00:00We have some news just coming in at this point in time.
00:02The CBI is waiting the AAP Gujarat in charge.
00:07Durgesh is what we are learning.
00:09AAP NETA facing a foreign fund misuse charge.
00:13AAP price found as the Gujarat co-incharge is being waited by the CBI is what we are learning right now.
00:19AAP says the BJP is trying to hit the AAP Gujarat poll campaign.
00:24And that's the reason why Vendetta is playing out in this fashion.
00:30This is the reason why Vendetta is to donate it.

05:34We are working on the law and we will fight against the law and the wrong thing, we will
05:46prove the wrong thing.
05:49With Tamash of BJP, clear political vendetta, everybody knows that this case is completely
05:59a false case. Nothing is there. They want to take revenge on their political enemies.
06:10They are misusing the agencies to target the opposition.
06:13This is just vendetta politics. It is very, very clear. I mean, when they want to divert
06:20attention, they come on to Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhiji. Why is the ED going after only
06:27opposition members, opposition political leaders and not whoever is there?
06:33Now, we never said Ajit Pawar is corrupt. The Prime Minister of India said Ajit Pawar is corrupt.
06:38And when he becomes part of the Bhatia Janta Party government, the case is withdrawn.
06:45He is asking the public that needs to touch the Fatia Janta Party.
06:46The foreign ones.
06:48The other people have been warned them.
06:49Peace is about to carry out.
06:50I am going back to the family.
06:51Now, I am going to have to go to your house.
06:54The case of PSVI.
06:56And now these are violent parrots.
06:58We have to get rid of it.
07:02What is the problem that is evil?
07:03Rahul Gandhi often accused Adani and Ambani that how you have made so much money.
07:18My question is, being a politician, being a member from a political family,
07:24where from you have earned that business tricks to convert 50 lakhs rupees to 2,000 crores?
07:30Now, if you teach us the same formula, at least I can reverse the fate of Assam.
07:37I can also do the same thing for the state of Assam.
07:41Ashwarya is with us for the very latest on that story.
07:44Ashwarya, this of course continues to play out in a predictable way,
07:47with the Congress and the opposition collectively standing behind the Gandhi's visibly,
07:50are asking that whoever joins the BJPO, becomes a part of the NDA,
07:56NDA is naturally cleansed of all the corruption charges that they are facing.
08:02For example, Ajit Bawar.
08:03Well, we are seeing that, you know, it's the BJP which is now pointing fingers, Neha,
08:11at the Gandhi family and saying that everything is on paper, it's black and white.
08:16They are, they did back then make sure that they do get the shares and properties
08:20and this is what the BJP and in fact even what the ED at the moment is saying,
08:24properties worth 700 crore rupees are with the Gandhis
08:27and that's something that at the moment is being looked at.
08:30We are also seeing how the opposition parties are rallying behind the Gandhi family.
08:34We also saw how a lot of people came out on the streets and said
08:37what's happening with the Gandhi family is not correct.
08:39But the BJP very, very clear and even asking the questions of the Congress party,
08:43do you want the law to take its own course or not?
08:46Why are you coming out on the streets?
08:48Let law take its own course.
08:49That's what the BJP and the agencies at the moment are saying.
08:51But yes, the opposition rallying behind the Gandhis and pointing fingers and saying
08:55that this is nothing more than just political vendetta.
08:57Sneha.
08:58Thank you for the moment.
08:59Getting in those details is my colleague Aishwarya telling us about how this is playing out politically
09:05with the raids that continue and with the ED's chart sheet essentially against the Gandhis
09:10that has led to just so much furor.
09:13Political blame game over Bengal violence continues.
09:15Murshidabad victims led by West Bengal BJP chief Shukanta Majumdar met the Bengal DGP
09:21at the police headquarters on Wednesday.
09:23Union minister Shukanta Majumdar claimed that the PFI was active in Murshidabad
09:28ahead of the violence as per statements from victims.
09:31Also said that call for riots was given from the loudspeaker of a masjid.
09:36This as per the statements of the victims there.
09:39The BJP, meanwhile, has demanded a permanent BSF camp in violence hit areas
09:44and immediate compensation to victims of the clashes.
09:48Earlier, the CGI said the violence in Bengal is disturbing and that the issue will be taken
09:53up by the Supreme Court.
09:55Meanwhile, the TMC's sedimentate action has been taken in the aftermath of the violence,
09:59including arrest of over 270 accused in homes are being rebuilt as well.
10:05The chief minister herself in West Bengal says that she will not accept and will not implement
10:13this act in her state.
10:16That will be construed as defying the constitutional spirits and also at the same time instigating
10:25the people.
10:26The violence which had happened in Murshidabad and other parts of West Bengal and we do sporadic
10:31incidents elsewhere, these are the result of these unmindful political statements given
10:39by Mamata Benerji and some of the political leaders.
10:42But these are political stunts.
10:45If a chief minister says that he or she will not follow the constitutional requirement, that
10:52means his or her occupation into the position of chief leadership itself is untenable because
10:59any law passed by the parliament is for the nation.
11:02It applies to entire territory of India.
11:04So how can a person sitting in a constitutional position clearly, you know, defying the spirit
11:14of the constitution?
11:15That is undone.
11:16You know, we can't accept that.
11:18But as I said, these are political statements for political gains to take a posture to please
11:25certain communities for political interests.
11:29And that is totally untenable.
11:32And we can't accept that.
11:33As mentioned by them, the call for riot was given from the loudspeaker of the masjid.
11:41If BJP comes into power and this type of incident happens, we will ban masjid or any other religion,
11:48campus, which will be used in case of provoking the riots in area, any area.
11:55And we will not do that.
12:25But one time they didn't have time to get out of the house.
12:33There are a few Hindu people.
12:35What is wrong with them?
12:37What have they done?
12:39If they have done something, then let them leave.
12:43What have they done?
12:45Today, they are gone from home.
12:47They are not on the back.
12:50They are eating food.
12:54Why?
12:55What for?
12:57But this is the world.
13:00The world is the world.
13:02The world is the world.
13:04If they are the world,
13:08the world is the world.
13:12There are a number of ground reports that the BJP paid certain people,
13:16to flee Bushidabad.
13:18The BJP-led central government is in charge of the border security.
13:22Now tell me, the BJP is telling us that Bangladeshi terrorists were involved in this entire chaos or communal clash that took place.
13:36Now tell me who is in charge of the border security?
13:40Who runs the BSF?
13:41It is Mr. Amit Shah.
13:43So why is it that a section of Bangladeshi, these Jamaatis and Jihadis, they entered Mushirabad,
13:51they ransacked the houses of the Hindus, and they went back to Bangladesh?
13:56Who facilitated it?
13:58So, of course, a section of the BSF is involved, and this is a conspiracy hatched by the BJP-led central government.
14:06And one of the BSF jawans, or maybe someone else who was guised as a BSF jawan,
14:12he opened fire on a Muslim youth.
14:16So you cannot say that everything is hunky and dory.
14:19All right, this has got to do with the tensions between the BJP and the Trinamool Congress as far as the rioting in Murshidabad is concerned.
14:47TMC's allegation is clear.
14:49All of this was incited by the Bharatiya Janata Party for their political gains.
14:53Remember, the waqf matter is also playing out in the Supreme Court of the country.
15:00Yesterday was the first day of the hearing of a clutch of petitions, which is there before the apex court.
15:07Today, the Supreme Court is going to be resuming the hearing on waqf act amendments.
15:12The court is likely to pass an interim order on three key issues, including whether waqf properties will be denotified,
15:18also will determine the extent of the collector's powers and whether non-Muslim members can be included in the waqf board.
15:26On day one of the hearing, petitioners argued that changes bar the declaration of protected monuments as waqf and interfere with inheritance rights.
15:36Chief Justice Sanjeev Khanna clarified that major masjids like Jama masjid won't be impacted.
15:43Inheritance laws apply across communities and undoing waqf would carry legal consequences.
15:48The top court signaled a status quo on three amended provisions offering interim relief.
15:54Properties declared as waqf by user or court won't be notified at least for now.
15:59While collectors may initiate inquiries, the amended provisions won't apply at this stage.
16:04The court also clarified that only ex-official members of waqf boards can be non-Muslims.
16:09Additionally, the bench took note of concerns around violence during protests linked to this issue.
16:15The creation of waqf cannot be done on tribal land, which is any land falls in sixth and fifth schedule of the constitution.
16:30So it will not have an impact on the tribal areas.
16:34Protesting is only the opposition parties, those political parties, which treat the Muslim community as vote banks.
16:41They create, you know, fear-mongering. They keep scaring the Muslim community.
16:46And from the long time I have been witnessing these people, they don't want Muslim community to develop.
16:53They want to keep them isolated, create fear in their mind, and then make them anti-BJP.
17:00But many of the Muslim communities are now coming forward.
17:03It's a government of a while.
17:04They're making things down in the same time.
17:05And many of the Muslims are not in their own behalf.
17:09They're making any media effort.
17:11These Jews have been outraged.
17:13They're in their own behalf.
17:16Any land grabbards or mafia who live in their own behalf.
17:22They are among other leaders who live in their own behalf.

19:43will be restored and we will continue to run and administer our work properties as per
19:50our religious custom traditions and laws and we expect from the Supreme Court that our
19:58religious freedom will be restored.
20:13I'm going straight across to Amit Bhardwaj for more details. Amit, today is the day two of the hearing in the Supreme Court and some interim relief is also expected today. Given how things went yesterday, there is a sense of optimism among the petitioners who've challenged the Waf law that there could be some relief coming the way, isn't it?
20:43Right, Sneha. You know, what has been the biggest concern for the opposition parties and the petitioners against the Work Government Act that has been majorly surrounded around work by user properties and litigation that might be triggered if work by user is, you know, the area for controversy litigation is left open as far as the disputed properties is concerned or the government related properties.
21:13So, that has been a major concern of the opposition parties in the JPC, in the parliament as well as and of the petitioners who had approached the Supreme Court of India against these amendments that were brought by the NDA government.
21:25So, yesterday when that interim order was being pondered upon, many of these petitioners that we had spoken to, they seemed really happy with the fact that Supreme Court of India is actually pondering upon the fact that they would be telling the government to not denotify the properties of the work by user.
21:45Now, what is work by user for our viewers understanding? Any property where there is not sale deed existing, but it has been acting like a work for years and decades and in many cases centuries, for instance, Jammah Majid.
21:59So, the government cannot denotify these properties. That's what the Supreme Court is pondering upon and the petitioners are happy about this.
22:10However, the Solicitor General wants to put its own argument on behalf of the government and will have to wait and watch as to how the Supreme Court proceedings move forward when the bench reassembles at 2 p.m. today.
22:24and will be hearing to the arguments of the government through Solicitor General and the second count which could be part of the interim order that was suggested by the bench yesterday
22:35is that ex-officio members about the non-Muslim members on the board, on the work board.
22:42So, the Supreme Court had suggested that it could pass an interim order where the non-Muslim members will be restricted to the ex-officio members.
22:52Now, who are ex-officio members? Any member who is put on the work board by the government, who are nominated by the government would be the ex-officio members
23:02and the Supreme Court is pondering upon the fact that the non-Muslim members on the work board should be limited to the ex-officio members
23:10and everyone else on the work board should be from the Muslim community.
23:15So, this is what was being pondered upon by the Supreme Court bench yesterday, but we'll have to wait for the hearing for the bench to reassemble at 2 p.m. today.
23:25What are the arguments that are going to be given by the government that needs to be seen, as well as what are the counters that could be given by the petitioners in this case?
23:35Back to you.
23:35Thank you for the moment, Amit Bhardwaj, putting in his perspective.
23:39Remember, the hearing in these matters, it's a clutch of petitions, it's going to resume at 2 p.m. today.
23:46And we have more news coming in.
23:55The Calcutta High Court is to once again hear the leader of the opposition, Shubindu Adhikari's plea seeking permission to visit violence at Murshidabad,
24:04alleging that police has refused permission.
24:06Yesterday, the matter was heard by a branch, which released the case for the Chief Justice.
24:11In fact, to take this up today, High Court to also hear a plea filed by BJP leader Priyanka Tebriwal seeking NIA probe into the Murshidabad, Zayatane matter.
24:21Indrajeet has more on that.
24:23Indrajeet, tell us what is expected in court today.
24:27There are a bunch of questions they have, which will come up before the Chief Justice.
24:31One of court is by the leader of the opposition in West Bengal, Shubindu Adhikari.
24:35Yesterday, he had leave the Calcutta High Court, was for one of the benches in the Calcutta High Court,
24:42but to the bench, released the Naga for the Chief Justice to take a call.
24:46Shubindu Adhikari, the institution of court has alleged that the West Bengal police have not given him permission,
24:52refused permission, citing law and order issues, which of course is a great concern right now in Murshidabad for any political business.
25:01Earlier, of course, the Deputy Secretary Shubindu Mahinda has told that he doesn't intend to visit Murshidabad right now,
25:08which is one of the Chief Administration to bring a soft sentence of normalcy into India.
25:13Leader of the opposition, of course, wants to visit the AIME.
25:17Those who have been affected by the criminals and that seems to be heard sometime later in the afternoon at around 12, we are told.
25:26There are also a bunch of petitions by other BJP leaders, including the VHP as well,
25:32which has sought NIA investigation into the violence in Murshidabad.
25:38BJP leader, Priyanka Tibriwal, has filed a petition and a separate petition has also been filed by the Vishwa Hindu petition.
25:45So, all this likely has come up today, later in the day, at the Calcutta High Court.
25:49Thanking you for the moment and Rajeet Kundu getting us up to speed with those details as far as the leader of the opposition,
25:54Shubindu Adhikari's plea and also BJP leader's plea seeking an NIA probe in this matter in Murshidabad rioting case is concerned.
26:04The Calcutta High Court is hearing that today.
26:06More news coming in, the Kheekarnataka cabinet meeting for CAST survey with Malikarjun Khadge Singh.
26:12Special meeting to discuss the CAST survey.
26:15Every state conducts its own survey, says the Congress President.
26:22It's a key meeting to discuss the revelations of the CAST survey that was done way back in 2015.
26:29But the details, remember, were put out very recently.
26:32It's a meeting to discuss this issue, fed back, given the opposition that is coming from certain CAST,
26:38like Bokalegas, for example, who opposed the way this survey was done.
26:44The CAST survey has also invited the flag of the Bharatiya Janata Party,
26:49that has accused the Congress government of shock-changing OBCs, STs and STs,
26:55and benefitting Muslim minorities, is what the BJP has said.
26:59This report is approved by the R 하지만 Kheekarnataka.
27:05The Commission is published in the newspapers, and the government is the same.
27:08This is the 2014 government and the white people said that.
27:10This is the first report we have made the law查 and the administration of Kheekarnataka.
27:13I think the president is now going to discuss what the result is that they will discuss.
27:17We will not be awarded at the cabinet of Kheekarnataka.
27:22We do not have funded it.
27:24That is why the Supreme Court is the same.
27:26This is the same for the court.
27:26the cost survey report is going to be taken up by the Karnataka cabinet today is what the law
27:36minister of the state has said the survey was commissioned in 2015 and the government has said

28:56to be very diplomatic in terms of putting their dissent note down in front of the chief minister they are
29:01saying that we are not okay with the numbers that has been given to us in the cast since this report
29:06our community organizations also have vocally spoken about how they're much larger in number 66 lakhs is the
29:13number given to Lingayat population 61 lakhs to Vokal Liga population both these dominant communities
29:18politically and economically feel that they are much more in number and hence they don't want to lose the
29:23political clout tomorrow the equations would change the villages if they seem to be less than other
29:29communities and hence seven Lingayat and five Vokal Liga ministers seven Lingayat ministers are telling the
29:35chief minister today not to consider this if not to have a fresh survey or to update the data is what
29:42these ministers would suggest to the chief minister we'll have to wait and watch what happens in the

30:22education survey report a chief minister on wednesday assured that his government would not allow
30:28injustice to any community according to this report which is yet to be made public the Vokal Liga and the
30:34Lingayat population declined in the state and on the other hand population of muslims and scheduled
30:40tribes have increased here this has triggered some political unrest even within the ruling congress
30:45several leaders are openly speaking out against the caste census and saying plain and simple
30:50this will spell doom for the party the census has happened in 2014 to 15 it is 10 years so we are
31:00requesting him since we have come back to power since our all india congress committee our leader
31:05raul gandhi has said we come to power everywhere we will do this caste census since we have already
31:11done it so we are requesting today again we have done it many times in the last one year today our
31:17honorable chief minister should accept this and put it to the purview of the public in karnataka at the
31:23earliest this is not a cast census it is a socio-educational survey conducted by kantarag
31:29and jaiprakash akadeh submitted the report to the government of karnataka we are the people we are the
31:35people who demanded for the survey to be placed in the cabinet for quite some time i was also part of
31:41it so i welcome the move of sudramaya saab placing the report before the cabinet let us wait for the
31:47cabinet to take a decision on this this socio-economic survey is for the whole society
31:52to understand the societal background the survey has come out the cabinet is going to discuss this
32:00it is too early for people to jump in and come out with a reaction mls can have their own opinion
32:07but the party as a whole has come out with a decision that socio-economic survey should be conducted
32:15and its recommendations should be debated and it should in consensus try to implement it
32:22the karnataka cost survey that estimates a 38 percent increase in the population of obcs and
32:28recommends increasing obc quota has turned the state's politics on its head as widespread discontent
32:34brewing among the dominant lingayat and vokalega communities the survey also split the congress
32:39government in the state with many ministers opposing the findings the socio-economic study was
32:44conducted 10 years ago in 2015 the question is why has sidramaya decided to put out the cost survey now
32:52hours before the karnataka cost survey report is placed before the state cabinet a big political
33:02storm is brewing in the state the survey that recommends increasing the obc quota in the state from the

34:07leaders within the ruling party who have described it as a grave injustice to their community
34:13our top vocal leader has also called for dk shivakumar to be made chief minister
34:31the
35:01attention has also turned to Jai Prakash Hegri chairman of the Karnataka State Commission for
35:09backward classes and a bunt Bukkaliga himself they should not complain without seeing it it's
35:17just for the sake of politics they should not complain I would ask them to even after tomorrow's
35:26cabinet decision they should take the cassette or CD whatever it is to compare it with the figures
35:32Chief Minister Sidharmaya who initially backed the report is now more cautious

37:24all right I'm going straight across to Akshita for more details Akshita what more can you tell us about this scientist discovering an alien planet what more can you tell us
37:35well first of all Sneha it's very very of course interesting and at the same time gives us so much hope because we all know how curious we all are about whether alien life exists or not but I have to add a word of caution here that this is just the very first initial sign of some sort of life what kind of life
37:54are we talking about are we talking about intelligent life forms like humans at this point too early to speculate because what's been found is two gases essentially on the surface of the planet this planet by the way is
38:05called k2 18b there's no name given for it because these are light years away massive systems where you have hundreds such planets small ones big ones etc this planet called k2 18b there are two gases found which are emitted by algae at least in planet earth it's emitted by algae which is why these scientists including Indian origin scientist Nikuma
38:27the Sudden who's part of the University of Cambridge they are hopeful that this is a sign that this microbial life on this planet so it could indicate two things either that it's a sign of alien life or second that it's a habitable planet for you and me now the reason and we've seen so much speculation about this about whether Mars is habitable especially because you have you know icy water there these planets are referred to as you know being in a place that's called a habitable zone which means that it's very similar to how earth is in the sense that even this planet
38:57k2 18b has oceans oceans that are much much warmer than what's on planet earth it revolves around a star which is much smaller than the sun but nevertheless revolving around a red star so all of this gives hope that it's very similar to how planet earth is but to actually get more details to be able to dig out whether you know there is any sort of life aliens etc it will take a lot more research this has been done using the James Webb telescope which of course has been a game changer in discovering and researching
39:27about solar systems much beyond ours this particular planet that we're talking about lies in a constellation called Leo so to get there it's hundreds of light years away not an easy task so using the James Webb telescope and all the other you know resources that they have they are going to try and find what details they can but this is just the first sign really and there's going to be a lot more research needed to know if it's habitable one or if there's already life existing on this planet well in doubt
39:57probably the strongest evidence of alien life yet is what is being said listening now in fact from Professor Niku Madhusudan from the University of Cambridge what he's got to say about these findings
40:09we have found evidence for possible biological activity on an exoplanet this is we have found signs of biosignature molecules either DMS or DMDS or both both of which are produced uniquely by life here on earth and have been predicted to be biosignatures on planet
40:39planets around other stars as well and we found the strongest evidence to date on a biosignature molecule in this case a combination potentially around another star outside the solar system and that is a major breakthrough in our search for life beyond the solar system
41:04you know Akshita it is being said that realistically this signal can be confirmed within a year or two offering us a lot of hope and yes a great deal of excitement about whether indeed there are aliens not and all those stories are true or not isn't it
41:20very true and you know at this point we will need further research within a year yes they will be able to ensure using the help of the James Webb telescope
41:29and much more to kind of dig deeper into whether this is the first sign of more life biosignatures is what they're looking into these biosignatures
41:37what I'm referring to is essentially the gases that they've been able to detect around this planet k2 18b now at this point and you see this very often with you know Mars where you have actual studies taking place because we've been able to land equipment on the planet we have of course these trolls so that's managed to do it and find water on these planets for something like a k2 18b it is very very complicated to actually get any resources right up till the constellation
42:04Leo because like I said it's about 120 light years away from planet earth so for anyone to get there will take hundreds of years not feasible obviously and even to go through beyond our solar system is extremely complicated so right now all research all data will be collected using telescopes and telescopes only
42:24even scientists right now have caution saying that look while this is the first sign of biosignatures of microbial life to actually deem that there's aliens living there is maybe preempting what's going to happen it could be of course that you see a habitable zone so for planet earth for humans it's great news does that translate to already living beings there we don't know just yet but like I said this falls in an area where you have planets largely with water not frozen water like Mars or Venus but actual water
42:54water with oceans so that itself gives you a great sense and sign of hope well absolutely you know the big question here is whether this kind of a gas can be emitted only by algae or there would be higher living beings who are going to be able to do that and that really is the mood question young stuff very true you know the reason that everyone's talking about this discovery is so far there's been no planet where we've actually seen a phytoplankton or algae actually grow and these are marine creatures so like I said you need water for it distant
43:24planets yes it's possible because they have oceans they have warmer temperatures around unlike what you see on Mars or Venus or around our current solar system so this is the first time that you're seeing any sense of what exists on planet earth being there on other planets as well it's a great distance away and this is something scientists knew that you know we're looking at some of these planets having water which itself is that first sign but what about the air what kind of gases surround it
43:52so you've got now two gases being confirmed which are emitted by phytoplankton which means that it's habitable for algae which means that there's water there the air also may be better than other planets so all this of course will be something that will be investigated largely falls in the realms
44:09of astrobiology of astrobiology which is such a fascinating sub-topic of when we look at really the research into space and that helps you kind of understand what kind of life is possible which is why very often when you see these kind of research projects that astronauts take up at the international space station or otherwise even at mars for that matter it's always about first seeing what kind of microorganisms can survive whether plants can survive because that's the first step in checking how habitable really a planet
44:39but like i said first of many steps well absolutely i'm going to thank you akshita for getting in those details akshita putting that story into perspective scientists of course finding the strongest evidence yet of life on an alien planet what next ahead is the big question here
44:55all right coming back to earth now here's what's happening in tamilnadu it's a political twist that could shake up the road to 2026 with the aiadmk and bjp are back together we know teaming up to take on the ruling dmk but even as the alliance takes shape
45:12make signals from the aiadmk chief edepadi kepal and sami are raising one key question who's really in charge
45:25the aiadmk and bjp are back together after contesting the 2024 loksabha polls separately and losing all 39 seats to the dmk-led front the two parties are realigning to avoid splitting anti-dmk votes
45:50but even before the alliance could take off aiadmk chief edepadi palani swami has rocked the boat
46:00just a week ago while sharing the dais with ebs amit shah had claimed the two would form the state government together
46:27but sources suggest talks on cabinet sharing will happen only after a win
46:32aiadmk and bjp kya jho alliance ka matlab milke raj yampis banayenge kya push
46:41ji ham saath mein sarokar banayenge ham chunao edapadi ji ke nithruton me lade
46:47agar jitengah toh bjp kya jho mlash na mentri banayenge kya push
46:51woham jitne ke baat tai kareenge maiz koi confusion chhodna nahi chata dmk ke liye
46:59ham edapadi ji ke nithruton me chunao ladenge
47:02had they joined forces in 2024 the nda might have won up to 13 seats
47:08while aiadmk is strong in rural areas the bjp brings urban and youth support
47:15together they hope to challenge the dmk's dominance with stalin's solid
