[00:00:01] Namaskar! Welcome to another episode of editorial. Have you noticed the amount of Hindu Rakshaks, Hindu protector, protector of Hinduism that has sprung up in the last 10 years? Politicians, actor turned politicians, all of them Hindu Rakshak.
[00:00:29] You know, all of a sudden, I am kind of starting to feel that Hinduism possibly is the most fragile religion. That it needs so many protectors. My question tonight is, does Hinduism need protection? And who exactly is receiving Hinduism? That's the question. Let's get right into the show.
[00:00:56] You see, I am a Hindu. I am a devoid Hindu. But does this information make any difference to my viewers? Actually it doesn't. Do I earn subscribers because I am Hindu? No. Do I lose subscribers because I am Hindu? No.
[00:01:18] So this information has no relevance to my viewers. The reason I say this, that is, I am a Hindu is because, you see, today's subject is regarding my faith. So therefore I am telling you, I am a Hindu and I am a devoid Hindu.
[00:01:40] And as a Hindu, I see every second day, there is somebody standing up, some film star, some actor turned politician, some politician stand up and tell me that they are there to protect me.
[00:01:55] I see every second day. I see every second day, some people. I see every second day, politicians come and tell me, unite, unite together, unite together.
[00:02:02] Unite together, unite together. I don't know against who. Because around me, I see no enemies. But I am asked to unite together. Unite together.
[00:02:09] Unite together. And recently, I am asked a few people who claim to be Hindu Rakshak, who claim to be the protector of Hinduism. But I believe that these are the very people who are deceiving Hinduism.
[00:02:29] I am going to give you a few examples. Now the names that I am going to talk about, the personalities that I am going to talk about are examples.
[00:02:40] There are a lot many like them.
[00:02:42] But let us take a couple of examples.
[00:02:45] You see, there is a bigoted leader called Humayun Kabir,
[00:02:52] who works for the Trinamul Congress in West Bengal,
[00:02:56] who made a statement where he said that you are 30% that is people, Hindus.
[00:03:02] You are 30% but we are 70%.
[00:03:04] If you think you can demolish mosque and Muslims will sit back and relax,
[00:03:09] you are wrong.
[00:03:10] I will leave politics if I don't drown these people in Bhagirathi.
[00:03:14] This was a bigoted criminal called Humayun Kabir,
[00:03:20] one leader in West Bengal who made this statement.
[00:03:24] I think this is a criminal statement.
[00:03:26] He was threatening to kill people.
[00:03:32] I always, even then when this happened,
[00:03:35] I had an editorial, I had, I was wondering,
[00:03:39] why is Mamata Banerji not taking any action against this man?
[00:03:44] Why is Mamata Banerji not putting this man behind bars?
[00:03:48] Because he is threatening people.
[00:03:51] I was surprised.
[00:03:54] But then, you know what?
[00:03:55] I stopped getting surprised.
[00:03:57] I stopped even believing that Mamata Banerji would ever take steps that will harm her politically,
[00:04:07] that would harm her votes.
[00:04:08] I stopped believing in Mamata Banerji.
[00:04:11] This is a fact.
[00:04:13] Now let me go further.
[00:04:15] This is not my story.
[00:04:17] You see, there is another gentleman called Mithun Chakravarti.
[00:04:23] Now Mithun Chakravarti, I will give you a background about this gentleman.
[00:04:29] This man used to once upon a time say that he was an exalite.
[00:04:34] He was a hardcore trade union leader.
[00:04:37] He was a hardcore communist.
[00:04:39] Hardcore communist.
[00:04:41] He would propagate communism in his earlier days.
[00:04:47] And a communist means atheist.
[00:04:50] Absolute atheist.
[00:04:52] This was Mithun Chakravarti.
[00:04:54] Mithun Chakravarti happened in Hindi movies.
[00:04:57] He became a big star in Hindi movies.
[00:05:00] When he became a big star in Hindi movies,
[00:05:03] you know,
[00:05:03] he never bothered to check
[00:05:05] whether he was acting
[00:05:06] for a Muslim producer,
[00:05:10] a Hindu producer,
[00:05:11] whether his tickets were bought by a Hindu
[00:05:14] or a Muslim
[00:05:15] or a Sikh.
[00:05:16] He never bothered.
[00:05:17] He acted for the people
[00:05:18] and he acted for everybody.
[00:05:20] And he has played characters.
[00:05:22] He has played Muslim characters also.
[00:05:24] Jat Mithun Chakravarti.
[00:05:27] Now, like most of the actors,
[00:05:29] as he aged,
[00:05:30] he started becoming irrelevant in Bollywood.
[00:05:33] And parallelly,
[00:05:37] his political ambitions also rose.
[00:05:39] And from hardcore communist,
[00:05:42] he jumped to their directly,
[00:05:44] the biggest opposition to communism.
[00:05:47] He jumped to the biggest opposition to communism.
[00:05:50] That is Mahmata Banerjee in West Bengal.
[00:05:51] He jumped from communism to Trinamool Congress.
[00:05:55] The man who praised communism,
[00:05:58] Lal Salaam,
[00:05:59] jumped and said,
[00:06:00] now Mahmata Banerjee is the best.
[00:06:03] What a leader.
[00:06:05] What a leader.
[00:06:07] Okay.
[00:06:08] So from atheism,
[00:06:10] communism
[00:06:10] to Mahmata Banerjee.
[00:06:13] Jump one.
[00:06:14] Mahmata Banerjee gave him Rajya Sava.
[00:06:17] Made him an MP.
[00:06:18] He attended three days.
[00:06:20] He attended Parliament for three days
[00:06:23] as an MP.
[00:06:24] Gave him an MP.
[00:06:28] He was in Rajya Sava
[00:06:30] as a TMC MP.
[00:06:33] And then,
[00:06:33] he had some cases against him.
[00:06:36] He was directly or indirectly involved in Sharda's scam.
[00:06:40] There was ED inquiry against him.
[00:06:42] Allegedly involved.
[00:06:43] So there was ED inquiry against him.
[00:06:45] His son,
[00:06:46] incidentally,
[00:06:47] was allegedly involved in some rape case.
[00:06:51] So the fact remains that,
[00:06:54] he had problems with law.
[00:06:56] Now as always,
[00:06:58] and as usually,
[00:06:59] that's what we see in modern India,
[00:07:03] this man who was an atheist communist,
[00:07:06] who jumped to the direct opposition,
[00:07:09] that is Trinamul Congress,
[00:07:10] jumped again to the opposition,
[00:07:13] that is Bharatiya Janata Party.
[00:07:15] So an atheist communist,
[00:07:17] went to right wing Bharatiya Janata Party,
[00:07:21] which is a Hindutva Party.
[00:07:23] This was this gentleman's jump.
[00:07:26] All this is fine.
[00:07:30] Now you know,
[00:07:31] this 74 year old gentleman,
[00:07:33] he makes a statement.
[00:07:36] He says,
[00:07:38] this was basically referring to this Humayun Kabir fellow.
[00:07:42] He says,
[00:07:44] a leader says that,
[00:07:45] there are 70% Muslims,
[00:07:47] and 30% Hindus.
[00:07:49] And he will cut,
[00:07:50] and throw them in Bhagirati.
[00:07:53] I thought,
[00:07:54] Chief Minister,
[00:07:55] Mamata Bananji,
[00:07:56] should have said something.
[00:07:57] She didn't.
[00:07:58] So now I am saying,
[00:08:00] I will chop them up,
[00:08:02] and bury them in ground.
[00:08:04] This is,
[00:08:07] the words,
[00:08:09] of a 74 year old,
[00:08:12] former superstar.
[00:08:14] You know what saddens me?
[00:08:15] What saddens me,
[00:08:16] is,
[00:08:17] crores and crores of people follow him.
[00:08:20] And,
[00:08:22] till such time,
[00:08:23] that he said that,
[00:08:24] Mamata Bananji didn't do anything,
[00:08:25] I can accept that.
[00:08:27] But the fact is,
[00:08:28] he responding to a threat,
[00:08:29] with a threat.
[00:08:32] That too,
[00:08:32] with his kind of popularity,
[00:08:34] who knows this fellow,
[00:08:36] Humayun,
[00:08:37] whatever,
[00:08:37] Kabir,
[00:08:37] who knew him?
[00:08:39] But,
[00:08:39] Mitun Chakravarti is,
[00:08:40] somebody,
[00:08:41] somebody who is known,
[00:08:42] from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
[00:08:43] Imagine,
[00:08:44] he,
[00:08:45] standing in a stage,
[00:08:46] and threatening like this.
[00:08:51] Do you think,
[00:08:52] my question one,
[00:08:54] to you,
[00:08:54] is,
[00:08:55] do you think,
[00:08:56] had he been,
[00:08:56] as relevant,
[00:08:57] say as an Amitabh Bachchan today?
[00:08:59] Amitabh Bachchan is still,
[00:09:00] super relevant,
[00:09:02] in Bollywood.
[00:09:03] Had this man,
[00:09:04] been relevant,
[00:09:05] as Amitabh Bachchan today,
[00:09:06] do you think,
[00:09:07] he would have made,
[00:09:08] this kind of statement?
[00:09:10] Do you think,
[00:09:11] he would have still said,
[00:09:12] that,
[00:09:12] I will chop them off,
[00:09:14] cut them off,
[00:09:15] and ground them,
[00:09:16] put them,
[00:09:17] bury them,
[00:09:18] and all that.
[00:09:18] Would he have made,
[00:09:19] the statement?
[00:09:21] He wouldn't have,
[00:09:22] made the statement.
[00:09:22] You know,
[00:09:23] why wouldn't have,
[00:09:23] made the statement?
[00:09:24] He wouldn't have,
[00:09:25] made the statement,
[00:09:25] is because his next film,
[00:09:26] would have been flopped.
[00:09:28] That is why,
[00:09:29] he wouldn't have,
[00:09:30] made the statement.
[00:09:31] You know,
[00:09:32] why currently,
[00:09:32] he is making the statement?
[00:09:33] Because,
[00:09:34] this statement,
[00:09:34] helps him,
[00:09:36] politically.
[00:09:38] So,
[00:09:39] why is he using Hinduism?
[00:09:42] Why is he,
[00:09:43] playing the,
[00:09:44] protector role of Hinduism?
[00:09:45] Is it to help Hinduism?
[00:09:47] Or,
[00:09:47] is it to help him,
[00:09:48] politically?
[00:09:51] Think about it.
[00:09:52] My question number one.
[00:09:54] My question number two.
[00:09:57] A,
[00:09:59] person who was an atheist,
[00:10:01] communist,
[00:10:02] jumped to,
[00:10:03] Trinamul congress,
[00:10:05] jumped to,
[00:10:06] Bharatiya Janata party,
[00:10:08] and an atheist,
[00:10:09] today,
[00:10:10] vouches,
[00:10:11] as a Hindu,
[00:10:12] tell me,
[00:10:13] what guarantee,
[00:10:15] you have,
[00:10:15] that he,
[00:10:16] tomorrow,
[00:10:17] will not jump,
[00:10:18] to another party,
[00:10:21] and,
[00:10:21] go against,
[00:10:23] being a Hindu?
[00:10:24] As a Hindu,
[00:10:25] I need to know that.
[00:10:27] As a Hindu,
[00:10:29] why do I trust him?
[00:10:32] Earlier on,
[00:10:33] he was not a Hindu,
[00:10:34] he was an atheist,
[00:10:34] he was a communist.
[00:10:36] Now,
[00:10:37] he is a Hindu.
[00:10:38] How do I know,
[00:10:38] tomorrow,
[00:10:39] he will ditch Hinduism,
[00:10:40] and go somewhere else,
[00:10:41] and say that,
[00:10:42] he may,
[00:10:42] he may harm us?
[00:10:44] How do I know,
[00:10:45] how do I take people like him,
[00:10:47] as my protector?
[00:10:48] Tell,
[00:10:51] my question number three.
[00:10:54] Is he not using Hinduism,
[00:10:57] purely as,
[00:10:58] a tool,
[00:11:00] a tool,
[00:11:01] to win him elections?
[00:11:03] Is he not using,
[00:11:04] my religion,
[00:11:06] which I said,
[00:11:07] I am a devoid follower of,
[00:11:09] is he not using,
[00:11:10] my religion,
[00:11:11] just,
[00:11:12] to get,
[00:11:13] an opportunity,
[00:11:14] just for his benefit?
[00:11:16] Is he not doing it?
[00:11:18] And am I not,
[00:11:20] being fooled,
[00:11:22] by such people,
[00:11:23] who say that,
[00:11:24] no,
[00:11:24] I am going to protect,
[00:11:25] Hinduism.
[00:11:27] A person,
[00:11:28] who till yesterday,
[00:11:29] was protecting communism,
[00:11:30] today is protecting Hinduism.
[00:11:32] Am I supposed to believe,
[00:11:33] this person?
[00:11:35] This is my question,
[00:11:36] number three.
[00:11:39] And,
[00:11:40] finally,
[00:11:41] finally,
[00:11:43] do you think,
[00:11:44] he is being fair,
[00:11:45] to his country?
[00:11:46] A person of his caliber.
[00:11:48] You see,
[00:11:48] Mithun Chakrabarti,
[00:11:49] all said and done,
[00:11:50] is a big man.
[00:11:51] He is a popular man.
[00:11:53] Do you think,
[00:11:53] we can run our country,
[00:11:57] by,
[00:11:59] propagating an eye,
[00:12:00] for an eye?
[00:12:01] He said,
[00:12:01] I will chop you,
[00:12:02] I said,
[00:12:03] I will bury you.
[00:12:04] He said,
[00:12:04] I will cut you,
[00:12:05] he said,
[00:12:06] I will stab you.
[00:12:06] Do you think,
[00:12:07] we can run our country like that?
[00:12:09] Do you think,
[00:12:10] we want to run our country like that?
[00:12:12] Do you think,
[00:12:13] our country will have a future,
[00:12:16] by running like this?
[00:12:19] Doesn't,
[00:12:20] don't you think,
[00:12:21] that a 74 year old,
[00:12:23] superstar,
[00:12:24] knows,
[00:12:24] that this is wrong?
[00:12:26] Two wrongs,
[00:12:27] do not make a right?
[00:12:28] Doesn't he know this?
[00:12:30] And yet,
[00:12:31] he is saying it,
[00:12:32] for what reason?
[00:12:34] For votes.
[00:12:35] Which means,
[00:12:37] if I say,
[00:12:39] that he is putting,
[00:12:40] the country at stake,
[00:12:41] our peace at stake,
[00:12:43] our unity in diversity,
[00:12:45] at stake,
[00:12:46] for votes,
[00:12:47] will I be wrong?
[00:12:50] This,
[00:12:50] is my first point.
[00:12:52] There is another gentleman,
[00:12:54] another gentleman,
[00:12:54] called,
[00:12:55] Himanta Biswasarva.
[00:12:56] You see,
[00:12:56] Himanta Biswasarva,
[00:12:57] is a very shrewd politician.
[00:12:59] A shrewd politician.
[00:13:00] He entered,
[00:13:01] into the assembly,
[00:13:03] the Assam assembly,
[00:13:04] in 2001.
[00:13:06] 23 years,
[00:13:07] he has been,
[00:13:07] into the political circuit.
[00:13:09] Very,
[00:13:10] very prominent,
[00:13:10] very popular,
[00:13:11] politician.
[00:13:15] 2014,
[00:13:16] till 2014,
[00:13:17] he was a hardcore,
[00:13:18] congress worker.
[00:13:20] Which means,
[00:13:21] bulk of his life,
[00:13:22] he was a congressman.
[00:13:24] When I say,
[00:13:25] he is a congressman,
[00:13:26] I believe,
[00:13:27] that he,
[00:13:28] was propagating secularism,
[00:13:29] because that is what,
[00:13:30] congress propagated.
[00:13:32] So he was a secular,
[00:13:33] secular person.
[00:13:35] Achcha,
[00:13:35] I am not saying this,
[00:13:36] I am not saying this.
[00:13:37] He only has said this.
[00:13:39] I will read one of the statements,
[00:13:40] which he had made,
[00:13:41] long,
[00:13:42] long back,
[00:13:43] where he said that,
[00:13:44] in a poll rally,
[00:13:45] in Tespur,
[00:13:46] Sarma called,
[00:13:48] Mr. Modi,
[00:13:49] a terrorist,
[00:13:50] and said,
[00:13:51] blood of Muslim,
[00:13:52] flows through the water pipes,
[00:13:54] of Gujarat.
[00:13:56] Blood of Muslims,
[00:13:57] flows through the water pipes,
[00:13:59] of Gujarat.
[00:14:00] This is what,
[00:14:01] this secular,
[00:14:02] so called secular man,
[00:14:04] had said,
[00:14:04] when he was in congress.
[00:14:08] 2014,
[00:14:09] there was,
[00:14:10] some scam,
[00:14:11] alleged scam,
[00:14:12] against him.
[00:14:14] BJP made it big,
[00:14:15] and,
[00:14:16] he jumped from congress,
[00:14:18] to Bharatiya Janata Party.
[00:14:22] So a man who said that,
[00:14:24] the prime minister of India,
[00:14:26] the current prime minister of India,
[00:14:28] was a terrorist,
[00:14:29] and,
[00:14:29] Gujarat,
[00:14:30] had the blood of,
[00:14:31] Muslims flowing through their pipes.
[00:14:34] That same man,
[00:14:37] today says,
[00:14:38] that,
[00:14:39] I will take sides.
[00:14:41] He is saying,
[00:14:42] I will take sides of the Hindus.
[00:14:43] I will take sides.
[00:14:44] What can you do?
[00:14:46] We will not let,
[00:14:47] Mia Muslim,
[00:14:48] take over Assam.
[00:14:50] You,
[00:14:51] Mia Muslim,
[00:14:51] will take,
[00:14:52] the entire lower Assam.
[00:14:54] We will not,
[00:14:55] let you,
[00:14:56] all,
[00:14:57] to take over Assam.
[00:14:59] No,
[00:15:00] never.
[00:15:01] He is talking to the Muslims.
[00:15:03] Assam,
[00:15:04] in 2041,
[00:15:05] Assam,
[00:15:07] will become,
[00:15:07] a Muslim majority state.
[00:15:09] It is reality,
[00:15:10] and nobody can stop it.
[00:15:12] This is,
[00:15:12] the fear,
[00:15:13] he is trying to create,
[00:15:14] in people.
[00:15:17] He claims,
[00:15:18] Mia Muslim means,
[00:15:19] people who have come from Bangladesh.
[00:15:21] That is what he claims,
[00:15:22] Mia Muslim means.
[00:15:23] Achcha,
[00:15:24] now tell me,
[00:15:25] from 2001,
[00:15:27] to 2014,
[00:15:29] when these Mia Muslims,
[00:15:30] were coming into,
[00:15:32] the state,
[00:15:33] Assam state,
[00:15:34] he was in the ministry,
[00:15:35] no?
[00:15:36] He was in the assembly,
[00:15:37] no?
[00:15:38] What did he do,
[00:15:39] to stop it?
[00:15:40] Or are you telling me,
[00:15:42] he,
[00:15:43] didn't realize,
[00:15:44] all of a sudden,
[00:15:48] only in,
[00:15:48] 2016,
[00:15:49] 17,
[00:15:50] 18,
[00:15:50] 19,
[00:15:50] 20,
[00:15:51] 21,
[00:15:51] 22,
[00:15:52] he realized,
[00:15:52] oops,
[00:15:53] Mia Muslims are coming in.
[00:15:55] When his government,
[00:15:56] was ruling,
[00:15:57] he never realized,
[00:15:58] that Mia Muslims,
[00:15:59] were coming into Assam.
[00:16:02] So the fact is,
[00:16:03] has the situation changed?
[00:16:05] Or has his ideology changed?
[00:16:08] Has the situation changed?
[00:16:10] Or,
[00:16:11] is he creating a situation,
[00:16:13] that can help him,
[00:16:14] win votes?
[00:16:15] Win votes of the Hindus,
[00:16:18] become the champion of Hindus,
[00:16:19] again,
[00:16:20] like I said,
[00:16:20] about the earlier gentleman,
[00:16:22] Mr.
[00:16:23] Mitun Chakravarti,
[00:16:24] is he trying to be,
[00:16:25] my protector?
[00:16:27] My protector from whom?
[00:16:30] From 19,
[00:16:32] by 19,
[00:16:33] from the age immemorial,
[00:16:35] this has been a Hindu land,
[00:16:37] and it continues to be a Hindu land.
[00:16:39] If this gentleman tells me,
[00:16:40] by 2041,
[00:16:42] the state,
[00:16:43] will become,
[00:16:44] a Muslim majority state,
[00:16:45] then there is something wrong,
[00:16:46] that this government,
[00:16:47] must be doing.
[00:16:48] My question again,
[00:16:51] is he doing this,
[00:16:52] so that,
[00:16:53] he can get political mileage out of it?
[00:16:56] Or,
[00:16:56] is he doing it for Hinduism?
[00:16:59] And if he is doing it,
[00:17:00] because he can get political mileage,
[00:17:02] what if,
[00:17:03] he jumps back to Congress tomorrow,
[00:17:04] if Congress comes to power?
[00:17:07] What tune,
[00:17:08] will he be singing then?
[00:17:10] Will he be still talking,
[00:17:12] on behalf of Hindus?
[00:17:14] As a Hindu,
[00:17:14] I want to know this.
[00:17:15] Why should I believe,
[00:17:17] he will still talk,
[00:17:18] on behalf of Hindus?
[00:17:19] Because in 2012,
[00:17:20] he didn't speak,
[00:17:21] on behalf of me.
[00:17:23] 2024,
[00:17:23] he is speaking,
[00:17:24] on behalf of me.
[00:17:25] So,
[00:17:26] how do I know,
[00:17:27] 2029,
[00:17:27] he will speak,
[00:17:28] on behalf of me?
[00:17:29] How do I know that?
[00:17:30] What guarantee?
[00:17:32] Why can't he change?
[00:17:33] If you change,
[00:17:34] once you change,
[00:17:35] twice you change,
[00:17:35] twice you rise,
[00:17:36] why can't you change?
[00:17:39] The last person,
[00:17:40] I want to talk about,
[00:17:41] is,
[00:17:42] this gentleman,
[00:17:43] called Pavan Kalyan.
[00:17:45] Again,
[00:17:45] an actor turned politician.
[00:17:47] You know,
[00:17:47] somebody who would go,
[00:17:49] out of his way,
[00:17:49] to preach,
[00:17:51] secularism.
[00:17:52] You know,
[00:17:52] he would say things,
[00:17:54] like,
[00:17:55] like one should not shout,
[00:17:57] Jai Bhavani,
[00:17:58] in Kadapa Darga,
[00:18:00] chant,
[00:18:00] Jai Sri Ram,
[00:18:01] in Medak Church,
[00:18:03] or pray,
[00:18:04] Hail Jesus,
[00:18:04] in Tinumala,
[00:18:05] Venkateshwara Temple.
[00:18:06] I condemn,
[00:18:07] such attempt,
[00:18:08] to encroach,
[00:18:09] into the space,
[00:18:10] of other faith.
[00:18:12] You see,
[00:18:12] he had to say this,
[00:18:13] eh?
[00:18:14] Because he was an actor.
[00:18:16] Because you know,
[00:18:16] people have to watch,
[00:18:17] no?
[00:18:19] It is not that you can,
[00:18:20] just make movies for,
[00:18:22] Shah Rukh Khan,
[00:18:22] just doesn't make movies,
[00:18:23] for Muslims.
[00:18:24] Salman Khan,
[00:18:25] just doesn't make movies,
[00:18:25] for Muslims.
[00:18:26] Neither does,
[00:18:27] Hrithik Roshan,
[00:18:28] make movies,
[00:18:28] for Hindus.
[00:18:29] Movies are made,
[00:18:30] for everybody.
[00:18:32] Everybody comes,
[00:18:33] and watches.
[00:18:33] There are huge,
[00:18:34] Shah Rukh Khan fans,
[00:18:35] amongst Hindus,
[00:18:36] and there are huge,
[00:18:38] whatever,
[00:18:39] Hrithik Roshan fans,
[00:18:40] amongst Muslims.
[00:18:41] Huge.
[00:18:42] Because,
[00:18:44] they are artists.
[00:18:45] They are supposed,
[00:18:46] to be everybody's.
[00:18:48] So,
[00:18:48] at that point in time,
[00:18:49] he was very clear.
[00:18:50] In fact,
[00:18:51] he has gone out,
[00:18:52] and made statements,
[00:18:53] like,
[00:18:54] he is against,
[00:18:55] religion,
[00:18:56] in politics.
[00:18:57] It was his statement,
[00:18:58] in 2021.
[00:19:00] It was his statement.
[00:19:01] The point is,
[00:19:03] all of a sudden,
[00:19:04] after the,
[00:19:05] Ladduro,
[00:19:05] he says,
[00:19:06] no,
[00:19:07] Bhaapre,
[00:19:08] Sanatan,
[00:19:09] Dharma,
[00:19:09] needs protection.
[00:19:10] I will,
[00:19:11] read out his statement,
[00:19:12] to you.
[00:19:13] We are all,
[00:19:14] deeply disturbed,
[00:19:15] with the findings,
[00:19:16] of animal fat.
[00:19:18] Many questions,
[00:19:19] need to be answered,
[00:19:20] by the TDD board,
[00:19:22] constituted by,
[00:19:23] YP government then.
[00:19:24] He said,
[00:19:25] maybe,
[00:19:25] the time has come,
[00:19:27] to constitute,
[00:19:27] a Sanatan,
[00:19:28] Dharma,
[00:19:29] Rakshana board,
[00:19:30] a national level,
[00:19:32] to look into,
[00:19:32] the issues,
[00:19:33] related to temple,
[00:19:34] in entire Bharat.
[00:19:36] The man,
[00:19:37] who just said,
[00:19:38] you should not do this,
[00:19:38] in temple,
[00:19:39] you should not do this,
[00:19:40] in church,
[00:19:40] you should not do this,
[00:19:41] in the mosque,
[00:19:42] and all that.
[00:19:42] He said,
[00:19:43] oh,
[00:19:43] Bhaapre,
[00:19:44] everything very wrong.
[00:19:46] We should put,
[00:19:47] this is,
[00:19:48] I think,
[00:19:48] after that,
[00:19:49] Ladduro,
[00:19:50] of Andhra Pradesh.
[00:19:51] His government,
[00:19:52] is the government,
[00:19:53] he is part of the government,
[00:19:54] he is the deputy chief minister,
[00:19:56] and this particular,
[00:19:57] Ladduro,
[00:19:58] happened in his government,
[00:19:59] when he was in the chair,
[00:20:00] as deputy chief minister.
[00:20:02] He says,
[00:20:03] my God,
[00:20:04] he says,
[00:20:05] my God,
[00:20:06] he says,
[00:20:06] well,
[00:20:07] we should have a protection board,
[00:20:08] national protection board,
[00:20:09] national protection board,
[00:20:11] for Sanatan Dharma,
[00:20:12] my state,
[00:20:13] Maharashtra,
[00:20:14] has no problem,
[00:20:15] we are very secure,
[00:20:17] I don't think,
[00:20:18] there is any,
[00:20:18] any danger,
[00:20:19] in my state,
[00:20:20] in Maharashtra,
[00:20:21] on any Sanatan temple,
[00:20:23] I don't think,
[00:20:24] there is any problem,
[00:20:24] I don't know about him,
[00:20:26] but he wants to set up,
[00:20:27] a national,
[00:20:28] Rakshana board,
[00:20:32] who is he talking for,
[00:20:34] why is he talking this,
[00:20:37] till yesterday,
[00:20:38] till 2021,
[00:20:40] he was singing a different tone,
[00:20:41] he didn't want religion,
[00:20:42] to be mixed with politics,
[00:20:43] and all of a sudden,
[00:20:45] he is now the protector,
[00:20:46] of Hinduism,
[00:20:48] what will happen,
[00:20:49] if things changed,
[00:20:50] political atmosphere change,
[00:20:52] in 2024,
[00:20:53] or 2025,
[00:20:54] or 2026,
[00:20:55] or 2027,
[00:20:56] if the political atmosphere change,
[00:20:58] who knows,
[00:20:59] who does he support,
[00:21:00] how does he,
[00:21:01] how do you know,
[00:21:02] he will support Hinduism,
[00:21:03] and I am asking this as a Hindu,
[00:21:06] how do I know,
[00:21:07] he will support me,
[00:21:08] he will support Hinduism,
[00:21:12] so the point,
[00:21:13] that I am trying to make is,
[00:21:15] you see,
[00:21:16] beware of people,
[00:21:17] who uses,
[00:21:19] Hinduism,
[00:21:20] as a ladder,
[00:21:22] to climb,
[00:21:22] their political ambition,
[00:21:24] we should be,
[00:21:25] we should beware of them,
[00:21:29] their ideologies,
[00:21:30] has changed,
[00:21:31] so many times,
[00:21:32] and so drastically,
[00:21:34] from black to white,
[00:21:35] from white to black,
[00:21:37] drastically,
[00:21:39] and we are expected,
[00:21:40] to actually,
[00:21:42] in fact,
[00:21:43] they expect us,
[00:21:44] to actually believe,
[00:21:46] what they say,
[00:21:47] to actually believe,
[00:21:48] that they are there,
[00:21:50] they will give their,
[00:21:51] whatever up,
[00:21:51] to ensure that,
[00:21:53] Hinduism is protected,
[00:21:54] my religion is protected,
[00:21:56] that is the question,
[00:21:58] I wanted to ask tonight,
[00:22:01] I hope,
[00:22:02] I made my point clear,
[00:22:04] do write in your comments,
[00:22:05] let me know,
[00:22:06] what you think about this,
[00:22:07] until I see you next time,
