[00:00:22] of larger public importance.

[00:00:24] That often gets lost in prime time shows.

[00:00:54] So, please listen to this podcast.

[00:00:59] And this is the reason why this news is so popular.

[00:01:04] This is the reason why the news is so popular.

[00:01:08] This is the reason why this news is so popular.

[00:01:12] Hello and welcome to HW News Network.

[00:01:19] You know this clip.

[00:01:22] Constantly reminds me of what India lost, what we lost as a nation.

[00:01:32] And unless eventually we make some major changes, this India that you just saw is lost.

[00:01:44] Let's get right with the show.

[00:01:51] We are in a country where nobody, no political party, no political party, no politician today can claim and say that I will not eat or eat.

[00:02:04] No political party is beyond corruption, beyond quick-propos, beyond clean and absolutely spotlessly clean, India first righteousness, all that, no political party can claim that.

[00:02:19] No political party and if somebody is claiming they are lying, we saw that in the electoral bonds.

[00:02:27] We saw that the way electoral bonds were collected, we saw the way political party which is supposed to be there for serving the people started emasying money for what?

[00:02:40] What? For what to play bonuses to their workers?

[00:02:46] So directly or indirectly, no political party or politician can claim that they are spotlessly clean, squeaky clean and corruption free and not eat or eat.

[00:02:58] All this is not happening, that's the point number one. Let us realize it today.

[00:03:04] So if you are voting for a politician, chances are you are either voting for one corrupt politician or you are voting for the other corrupt politician.

[00:03:11] You pick the better corrupt politician from the two politicians that you are going to vote for.

[00:03:17] Chances are that is going to be the situation you are going to be in in 2024. This to my mind is a fact.

[00:03:25] The second point I want to talk to you is about the way our democracy is being crushed.

[00:03:36] The reason I say our democracy is being crushed is because the way in which oppositions are just picked and put behind bars.

[00:03:48] My first point was nobody in this country can claim no politician I think in this country can claim after electoral bonds that they are corruption free, they are clean, there is no corruption.

[00:04:00] Now how I told you that?

[00:04:03] Now we see that the opposition politicians, the opposition political parties their leaders especially leaders that will make a difference picked up and put behind bars.

[00:04:16] K Kabita put behind bars. Why? So that it would be easier to charge it.

[00:04:24] Heyman Soren put behind bars. Why? Because the way things are, jargon is important.

[00:04:30] So the biggest opponent for the ruling dispensation that is Heyman Soren who could stand against the ruling dispensation could make a difference in jargon put behind bars.

[00:04:42] Arwen K. Chival put behind bars. Possibly the most vociferous opponent against Bharatiya Janata party like Mamata Banerjee who incidentally now is more or less quiet.

[00:05:01] She's gone quiet. I don't know the reason but she's gone quiet.

[00:05:07] West Bengal, Moa Moetra today rated. CBI has rated her residence.

[00:05:12] I told you first no politician can claim to be clean spotlessly clean non-corruption nothing no political party can claim that.

[00:05:22] So if no political party can claim that why which hand the opposition?

[00:05:28] A lot of people have been asking me as to why, what do I think if a person is corrupt should he be let free? Is a politician above law?

[00:05:39] Let me tell you I say nothing of that. Why politician anybody? The only politician common man, anybody whoever has committed a crime should face the consequence.

[00:05:50] I have no debate on that. My request is my point is what is bigger?

[00:05:57] Teaching Arwen K. Chival a lesson or the democracy which is bigger.

[00:06:04] You definitely teach Arwen K. Chival a lesson if he has committed a crime you should face it but couldn't it wait for too much?

[00:06:13] Couldn't it wait till the end of election so that you show the nation that finally above everything is the nation and our democracy.

[00:06:23] Let Arwen K. Chival get the opportunity to fight the election, fight for a party campaign for a party try to get the maximum amount of votes for a party and then once it's all done you arrest him, you interrogate him, you do whatever you want.

[00:06:42] That is the prerogative of law. Was Arwen K. Chival right in just ignoring 9 summons? Absolutely not but he ignored 9 summons no?

[00:06:54] Couldn't it wait for 2 more months? 9 summons you waited no? Couldn't it wait for 2 more months? At least you could have proven the point that democracy first.

[00:07:06] K. Kavita, my dear Chandrashekar Rao is not in a position to campaign he's unwell who's going to campaign for him? Who was supposed to campaign for BRS? Kavita, behind bars.

[00:07:19] The most vociferous voice from Trinomool Congress after Mahatma Banerjee, Mahumwa Moitra now facing CBR raids I spoke to about Himansore.

[00:07:32] They just we are the others and his father both are facing ED and other charges. All of this happening same time.

[00:07:39] Congress, there accounts frozen all of this happening same time do you think it's fair? Do you think it's fair?

[00:07:51] That is why I say that India has lost. We lost our India.

[00:08:01] The third point I want to talk to you about is look at the way how administration when asked to bend, croled.

[00:08:17] It was so easy for the powerful to manipulate, to manage, to crush, to make the administration go against the people who are going against the way or go the way politicians and the people wanted.

[00:08:35] Finally administration works for whom? They are public servant or political servant.

[00:08:41] Police works for whom? Public to protect the public from crime or to protect politicians from public.

[00:08:49] What exactly is the role of police? What exactly is the role of enforcement agencies and central agencies?

[00:08:54] Who are they protecting and what interests are they protecting and who's interested in protecting?

[00:09:00] If we have to get back our India, there has to be administrative reforms no matter which political party comes in.

[00:09:07] Because I am not very optimistic. First of all I don't know whether there will be a new political party coming in to power in 2024.

[00:09:17] By the looks of it, it doesn't look and if at all there is, I don't see that new political party being any different.

[00:09:25] I don't think that new political party being any different. That new political party will come and magnify everything what the old political party has done because that's exactly what the old political party did.

[00:09:36] Magnified what a UPA government had done.

[00:09:39] So, UPA government did this much, this political party came and this did much.

[00:09:44] The other political party who will come will do this much.

[00:09:48] We are going down. There has to be administrative reforms, there has to be police reforms.

[00:09:57] The way E.D. functions has to be re-looked, the way a bureaucrat functions has to be re-looked.

[00:10:04] The reporting system, the reporting system of a bureaucrat and the legislature has to be re-looked executive, the relation of executive and legislature has to be re-looked.

[00:10:16] The job of the judiciary has to be re-looked. It's all gone wrong.

[00:10:23] It's all gone wrong. Where are we going with this?

[00:10:28] You know you say something wrong and the next day there could be a raid on you, you know that.

[00:10:34] If you say something against the government there could be a raid on you the very next day who raids you, your own public servant, people who are there to protect you.

[00:10:45] Those protectors come and raid you.

[00:10:50] Administration is going wrong. Administration is there for the ruler.

[00:10:58] We are the subjects, everything has changed, everything has changed.

[00:11:06] There has to be cultural reforms.

[00:11:12] We are used to be subjected to having a king on top of us.

[00:11:19] We love being ruled. We love bending. We love falling at people's feet.

[00:11:26] We are used to having an autocratic ruler. We like an autocratic ruler.

[00:11:32] We sing praises of an autocratic ruler. Possibly that's the way we pass our responsibility to somebody else.

[00:11:41] Because if there is an autocratic ruler and he or she takes all the decisions then you don't have to take decisions.

[00:11:46] That's how it goes. Maybe that's the way, that's the way we are looking at it.

[00:11:51] But the country is used to an autocratic leader. We have forgotten our own rights and a lot of us don't even want our rights.

[00:12:00] A lot of us are okay to sing the chubai dona. Why are you talking about it?

[00:12:04] I get this advice all the time. Instead of me being told talk more because that's my job.

[00:12:14] That's my constitutional right? Other than me being told that, I'm told chubai dona here. Why are you talking?

[00:12:24] Till the first time that we change that culture. We till the first time that we change that culture nothing is going to change.

[00:12:31] India, the country, our country will lose our India.

[00:12:37] We lose our beautiful democratic liberal India where we had rights.

[00:12:44] Where we believed in our rights. Where we believed that every person, every Indian was equal.

[00:12:52] We will lose that India. That's the point I wanted to make.

[00:13:01] I want to show you another clip. One clip that I showed you in the beginning of my editorial.

[00:13:10] This clip is what today's India is.
