00:00Focus to the other big story we're tracking here on Five Live and that's an attack on the house of Samajwadi Party MP
00:07Ramjilal Suman in Agra in Uttar Pradesh over his statement on Maharana Sangha
00:14Enraged members of the Karni Sena reached the residence of Ramjilal Suman with a bulldozer on winds
00:21Earlier, Karni Sena members that protested outside the Madhya Pradesh office of the Samajwadi Party
00:27and objected to Ramjilal Suman's remarks on the Rajput Emperor, Rajput King Maharana Sangha
00:35The Karni Sena announced a reward of about 5 lakh rupees on a person who blackened Ramjilal Suman's face and hit him with shoes
00:42The conflict originated over Ramjilal Suman's statement in Rajya Sabha on the 21st of March
00:47where he categorically labelled Mewar's pride, Mewar's ruler Maharana Sangha as a traitor
00:55claiming Hindus were his descendants
00:58and this inflammatory comment struck a raw nerve with the Karni Sena an organisation renowned for a patchnet defence of the historical legacy of the Rajputana
01:08But, of course, Ramjilal Suman has been backed by Akhilesh Yadav
01:13The fact remains, instead of attacking Ramjilal Suman's house or breaking cars and vandalising property around his house
01:22why did Karni Sena not put out facts about Maharana Sangha and his valour in public domain?
01:52We have not written history 200-100 years ago. Who has written history?
02:05That is why I request the Indian Nationalist Party and the entire Uttar Pradesh Socialist Party
02:13not to change the pages of history
02:16Because if the pages of history are changed, people will remember that when Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was to be circumcised
02:24no one circumcised him and he was not circumcised by hand
02:28I have heard that he was circumcised with the thumb of his left foot
02:34Will the Indian Nationalist Party condemn this today?
02:39Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was the founder of the Hindu Swaraj
02:43Now, when you talk about Maharana Sangha, he had repeatedly defeated Ibrahim Lodi
02:49not once, twice, he defeated the...
02:52You know, I will get into this entire history of the valour of Maharana Sangha
02:56and the question here remains, why is it that those who are indulging in vandalising these areas
03:02why are they not bringing out these facts?
03:04He was one of the most dominant Rajput rulers of Mewar
03:08He had fought and won multiple battles
03:11known for his unwavering courage, leading from the front
03:15despite being injured, despite losing an arm and a leg in a battle
03:19he defeated the Lodis, the Khiljis
03:23he took on the Sultanate of Gujarat
03:26he defeated multiple rulers
03:28but the fact remains, these aspects are not highlighted
03:32What is highlighted is a claim that he is the one who invited Babur to defeat Ibrahim Lodi
03:41It is being claimed, of course, this is a fact that is contested amongst historians too
03:46but I quickly want to bring in India Today's Samarth Srivastav for more on this
03:51Samarth, what more can you tell us about this controversy
03:55and why is it that the police were not able to protect Ramjilal Suman's house in Agra
04:00and there was so much vandalism there?
04:30They were quite hurt with the statement of Ramjilal Suman
04:33where he called Rana Sanga as a traitor
04:36comparing him with Babur
04:38even saying that Rana Sanga invited Babur to fight against Ibrahim Lodi
04:42and that's why, because he called Rana Sanga also a traitor
04:45and that's why Kurni Sena members were unhappy
04:48and that's why they reached there and created ruckus
04:50Not just that, they even vandalised around 10 cars
04:54that were parked outside some furniture
04:56and the initial gate which was erected right outside the house
05:00as per the police reports
05:01Though, policemen have detained many persons who created ruckus outside
05:05and it seems that as per the policemen, a fire could also be registered in this particular case
05:09but if you talk about this particular controversy
05:12then it all starts with the Salar Ghazi
05:15and then moves to Aurangzeb
05:17and then now from Babur it came to Rana Sanga
05:21where some party leaders are saying that Rana Sanga was great
05:25while Samajwadi party MP clearly saying
05:27while Akhilesh Shadab also backing
05:29Though, latest statement has also come from Akhilesh Shadab
05:32about this particular vandalism that happened in Agra
05:35Akhilesh is saying that Lalji Suman's house was vandalised
05:39because he is a Dalit
05:41so that's what Akhilesh Shadab has refuted to this particular claims
05:45of the vandalism that happened today
05:47so it's going to be worth seeing if a fire could be registered in this particular case
05:50but yes, it's worth mentioning here
05:52that another war from the pages of history
05:55has begun in the state of Uttar Pradesh
05:57back to you
05:58Okay, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath
06:01he's also responded to those who either praise the invaders
06:05like Babur and Salar Ghazi
06:07and Aurangzeb
06:09who is seen as somebody who is extremely cruel
06:12and a bigot
06:13and those who praise the likes of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
06:17Maharaja Pratap
06:18and Guru Gobind Singh Ji
06:20Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath
06:22he's hit back at the Samajwadi party
06:24over their comments on Maharana Sangha
06:26accusing the opposition of glorifying Aurangzeb, Babur and Jinnah
06:29he questioned their understanding of Indian history
06:32and called them opportunistic
06:34insisting they cannot teach the history
06:37or the valour of Maharana Pratap
06:40or Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
06:42or Guru Gobind Singh Ji
06:44and these are those brave warriors
06:46who always fought against the bigotry of the Mughals
06:50Let's listen in to what Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said
06:53about Maharana Sangha
06:54and the valour of Maharana Pratap
06:57Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
06:58and Guru Gobind Singh Ji
07:02It won't take long for them to hit back
07:06If they are doing it today, they must have to vote somewhere
07:09Some of their leaders have started giving statements
07:12about the losses they are facing
07:14and the difficulties they are facing
07:17They have started saying that
07:19what they are saying is wrong
07:22and they are national heroes
07:26If they had studied the history of Maharana Sangha
07:29those great warriors
07:31whose physical injuries showed
07:35how they fought to save India's culture and religion
07:39how they fought to save India's culture and religion
07:42would they tell about Maharana Pratap, Maharana Sangha
07:45Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
07:47and Guru Gobind Singh Ji?
07:51What do they know about history?
07:54Those who worship Aurangzeb and Babur
07:56those who consider Jinnah as their ideal
07:59can't expect this from them
