00:00Is the national capital going to witness political showdown on the streets for a fourth straight day?
00:07After three days of protests that saw the opposition MPs and leaders march to East Election Commission HQ and Jantar
00:15Mantar curtailed before they were allowed to visit Rajghat on Thursday, all eyes are now on the opposition's next move.
00:23The India Bloc has sent a request seeking a meeting with President Draupadi Murmu.
00:28The president's response is still awaited and the opposition is waiting for a decision.
00:34Sources say that India Bloc MPs have been asked to gather in the central hall of the old parliament at
00:403pm today, where they will decide on what to do next.
00:45Lok Sabha leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi, who's been spearheading the protests, has issued a new war cry.
00:50The process of securing justice for the people, restoring faith in democracy and ensuring punishment for traitors has begun.
01:00And Rahul Gandhi has made it clear, this will not stop.
01:04Mamata Banerjee is expected to join the opposition protests today and meanwhile the NDA continues to slam the opposition.
01:11Union Minister Giriraj Singh has accused the India Bloc of trying to spread anarchy, saying they are trying to cause
01:18confusion among the public.
01:19Congress, however, is sticking to its guns and demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
01:28動画 of entsprechend the NDA1 has встреч.
01:31One country, the NDA7, around
01:56I don't give a name, but I don't give a name.
02:02Do you want to spread the word?
02:05Do you want to spread the word?
02:27The chief election commissioner must go and he has an understanding with Mr. Amit Shah and Mr. Modi.
02:33And to keep them in power, the chief election commissioner has done Oat Chori.
02:38Amit Bharadwaj is joining me on this story.
02:41Amit, three straight days of continuous protests.
02:45Entire central Delhi in a logjam.
02:49And pretty much complete stoppage of traffic when it comes to CPN nearby areas.
02:55And the opposition on a warpath really.
02:59Rahul Gandhi and others making it very clear that they are not ready to back down.
03:04What are we expecting today?
03:10Anisha, today the protest that has been planned by India Bloc for the entire week that will continue.
03:18So the fourth day will also witness protests by the India Bloc MPs.
03:22But today you will also see several of the top leaders of the India Alliance coming together for a march
03:28that has been planned.
03:29That's what I have been given to understand through my sources.
03:32Now the schedule that it looks like right now, 3 p.m. Central Hall in the old parliament building.
03:38The MPs from both Rajasaba and Lokasaba have been asked to assemble.
03:42But I am given to understand that this time is in a way flexible and fluid as well.
03:47Because the India Bloc leadership is expecting for a confirmation or a response from the Rastrapati Bhavan.
03:54My sources have told me that the LOP's office, that is leader of opposition in Lokasaba, Rahul Gandhi,
04:00had communicated to the Rastrapati Bhavan that the India Bloc or the opposition MPs delegation wants to meet President Draupadi
04:10Murmu.
04:10And they have been awaiting for a confirmation or an appointment for this particular hearing by the President.
04:18Now if that confirmation comes in any time today,
04:20that would mean that the delegation will be immediately formed and they will be heading towards the Rastrapati Bhavan.
04:26If that does not happen, in any case, we will see a march happening, most likely from the parliament,
04:33which will move towards the Rastrapati.
04:35Thank you very much, Amit Bhavan.
04:36I'm sorry for interrupting you here.
04:38But we will keep a very close eye on what the opposition MPs finally do decide to do.
04:44And all our reporters on the ground bringing you every minute's update on the India Bloc protests.
