00:09and we're just months to go for the election.

00:48A mid-political slugfest over Kartikai Deepam on the stone pillar at Tiruparang Kundram temple,
00:54the Rashtia Svamsevak Sangh has waded into the controversy.
01:00RSS chief Moham Bhagwat has asserted that Tiruparang Kundram issue in Tamil Nadu
01:05can be resolved in the state itself on the basis of the Hindus' strength.
01:10He also said that Hindus in Tamil Nadu are awakening.
01:14I think the issue can be resolved here only, on basis of the Hindus' strength in Tamil Nadu only.
01:25We will not need to escalate it.
01:30But one thing is paka, that issue will be resolved favourably for Hindus.
01:37That is definite.
01:38Whatever it takes for that, we will do.
01:40I rise to condemn the unconstitutional...
01:44BJP MP Tejasvi Surya has also raised the Tamil Nadu Deepam Rao in Parliament today.
01:49This is an attack against the judiciary of the country.
01:54It is an attack on the impartiality of the judges.
01:58The DMK government, supported by the India Alliance and the Congress,
02:02is trying to weaponise impeachment as a method to silence the judiciary.
02:09This not only shows their anti-Hindu sentiments,
02:13but it also displays their contempt for the independence of the judiciary.
02:20Earlier, Home Minister Shah came down heavily on DMK over the impeachment motion
02:25against Justice Jiyaswaminathan,
02:27asking if targeting the judge is okay after losing a case.
02:31The opposition has upped the ante against BJP over the issue.
02:53See, we have given impeachment notice based on 13 charges against Justice Jiyaswaminathan,
03:01signed by 107 MPs of Lok Sabha.
03:04And these 13 charges against him are not new.
03:08It is not related to anything of the recent happening like Tirpurangondam
03:11or any other temple or any other issue.
03:13DMK has been pushing for impeachment of the Deepam case judge,
03:37saying his verdict was biased.
03:39With Assembly post due next year,
03:42it looks like the Temple versus Dargav war will continue to escalate.
