00:00Good evening, you're watching Super 6 here on India Today. I'm Akshita Ananthakopal.
00:04The Vox debate is on the way in the Rajya Sabha. We're hours away
00:07from voting also taking place. Let's cut across live now to JP Nadda.
00:30Why not? Why not? Why not?
01:00What can I do if you don't believe me?
01:04We'll just say that we have the evidence and with the evidence
01:08we can understand these things.
01:10And if we keep this in mind, it will be good.
01:14Mr. Speaker, I have tried to stay on the subject.
01:19And I have quoted all the clauses and all the sub-sections.
01:24All the sub-sections tell us how this law has gone in the wrong direction.
01:31Between 2013 and 2025, the Muslim Brotherhood has suffered a great loss.
01:37And the Zameen Maafis have taken a lot out of it.
01:41And the Zameen Maafis have taken a lot out of it.
01:47I think that the Congress Party should stay away from these Malaikhors.
01:54Although it's difficult to stay away, it's a habit.
02:01But they should stay away from the Malaikhors.
02:05And if they worry about the poor Muslims, their education, their health,
02:11it will be very good. That's what I want to say.
02:14At the end, I want to say one more thing, Mr. Speaker.
02:18I have seen something new.
02:20People give their speeches here.
02:22Then they pick up their bags and leave.
02:24Now whom should we answer?
02:26Now we have a gentleman here.
02:30Because I see from here, I see a little more.
02:37180 degrees.
02:39They come to give a speech.
02:41And they leave.
02:44Honourable members, on several occasions,
02:52I have indicated to the House, particularly,
02:57and I have no hesitation,
02:59because I believe in the wisdom, sagacity, and patience
03:04of very distinguished members of the fraternity to which I belong.
03:12Parliamentary work is not casual.
03:17Parliamentary work is responsible.
03:21On Monday and Friday, we have no precedence.
03:28And the best you learn is by sitting in the House,
03:32listening to others.
03:34It is very painful.
03:36You come, make your speech,
03:38and more often than not,
03:40give a bite outside.
03:42I am enriched by the experience of several members,
03:47not from what they say in the House,
03:50but by what they say on television debates,
03:53or in articles of newspapers.
03:56We should collectively think,
03:58and it is not a comment on individuals,
04:01because the number is very large.
04:05Sir, I just want to say one thing.
04:10You keep your company close by.
04:13They have said a lot here.
04:17Half of their speech has been expunged.
04:20Now I think they should think about
04:23what is the benefit of giving such a speech
04:25that more than half of it gets expunged.
04:27But it happened.
04:28And they said an incident.
04:30And they said that a big power came and went.
04:34They forgot that their own leaders
04:37were saying a few months ago,
04:40that Modi ji,
04:42you will have to take another birth
04:44to bring the government here.
04:47They forgot that the people of Delhi
04:49have cleaned up in this election.
04:51They have dug up the dust.
04:54Congress celebrated it.
04:59And Congress celebrated it.
05:01Now I just want to say that
05:03I went to see what was bad.
05:05I didn't find anything bad.
05:07Whatever you find in your heart,
05:09there is nothing worse than me.
05:11I went to look for myself in the world.
05:14What is my activity?
05:16And how have you been working?
05:18And how have the people of Delhi
05:20taught you a lesson?
05:22I don't want to go to Maharashtra yet.
05:26I don't want to go to Haryana yet.
05:29I don't want to go to Haryana yet.
05:31But yes,
05:34humility always pays.
05:37That we should understand and realize.
05:40And there is nothing important about it.
05:42I don't believe it.
05:44In our school, when we played cricket,
05:46there were some people who were
05:48a little muscle man type.
05:49They used to get out.
05:50They used to say, I don't believe it.
05:51They got out.
05:52They got bored.
05:53I don't believe it.
05:54If I don't believe it,
05:55then there is no answer.
05:56But may God give us the proof
05:59that you should also believe it
06:01and come with us.
06:02Thank you very much.

45:34These are images of Prime Minister Modi meeting and greeting the Indian diaspora.
45:40As you saw also gifts being handed over to him.
45:42He was seen accepting some of these gifts and also ensuring that he personally greeted every single person there.
45:50Now Prime Minister Modi and the Thailand Prime Minister Srinivasa also held bilateral talks and exchanged MOUs before the PIMSTEC summit.
46:06In fact six agreements have been signed for cooperation in various fields including IT, Maritime, MSME, Handicraft and Handloom sectors.
46:22Also importantly you had a very important and significant gift being given to Prime Minister Modi presented with the World Tipitaka Sajjaya Phonetic Edition by Thai Prime Minister Srinivasa.
46:46It's a holy scripture that was gifted to Prime Minister Modi.
47:00The big headline moment from the Prime Minister's Thailand visit will be the PIMSTEC summit.
47:05The sixth PIMSTEC summit being held in Bangkok tomorrow morning.
47:09Prime Minister Modi is touched down for this particular event.
47:13Prime Minister Modi and Prime Minister Srinivasa held bilateral talks.
47:17The MOUs covered IT culture, Ministry of Micro and Small and Medium Enterprises.
47:24Now importantly at the PIMSTEC summit Bangladesh will also be there and a meeting is on the cards.
47:29We don't know yet if that will happen but Chief Advisor Mohammad Yunus has sought a meeting with Prime Minister Modi.
47:37Let's get you some of the highlights of the Prime Minister's message after the bilateral meeting.
47:42India and Thailand have a long history of deep cultural and spiritual ties.
47:54Buddhism has been with us for many generations.
47:59From Ayodhya to Nalanda, we have been blessed with many scholars.
48:06The story of Ramayana and Thai people have been a part of our lives.
48:11The influence of Sanskrit language is still evident in our languages and traditions.
48:19Last year, the holy relics of Lord Buddha were sent from India to Thailand.
48:28I am very happy to announce that more than 4 million Buddhists will have the opportunity to visit Thailand.
48:36I am also very happy to announce that in 1960, the holy relics found in Arawal, Gujarat will also be sent to Thailand.
48:52More than 600 Buddhists will be a part of this spiritual and cultural gathering.
48:59This is a message of world peace and harmony.
49:23Mohammed Yunus recently claimed that the Northeast is a landlocked region and said it was a push for Chinese expansionism.
49:30Seven states of India, eastern part of India, called Seven Sisters, they are landlocked country, landlocked region of India.
49:43They have no way to reach out to the ocean.
49:45We are the only guardian of the ocean for all this region.
49:50So this opens up a huge possibility.
49:52So this could be an extension of the Chinese economy.
49:56Build things, produce things, market things, bring things to China, bring it out to the rest of the world.
50:05That's a production house for you.
50:08So that's the opportunity we should seize and we should implement, we should get it done.
50:12Nepal has unlimited hydropower, which is a blessing.
50:17Bhutan has unlimited hydropower.
50:19That's a blessing.
50:20We can bring it to our purpose.
50:22We are setting up our factories and so on.
50:24And from Bangladesh, you can go anywhere you want because the ocean is in our backyard.
50:31So this is the opportunity that we want to take.
50:34And not necessarily it will be something you produce and sell it to the world.
50:38You can produce in Bangladesh, sell it to China too.
50:43And as I wrap up this edition of Super 6, I'm leaving you with a very special image that came in really from the Prime Minister's visit to Thailand.
50:52A reminder of what unites India and Thailand.
50:56Our cultures, our traditions so similar that we saw also a portrayal of the Ramayana called Ramakhel in Thailand.
51:03Enjoy this.
