Modi & Rahul Go To War Over Lok Sabha Speaker, Emergency & Constitution I Barkha Dutt LIVE

#samvidhan #modi #rahulgandhi
When Prime Minister Narendra Modi walked up to take oath as the member of the House on Monday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi showed a copy of the Constitution to the PM. This was preceded by PM Modi setting the stage for the government's offensive making a special mention of "the dark days of Emergency" in his customary speech before the commencement of the new Parliament session.
The Government and Opposition are locked in a face-off after the ruling NDA decided to renominate Om Birla for the post of Speaker while not deciding on the post of Deputy Speaker.
Earlier, the Government reached out to the Opposition to arrive at a consensus for the post of Speaker, but the Opposition - combative since its strength has gone up - insisted that the government give a commitment on giving the post of Deputy Speaker to the Opposition.
This has resulted in the Opposition fielding its own candidate, K Suresh, resulting in an election for the post for the first time since 1952.

My respect for tavleen singh is increased manifold. This is the right kind of journalism and journalist we need . She criticised when it is needed she criticize congress before praised modi in 2014 but again criticize him for autocracy and today she again said about rahul gandhi which was correct . So this should be the true sense of journalism criticize the act and not see which party he is

[@MNAIRism]

Next time Ms Dutt, please limit the panel to Rajat, Tavleen and Saba. Thanks

[@kaamilpankaj]

I’ll refer the boiling frog legend. If you put a frog in boiling water it will jump out but if you put the frog in normal water and slowly raise temperature it will not realise till it’s too late. Hence I feel today’s time is way worse and we are slowly losing are civil rights and living in fear to speak our minds.

[@nrusimha11]

Imagine a Rahul Gandhi without power who almost incited the crowd to Lynch a journalist for having the temerity to question him, actually coming to power.

[@shashikalanarayan585]

Ms Manisha is noisy and nonsensical

[@sridharmahalingam8190]

If during emergency the judiciary was proindira today the judiciary is against GOI under Modiji . It's unfortunate the indian express which opposed indira gandhi emergency is now behaving like an official spokesman of Rahul Gandhi. Shame on express

[@shashikalanarayan585]

Plssss stop inviting ms Manisha in future. She makes the situation look like hell for ordinary ppl like us, which is not true at all. Only 2 matured speakers in this panel were, in my opinion, ms Tanveer and Rajat. Manisha mam was very very loud and frightening…. Not good

[@valsalankanara]

Maneesha Priyam was certainly correct and she has a strong consistent position on the subjects.

[@kilohm1853]

I think the other panelists made brilliant points to contradict Manish’s opinion.

Brilliant Comments About The Continued Hypocrisy Of The Indian Congress Party. I Support Rahul Gandhi But I Cannot Accept Double Standards Whether It Is BJP Or Congress. If The Indian Congress Party Is Similar Than I Would Rather Support The BJP. The BJP Then Becomes The Lesser Of Two Devils. The BJP Just Needs To Evolve And Become A More Inclusive Party As Suggested By Shree Mohan Bhagwat, Unfortunately Modi Must Slowly Fade Away And Someone Like Nitin Gadhgari Should Lead BJP

Barkha did you conveniently forget to invite the congress spokesperson? You have the dyed in the wool Rajat who is a BJP acolyte. Tavleen does not have the bottle to criticize the modi govt. (as do the press by and large)and the hypocrisy is there for all to see. All she is good at is taking pot shots at Rahul Gandhi. I dare her to take call Modi out!

[@thomaseaso9262]

Such sad observations from Tavleen

[@kilohm1853]

Yes, sad to see opposition opposing and acting childish! I want a strong opposition to keep the government in check but these jokers are misusing the mandate and opposing for the sake of opposing and not focussing on the right issues. This undermines the whole process and dissuades the government from being kept in check.

[@nagbalkur1365]

day emergency was declared by family, is the day family member takes oath with constitution book. can there be any bigger joke or irony then those who imposed emergency, amended constitution over 80 times (starting with Nehru ), dismissal of state government whenever they wanted (starting with Nehru's dismissal of first non congress government in Kerala in 1956), today talking about protection of constitution. it's a joke that some panelist still try to defend dynasty and emergency.

What about any big development project in bihar. Mr. Modi should stop hating bihari and stop treating bihari a second class citizens. We don't care all these nonsense

[@Sarthy1000]

It's quite depressing that a panel of such intelligent and experienced commentators was so off the mark in this episode. Barring a few exceptions, this whole conversation was a perfect example of “majoring in the minors.” The argument that Modi’s authoritarianism may not be as bad as Indira Gandhi’s emergency is quite simply a cop-out of your roles as journalists and commentators who are supposed to be watchdogs against abuse of power that is happening NOW-not apologists for it on the on the grounds that something worse had happened 50 years ago. Second, I would argue that Modi’s bent for authoritarianism is far more dangerous to the country than Gandhi’s emergency--notwithstanding the fact that “all opposition leaders were jailed” at that time and are not now. The reason is Gandhi’s emergency stemmed from one person’s (her) lust for power. This does not stand much of a chance in a massive, diverse country like India-proven by the fact that Gandhi herself realized it and announced elections, in which she was roundly defeated. In contrast, the reason Modi’s authoritarianism, if not vociferously challenged, can have far more dangerous consequences for the country-is because his intent is to change the very charter of the country from a secular one to a Hindu Rashtra. His brand of authoritarianism calls for ideological brainwashing through propaganda of millions of Hindus against Muslims, their fellow citizens. Indira Gandhi, for all her vulgar power lust, did not have any such overarching ambition of an ideological conversion of the masses of Indians. Hence, her emergency, even though undoubtedly more acute, did not pose as big a risk to the country as Modi’s agenda does. Under such circumstances, to call out Rahul Gandhi’s gesture of waving the constitution as “childish” while making no mention of the breathtaking hypocrisy of Modi lecturing on the importance of the Constitution is to have lost all sense of context and significance. Reigning in an autocratic PM whose party has repeatedly talked about changing the constitution, rather than calling out the opposition for trying to do so, is far more important order of the day. Finally, it is important to separate Rahul Gandhi from Indira Gandhi. Granted, in partisan politics, a party's history and legacy have some relevance. Yet making Rahul responsible or answerable for Indira’s Emergency is not only unfair to him but also a disservice to the business of running the country-because you are barking against the wrong tree. You can’t conduct the business of the nation informed by a 50-year-old history if ground realities have changed.
