all the threats that have been issued by Pakistan
16:25in the last couple of days to India.
16:28Threat number one, which has in fact only recently come in, where Prime Minister Shahbaz
16:33Sharif has come out to say that India cannot be snatching a drop of water from Pakistan.
16:38Again, threat number two, they've said that India will be left holding their ears if they
16:44do end up taking their water.
16:46Threat number three, this is one that had in fact been said, issued by Asim Munir himself.
16:50We are a nuclear nation.
16:52If we go down, half the world goes with us.
16:56Threat number four, let India build a dam.
16:58We will hit it with 10 missiles.
17:01Again, this is over the Indus water that we are speaking of.
17:05Indus isn't India's property.
17:07We have no missile shortage.
17:09This is again that particular threat that was issued by Bilawal Bhutto.
17:14Can target Mukesh Ambani's Jamnagar refinery and India's economy.
17:18This is again another threat that had come in from the Pakistani side as well.
17:22Threat seven, we will begin from India's east where the resources lie.
17:28They will attack from India's east where resources lie.
17:31Again, threat number eight, they say that every Pakistani is ready for war with India.
17:36And threat nine, the final one is India is Mercedes while Pakistan is a dump truck.
17:43That's the analogy that was made by Pakistan at this given point.
17:46So these are the kind of threats, these are the kind of statements that we've been witnessing
17:50coming in from the Pakistani side at this given point against India.
17:54This is where the situation stands in terms of the threats that's being issued by Pakistan
17:59to India.
18:00In fact, most of them coming in just in the last three days.
18:04This is first Asim Munir, then Bilawal Bhutto, and now the Prime Minister of the country
18:09itself, Shahbaz Sharif.
18:10Now viewers, we have breaking news for you.
18:34This is with regards to Prime Minister Modi's visit and whether there will be a visit at
18:40all to the United States or not.
18:41So now the government sources, let us tell you, have come out to say that Modi's US trip
18:46has still not been finalized.
18:48Government sources have come out to say that no decision on the Prime Minister's UNGA visit
18:53yet.
18:54Again, uncertainty over Modi's visit to the United States, which was earlier said to be possible
19:00to be taking place in September.
19:02But now the government sources have come out to say that there is still no clarity on that.
19:07There is still no particular announcement or confirmation on that.
19:12It is indeed an important meeting if it is to take place at all, given the current equation
19:21that India and the United States have come to share with the tariff war being underway,
19:26with plenty being said with regards to India and Pakistan's relationship as well by the
19:32United States.
19:34There have been claims, counterclaims galore.
19:37And at this given point, this is what we are bringing to you, that the government sources
19:42have said that the trip has still not been finalized.
19:44Whether the trip should take place at all in September is something we are still awaiting
19:51a confirmation on.
19:55This is the big news.
19:57We were speaking of a time when we see tensions between India and the United States.
20:04We have seen the tariff war.
20:06We are in fact still awaiting, if at all there is a bigger trade deal that comes to light,
20:12given the particular tariff situation.
20:15The tensions have been high between the two nations.
20:19Even though it is a tariff war that we have witnessed over the last weeks, the diplomatic tension
20:26between the two nations has also been on the edge at this given point.
20:32And which is why a meet like this becomes even more important.
20:38Now whether this meet will at all take place, that is something we are still awaiting a confirmation on.
20:44Pranay Upadhyay joins me on the broadcast to bring us more details at this point.
20:47Pranay, if at all this meeting is to take place, it will be a crucial one.
20:52Given the current situation that is underway, the diplomatic tension that is prevalent between
20:59both the nations, but yet we don't see a confirmation.
21:02Governments also have come out to say that the trip is yet to be confirmed.
21:05There is still no final yes or no that is coming from them.
21:10Absolute to share.
21:11Prime Minister Nareen Modi's visit or probable visit to the United Nations General Assembly
21:16has not been decided as yet.
21:18And therefore, the probability of him meeting President Donald Trump remains unconfirmed
21:24because that can only happen if Prime Minister travels.
21:28And the travel plan has not been firmed, not been finalized as yet.
21:32And that's why this is what we are learning from the government sources.
21:36But however, as you said, if they meet, then obviously this is going to be a very crucial thing.
21:42But before any high-level meeting, you know the procedure that before any high-level meeting,
21:47various other issues need to be worked out.
21:49And for India, given the current state of India, US ties, many things need to be worked out.
21:55And we are expecting a US team to visit India.
21:58And only further movement on tariff can only be confirmed or can only take place after that meeting.
22:04That is a very crucial round of, you know, sixth round of bilateral trade agreement meeting.
22:08We are expecting a US team to visit in New Delhi for this sixth round.
22:12And, you know, that we haven't, like the Indian side hasn't got the exact travel itinerary
22:19or the name of the people, those who will be traveling to India for these trade negotiations as yet.
22:24But the Indian side remain committed for the engagement with the US side
22:29on, you know, taking forward the trade negotiations and trade talks.
22:35Right, Pranay, absolutely.
22:39It is quite a crucial time that we are, in fact, awaiting this very announcement or, in fact, confirmation to come in.
22:47We are speaking of the tariff war viewers as we also take you through another detailed analysis
22:53of a certain aspect of this tariff war.
22:55This is how India has come out to say no to Trump's blackmail.
22:59What are the exact parts that Modi government had said absolutely a no to?
23:03Low tariff on corn, soybean, apple and cotton and ethanol.
23:07These are some of the products to which Modi government has said no.
23:11Again, entry of genetically modified maize, soy, canola, cotton.
23:16Again, the Modi government says a no.
23:18These are the aspects on which the Modi government has come out to say no to Trump's blackmail.
23:24Again, entry of American dairy products, a big no to.
23:28Access for U.S. fishery products in Indian markets.
23:32Even to that, the Modi government has said a strict no.
23:36So, these are certain aspects that we are bringing to you that India has been very firm on.
23:40That this is a big no from India's side to Trump's attempt to blackmail India.
23:45With that, let's also take you through another firm stance that's been taken on by India at this given point.
23:52Must protect our farmers and farm produce.
23:56That is the first reaction that we had seen from Prime Minister Modi on the very tariff situation itself.
24:02He had said that there shall be no compromise on farmers in India.
24:05Again, flood of U.S. products will harm Indian farmers.
24:09That's a stance that India has very strictly taken.
24:12Again, they cannot be allowing the United States agricultural products to be flooding Indian markets.
24:18That is, again, a place that we have set our foot firmly on.
24:23Again, no U.S. dairy since animal products are used to feed cows there.
24:29This is, again, this is a sensitive matter as well that we are speaking of to which the government has taken quite a firm stance at this given point.
24:38So, this is why the situation stands in terms of the tariff war, in terms of how diplomatically as well things have turned out.
24:45What's the stance that's been taken by India to Trump's blackmailing attempts on the tariff situation.
24:50But that's all that we have for you on this story for the moment.
24:53Let's take a look at some breaking news that's coming in now.
24:55Now, viewers, this is from the domestic arena, wherein the Enforcement Directorate's heat is now being seen on ex-Indian cricketer Suresh Raina.
25:11Raina has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in illegal betting app case.
25:17Again, Raina has been summoned in connection with the 1xbet app and Raina is to be grilled by ED in Delhi today itself.
25:25Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina has been summoned by the ED today in connection with the ongoing probe where several other celebrities' names have already been coming up.
25:36They have also been summoned for questioning that we've been witnessing over the last couple of weeks.
25:40This is illegal betting platforms.
25:42The case is related to illegal betting platforms.
25:44And Raina has now joined a growing list of these celebrities who are under-scanner for promoting illegal betting platforms.
25:51On Monday itself, actor Rana Daghubati had also appeared before ED in Hyderabad.
25:55In May, Telangana police had filed cases against 25 popular actors, which included Rana Daghubati as well as Prakash Raj.
26:03And the ED is probing the financial transactions and digital trails of several other celebrities that were named in the airfire,
26:09which included actors, Manchu Lakshmi, Nidhi Agarwal, Ananya Nagala and television anchor Srimukhi as well.
26:15But now, adding up to that very list is Suresh Raina, the former cricketer.
26:21Munish Pandey joins me on the broadcast to bring us more details.
26:24Munish, a very good morning to you.
26:25This is what we are picking up currently.
26:27Suresh Raina joining the list of celebrities and personalities to be in fact probed in this very betting app case.
26:35What more are you picking up?
26:36Good morning, Shreya.
26:38As far as this betting app cases are concerned, remember, there are at least eight different cases
26:44which the enforcement directorate is probing in different parts of the country.
26:47There are cases in Mumbai, there are cases in Delhi, there are cases in Chhattisgarh, and there are cases in southern part of India.
26:54There are different cases, but in all the cases, what is common is the names of celebrities.
27:00There are almost 100 celebrities from Bollywood, Tollywood, and even from India that they are underscored from the enforcement directorate.
27:10In the recent development, the enforcement directorate has asked Suresh Raina to appear before them in the national capital.
27:17There will be questions regarding the 1x bet app case with the ED's proving.
27:21The ED's suspect, according to sources, is that Suresh Raina is one of the benefactory of proceeds of time.
27:28And it is not for the first time, Shreya, that Suresh Raina has been called in by the enforcement directorate.
27:33Earlier also, he was summoned by Suresh Raina, but he decided to skip this summon.
27:38Along with Suresh Raina, ex-pricketer Shikhar Dhawan was also called in by the enforcement directorate.
27:45He is yet to appear before the ED.
27:46But today, what we have been confirmed by our sources within the enforcement directorate is that by 11 o'clock,
27:52Suresh Raina will appear before the ED and is going to be a long day for Suresh Raina
27:57because there are a lot of questions which Suresh Raina has to answer,
28:01especially in regards to the proceeds of time, which, according to ED, he is benefited from.
28:09Ranesh, thank you for bringing us all those details with regards to where it currently stands
28:13and what all information we have at this given point,
28:16with Suresh Raina being, in fact, called in by the enforcement directorate for questioning.
28:20Breaking news that's now coming in from Jumur and Krishmay.
28:23This is, in fact, concerning news that we're picking up at this given point.
28:26Forces thwart Pakistan infiltration bid in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir.
28:32Bat action foiled by the army in the Uri sector of Baramulla in North Kashmir.
28:36Terrorists tried to, in fact, carry out a bat attack on a forward post.
28:41The Allat army jawans retaliated immediately in the ensuring gunfight.
28:47One soldier impact has been critically injured.
28:49In fact, search operations are currently in even underway as we speak.
28:54Meir Farid joins me on the broadcast to bring us more details on this very story at this given point,
28:58on this very input that we're picking up.
29:01Meir, a very good morning to you.
29:03Please take us through, firstly, what are the details you are picking up on the ground there?
29:07Search operations still are underway as we are given to understand.
29:11Well, it's a border action team attack that has been repulsed and the army retaliated.
29:20Now, this has happened in the Uri sector on a forward post of the LOC when using darkness's cover,
29:27a bat action team, which usually is a mix of Bak army and probably Diyash and Lashkar Kada,
29:33they tried to launch this attack with the element of surprise on the forward post,
29:39but the army jawans were alert.
29:41They retaliated, but unfortunately in this, we come to know that one army jawan has been killed in action.
29:48He was killed in the first exchange or the first burst of gunfire.
29:51Since the army has brought in more troops, they have been mobilized and scanned.
29:57A sweep of the area is on.
29:58They're trying to search and ensure that there are no more threats.
30:01Probably after carrying this attack or after they were pushed back,
30:05they have slid back to the POK side.
30:08So, that's the latest.
30:09It is a time when the army is on the highest alert on the line of control
30:13because it's 15th of August and before that,
30:16there are chances that the terrorists try to do something big, sensational,
30:21to be in the news and probably this attack seems to be something
30:25with the intent of getting that object to.
30:28But the army has retaliated and as far as the LOC is concerned,
30:32the army is on the highest alert all along the line of control.
30:36And also, since there are inputs from intelligences that launchpads are active
30:40and there could be infiltration bits in the coming time.
30:43Back to you.
30:44Right, Meir.
30:44So, Meir, at this given point,
30:46is there any information that has come in with regards to how many terrorists
30:51we may be looking at?
30:52How many may be in fact in hiding at this point?
30:55Well, no such clarity as far as the army is concerned.
31:02Our sources say that the number could be anywhere between 3 to 5.
31:06Normally also, if you go by past instances,
31:09whenever such attacks have happened,
31:11the group that carried out this attack,
31:14the number has been between 3 to 5.
31:16So, probably, in this case also, that could be the number.
31:20And to hunt them down, search and combing effort is underway.
31:25OODI has been, in fact, in the past has also seen such bad action.
31:30A couple of years back in the OODI sector,
31:32a similar attack was repulsed by the army.
31:34And in this case also, it seems that the army was on alert.
31:38But in the first burst of gunfire,
31:40this casualty, as far as the army is concerned, has happened.
31:44So, army is on the highest alert.
31:45And since it is the Independence Day,
31:48so every year before this,
31:50already there is an alert sounded,
31:52as far as security agencies are concerned,
31:54in the hinterland and also on the line of control.
31:57Right, Meir.
31:58Thank you for bringing us all those details.
31:59We are going to keep a close track of how things proceed on that very front,
32:04as the search operations are still underway in Uri
32:07for this very particular terrorist attack that's been, in fact, infiltrated.
32:12It's a bid that's now been foiled by the army there.
32:16With that, viewers, we're now taking your focus to another big story.
32:19This is from the political arena of the country.
32:21The face-off between the opposition and the election commission
32:25has only been intensifying.
32:27The vote-chory showdown between Rahul Gandhi and the election commission
32:30is only escalating with each passing day,
32:33wherein sources now have come to tell India Today
32:35that during the India block huddle held at Congress Chief Malikarjun Kargay's residence,
32:40Rahul claimed Congress lost by 70 seats,
32:44by the margin of less than 50,000 votes.
32:46And alleging the same module was used in Bengaluru Central,
32:49with the party now probing whether BJP victories were genuine or not.
32:53But as per the data, BJP lost 48 seats with the margins less than 50,000,
32:59while the Congress lost only 28 under this margin.
33:03The BJP has hit back hard, accusing Rahul Gandhi, at the same time,
33:06of thinking he's above the law and treating the election commission like a UPA cabinet.
33:12Meanwhile, Minta Devi, a Bihar resident who was allegedly listed
33:16as a 124-year-old woman on the election commission's voter list,
33:21slammed those who committed the clerical error,
33:23and also questioned the opposition MPs who protested over special intensive revision
33:26by wearing T-shirts featuring her name and alleged age.
33:30Let's take a look at some of the reactions that's come into the story so far.
33:33Let's take a look at some of the issues that we have to go to the election commission's voter list.
33:48Rahul Gandhi Ji نے प्रमान और तत्थे के साथ कुछ जानकारी पुब्लिक में शेयर करी है.
33:53सबसे पहला reaction आना चाहिए election commission के तरफ से,
33:57कि उसकी पुद जांच कराएं, एक निश्पक्ष पारदर्शी जांच होनी चाहिए,
34:01और प्रमान एविडिन्स के साथ अगर पुब्लिक डोमेन में रखे हैं,
34:04तो पुद जिम्मेदारी से रखे हैं.
34:05मुझे समझ में नहीं आ रहा कि निर्वाचन आयोग की जो फील्डिंग और बैटिंग भाजपा क्यों कर रही है?
34:11बारतियन्ता पार्टी तो सरकार में है, लेकि निर्वाचन आयोग एक समधानिक संस्ता है,
34:16वो खुद सक्षम है, सुप्रीम कोट ने का कि कॉंगेस प्राटी का वोटर रिस दीजिए, उसी दिन इलेक्शन कमिशन ने अपने संचोधन करकर कानूं बदल दिया,
34:24पता नहीं क्यों सरकार क्यों पीछे हट रही थी इससे, यह हमें नहीं मालूम, इसका जवाब लोगों को चाहिए,
34:38राहुल जी ने एक मुद्दा उठाया है, वोट चोरी का, सबूतों के साथ उठाया है, और अब यह सिर्फ एक असेम्ली सेगमेंट का उठाया है, और उसमें भी पचास बूत का है, आप सोचिए अगर एक असेम्ली पे एक लाख वोट फर्जी हैं, तो सोचिए कि पूरे �
35:08राहुल जी ने जिस तरीके से प्रेस को और पूरे देश को बताया है कि लोग ए समझने लिए सच्चा ही है इसमें गाउ गाउ तक जनता तक वोटर तक ये बात पहुची है कि राहुल जी बोले उस सच है उसे की सब से आगे हो रहा है
35:24पार्लमेंट में प्रोटेस्ट उस बात को लेकर हो रही है जहां पर वोटों के साथ दकैती हो दी है मैं तो वोट चोरी भी नहीं कहती हूँ एक शड़ेंतर की तरीके से वोटर अडिशन हो रहे हैं और मन माने तरीके से काम हो रहा है
35:38नदा जी ने लोग सब चनाव के समय दोशना की थी वन नेशन वन पार्टी क्योंकि वो खुद अपने आप से जनता का वन विश्वास जीत का दो सो चालीस परत के रह गया है अव एलेक्शन के तंदे से अपना तागे पूरा करने की बोश्चिस कर रहे हैं तो कुछ प्र�
36:08अपने की बोश्चिस कर रहे हैं जो है वोट की दकैती कर रहा है
36:38बीजेपी के शारे पेड़े बीजेपी के अंदभक्त लोग जो है वो कहते हैं कि मोदी जी का करिश्मा है जो चुनाओं जीनते जाते हैं चाहे किसी विराजी में हो लेकिन सच्चाई ये है कि वोट की दकैती पूर्जोर तरीके से हो जी है अब जब जब खुलासा होने ल
37:08Now there's a curious case of Shakun Rani, a Bengaluru voter who Rahul claimed voted twice. Shakun Rani fact-checked the Lok Sabha leader of opposition's claim saying that she has one voter ID card and only voted once. Let's listen in.
37:38अब लोग senior citizen है हम एक वोटर आइडिकार है हमारे पास एक हमने वोट डाला है तो कोई आदम ही अगर यह समझता है कि उसको हम आजार बार बोलने से या प्रेस में डालने से या टीवी पर दिखाने से वह सच हो जाएगा वो तभी सच नहीं हो सकता हमने वोट एक बार डाल
38:08now viewers Rahul Gandhi the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha came out to say that he has certain atom bombs to drop on the election commission of India but now we'll also take a reality check of Rahul's atom bombs what has he claimed Rahul's stand is that Congress lost 70 seats by 50,000 margin again the reality seems to be BJP lost 48 seats and
38:36Congress 28 by 58,000 this is what we are in fact fact checking here probing again Rahul's stance was that probing if BJP wins were genuine but then the fact is that BJP had more slim losses than Congress itself so it completely contradicts what Rahul Gandhi has come out to claim at this given point so this is
39:00this is the kind of situation that we see wherein these are the claims being made by the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha and on the other hand this is what the reality is this is where the reality stands in terms of numbers and data itself that's currently available to us in fact on this very matter that's all that we have for you at this given point and we have some breaking news coming in let's quickly take a look

Over to you.

44:13More breaking news coming in at this point in the bulletin is well West Bengal Chief Secretary Manoj Pant leaves for Delhi.
44:28You're summoned by the Election Commission of India and asked to report at 5 p.m. today.
44:31The summon came after Chief Secretary in his letter to the Election Commission of India stated that the government has removed two officers out of five but not suspended or registered an F.I.R. against the officials.
44:42As directed by the Election Commission of India.
44:45Now the Election Commission's action comes in after Bengal government's defiance.
44:49Bengal had ignored the Election Commission's order to sack the four poll officials.
44:55There's an explosive showdown that we are witnessing viewers amid the Bihar special intensive revision exercise route that is also currently underway.
45:05So this is what we are bringing to you at this given point Manoj Pant having left for Delhi.
45:10This is with regards to the showdown it is Bengal government versus the Election Commission of India.
45:16Two officers out of five were removed but not suspended or registered an F.I.R. against the officials as directed by the ECI.
45:24This is this is the very raw or rather the subject over which this very debate heated debate has now come out to in fact develop at this given point.
45:35The summon has come in after the Chief Secretary in his letter to it was Manoj Pant himself who wrote a letter penned down a letter to the Election Commission of India stating that the government has removed these two officers out of the five but not suspended or registered an F.I.R. against the officials as directed by the Election Commission of India.
45:52And this action had come in remember after Bengal government's defiance that is what we are speaking of at this given point.
46:00Bengal had come out to ignore the Election Commission's order to sack the four poll officials at this point.
46:06It's explosive a showdown that's already developed and right now Tapos Sengupta joins me on the broadcast to bring us more details.
46:13Tapos, very good morning to you. Let's understand what has gone down so far and what in fact awaits with Manoj Pant flying into Delhi and to meet the Election Commission of India.
46:25The contention between the State Government and the Election Commission of India began following action which was directed by the Election Commission against four officials who were found guilty of manipulating the electoral process as far as putting names in the Form 6 is concerned.
46:46The State Government do have acted against all four but they have not taken any coercion action.
46:51In a reminder letter to the State Government, the Election Commission clearly stated on 8th of August that the F.I.R. must be lost against all four of the officers who were involved in this electoral process.
47:04However, the State said that any coercion action against them without a proper inquiry would demoralize other government staffs involved in the electoral practice.
47:15So keeping that in mind, they were withdrawn from the electoral process and an inquiry has been ordered.
47:20But the Election Commission seems not happy by these steps taken by the State Government and henceforth, after receiving a reply from the State Government, the Election Commission had summoned the Chief Secretary of West Bengal to appear before the bench in person today at 5 p.m.
47:36And a little while back, they have already left for Delhi. He is supposed to reach Delhi by this afternoon and following which he will be appearing before the Election Commission of India.
47:45It remains to be seen what exactly the Election Commission says to the Chief Secretary.
47:49But needless to say, the Trinamong Congress has hit back at the Election Commission and we know that still there is a controversy going on in West Bengal following implementation of the S.I.R.
48:00So we can only say that as we are getting closer to the 2026 December election, the contention between the Election Commission and the State Government or the Central Government and the State Government is only getting bigger and it is only likely to continue as we move closer to the elections next year.
48:14Thank you for bringing us all those details with regards to what exactly is currently underway and what we may be expecting with this meeting to take place in the National Capital.
48:25With that, viewers, that's all that we have for you at this point on that very story.
48:29And with that, we've come to an end to this edition of the bulletin.
