00:01भारत के पुर्व मुखे चुनाव आयुक्त यानी की Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Qureshi अपनी नई किताब India and I
00:10को लेकर चर्चा में आ गए हैं।
00:13इस किताब में उन्होंने पुर्व प्रधान मंतरी मनमोहन सिंग के कार्यकाल और चुनाव आयुक को लेकर कई ऐसे अनुभव साजा
00:22किये हैं जो अब तक सारजनिक नहीं हुए थे।
00:25हलाकि सबसे ज़ादा चर्चा का विशे पुर्व प्रधान मंतरी मनमोहन सिंग के पास पहुँचे थे और उनसे शिकायत की थी।
00:48पुर्व चुनाव आयुक्त S.Y. कुरेशी की बात सुनने के बाद पुर्व पी-म मनमोहन सिंग ने कहा था अधर
00:56आपको ऐसा लगता है तो मैं आत्महत्या कर लूंगा S.Y. कुरेशी ने क्या कुछ कहा है सुनिये
01:05So next day Prime Minister called me on my RACS which is our internal exchange and he was so nervous
01:13and so almost in panic, he said Mr. Qureshi I want to meet you urgently, I said sir tell me
01:20where, so we after some discussion we decided to meet in his house at 7 p.m.
01:28When I reached there he was waiting at the door, he escorted me in as he normally does, every guest
01:34he'd receives and sees off and when he sat down, when we both sat down, he says Mr. Qureshi Harish
01:42told me what transpired between you and yesterday and if this is what you think about me, I'll commit suicide.
01:52I was not prepared for this, it came to me as a bombshell, I was totally shell shocked.
01:58भारत के पुर्व मुख्य चुनाओ आयोक्त S.Y. कुरेशी ने पुर्व पीम मनमोहन सिंग को लेकर ये भी दावा किया,
02:07किस मुलाकात ने उन्हें गहराई से प्रभावित किया, मनमोहन सिंग ने उनसे कहा था, कि चुनाओ आयोक सिर्फ भारत का
02:16गौरव नहीं है, यह दे�
02:27always the time I met him at an official function, he would say how proud he felt and he used
02:33to say that the biggest fame of India as a democracy is its electoral system and its election, its fair
02:44election, so in such a situation, when he was full of praise for election commission for us to imagine that
02:53he will be casting aspersion on us was unthinkable,
02:56and which is what hurt him and upset him
02:58and I said, sir, it was not meant for you
03:01but if your people are saying it
03:03please ask them to keep quiet
03:05not to indulge in this kind of loose talk
03:10and then he said, anytime you have any complaint
03:13just pick up the phone and talk to me directly
03:16and that showed his sensitivity
03:20because number one, his respect for the institution was fantastic
03:25and secondly, his sensitivity that anyone casting aspersion
03:29on something which was opposite of how he felt
03:33was not acceptable to him
03:35and should not be acceptable to anyone
03:37which is why he was so upset
03:39and I think it brings out the innate goodness of Dr. Banmohan Singh
03:49that is why he was so upset to have a good question
04:06and he said, sir, it was not meant for you
04:19Salman Khurshid
04:20has given his wife
04:21Louis Khurshid
04:24in a rally in a
04:25a national rally
04:25that if he came to the party
04:28then the government
04:31will increase
04:324.5%
04:34and 9%
04:37will be given
04:37what happened was
04:40that we were conducting
04:41UP elections
04:42and in those elections
04:45the then law minister
04:46Mr. Salman Khurshid
04:48is a very fine person otherwise
04:51but in the heat of the moment
04:53in the election
04:53when he was campaigning for his wife
04:55he announced that
04:58they will increase
04:59the quota for minorities
05:02by 50%
05:04or maybe 100%
05:06double it from 4.5% to 9%
05:09so immediately BJP
05:11filed a written complaint
05:13we asked the other party
05:16to explain
05:17and we had
05:18we have a court
05:20in the election commission
05:21we did court proceedings
05:24for 4 days
05:24we heard a battery
05:26of lawyers on both sides
05:27then we came to the conclusion
05:29that
05:31Mr. Khurshid
05:32had indeed violated
05:33the model code
05:35so we decided
05:36to censure him
05:37under the model code
05:39we cannot impose any fine
05:41we cannot do anything
05:42except advise
05:43reprimand
05:44or censure
05:46censure is the maximum
06:16India and I
06:17Amen.
