00:00 Hello, this is Vikram from Outlook. We are here with Dipender Hooda ji. Dipender Hooda
00:10 ji is senior Congress leader and sitting Rajya Sabha MP. Dipender Hooda ji is contesting
00:15 elections from Rohtak Lok Sabha and we will discuss with him about the recent political
00:21 turmoil that is going on in Haryana Vidhan Sabha. Hooda ji, here, one is the issue of
00:26 India-Ghat Bandhan in the Central. What are the issues in Rohtak?
00:31 In Rohtak, Haryana has been a BJP government for 10 years. Haryana is upset with this.
00:40 Haryana is in a bad shape. This is a big issue because our state has elections after 3 months.
00:46 A big issue in Rohtak is that Rohtak has come to the country's agenda in terms of development.
00:51 As I have said in every election, I tell all the candidates that people have seen my work
00:58 in Rohtak, people have seen my behaviour for so many years and on the basis of work and
01:04 behaviour, I have requested all the people of Rohtak that if they feel bad about me,
01:10 then they should bless me. This is the Rohtak election.
01:15 Yesterday, Delhi's Rose Avenue Court announced that they will name 5 cases against Brij Bhushan Sarna Singh.
01:23 What do you have to say about this?
01:24 The court said that the facts are the only evidence. On the basis of facts, 4 cases were filed
01:31 against him, 5 girls were misbehaved with him. Why was the FIR not filed against such a criminal?
01:41 The Supreme Court finally ordered the filing of the FIR. Why did the girls have to sit on
01:46 the streets of Delhi? Why was the work of dragging them there done?
01:49 And why did the Chief Minister of Haryana's government not say a word that you will be
01:53 given justice? Finally, yesterday, the Delhi court filed a charge sheet against 5 girls
02:01 in the case of Brij Bhushan. This is not a small incident. This shows that this was the
02:08 truth. The BJP government is a big country. If a BJP MP is released, what was the fault
02:19 of the girls?
02:21 We have been here for 2 days and we have seen that people here are very angry about the
02:24 Agni Veer Yojana. What do you have to say about this?
02:27 Where did the demand for Agni Veer Yojana come from? We want to know. Neither was it
02:32 in the declaration of the BJP, nor was anyone asking for it. Neither the army of the country
02:38 was asking for it, nor the youth of the country was asking for it, nor any political party
02:43 was asking for the cancellation of the army. Everyone was proud of this army and the army
02:47 had always kept the flag of the country high. No matter what party it is, the track record
02:52 of the army of the country was such that no one could put a praise on it. Whether it
02:57 was the Congress government, Indira Gandhi, who was the Prime Minister in the war of
03:02 1964-1971, when two parts of Pakistan were destroyed, or the head of Pakistan was bowed
03:07 in the Kargil war of 1999, when Patil Bihari was the Prime Minister. The army of the
03:12 country always worked to show the strength of the country. So what was the fault of such
03:17 an army that the government brought a new recruitment scheme?
03:21 I think that the Agni Veer scheme is not acceptable today. It is neither in the national
03:27 interest, nor good for the youth, nor good for the army. And people are angry about this.
03:32 How many seats are you expecting in Haryana?
03:35 10 seats. Congress has not agreed to it.
