Transcripts

I have already made a video on the RG Kar Medical College case

with full details but in this video my focus will be on those people

who are behaving very differently regarding this whole case and the date by that. You will

get to know such information which will shock you to the core.

You will understand the entire operating model of these people very clearly. Next time too, if

something like this happens, you will understand who is doing what and why. This entire incident

happened on the night of 9th August and the detailed statement from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee

comes on 14th August and in this entire statement she has talked about

what means that apart from her case, she has talked about other states and other parties. I have said

that if this happens in your state, what do you do? Blame Congress

, blame CPIM and this statement was just the beginning because

after this all his followers and party members started doing exactly the same.

There are three big members of Rajya Sabha in TMC's party for the next few days,

all three are big activist type people, Sagarika Ghosh, Mahua Moitra and Saket Gokhale.

Saket Gokhale is a very interesting person. Earlier, he used to be in Congress and was

considered to be a big advisor type of Rahul Gandhi. He was very close to him and then he

joined TMC from where he was also sent to Rajya Sabha. Saket Gokhale

had not made a single tweet on this entire issue before August 14 and after August 14, he had shared

the statements of some of his party members. Started retweeting, 14th August was

the date when Mamata Banerjee's statement came and after that, what does Saket Gokhali do?

He started writing that the person who was accused of rape in the Kathua case was

supporting her. How Congress has included him in their party

because Ayushmann Khurrana had published a poetry in the Bengal case and

he started retweeting the tweets being made against him.

Kareena Kapoor also joined in on the Bengal case

. But he also blocked me along with it. It seems that the truth

became a bit bitter for him. He was doing all this continuously but

he did not give any statement from his side on the Bengal case, but what did he do after this?

They take out two such similar cases from Uttarakhand and Bihar and

make two tweets on them. I have some personal thoughts about these tweets, but for now let's look at

Sagarika Ghosh's first reaction to this incident in Bengal.

4 days after the incident. It came out later and in that reaction too she had clearly written

that the first focus should be that there should not be any politics on this entire incident.

How strange is it that a woman who had been a journalist and now

She is a politician who has always said that women's safety is a very important issue.

While talking about it, she clearly tells people not

to do any politics on this because this incident has happened in a state where her party has power.

I am sitting here thinking that even if this incident had happened in some other state, could Sagarika

Ghosh have come and said that brother, don't do any politics on this incident and just

like Saket Gokhale ji, Sagarika Ghosh too would have been involved in that rape incident in Bihar.

On August 16, she tweeted about Nehru and not only the leaders here were doing this

but their normal followers were also doing it. There

is a parody account of Nehru.

Twitter4j's statement came, after that the Nehru account started writing. Start talking about how

accountability should be sought from PM Modi regarding this entire case. This account

also tweeted twice on 15th August and 16th August regarding the Bihar case and

this is not the only case. You will find many such accounts on social media. We will meet on the media which

is a part of a particular ecosystem and after the statement of Mamata Banerjee, they

had started doing 'What About' in exactly the same pattern. Many

journalists were also following this thing like Rajdeep Sir Desai, Sagarika Ghosh

's husband is also there, he had tweeted about this entire incident for the first time

on 11th August. It is worth noting that he himself is a journalist.

The incident happens in the early morning of the night and it takes two whole days for this whole incident. He made a tweet on the incident

and since the time Mamata Banerjee's statement came, he

has been continuously tweeting where he writes that justice is needed but

there is no politics on it and he also writes that social There are some people in the media

who do not want justice, they just want to do politics on it, all these trolls.

So brother, if you have demanded justice on this case on social media,

then congratulations, now you have become a troll, after that following the same pattern,

you tweet more on this Uttarakhand case on 15th August. And then on 16th August,

a case is brought out from inside Ballia, UP and they tweet about it.

Here suddenly all the people are taking out rape cases from different states and

tweeting about it. There are some things in this which you will notice. It is very important to understand because

at first sight it seems that every rape case is a very small crime and every case

should be treated equally but before August 9, were no such cases happening in the entire country

? After August, why did all these accounts start bringing out such specific cases

because here they want to use a logical fallacy

called 'what about tree' when the whole country is demanding justice

in the RG tax case. The eyes of the whole country are on this particular case and everyone wants that

the victim should be given complete justice, then there are some people who do not want

that the government should be asked questions or be held accountable, these are from different

states. They bring out some cases and say, why are you not speaking on this?

Why are you not speaking on this? Why is this not being talked about? Hey brother, unfortunately,

such crimes happen every day in our country, but very few. There

are crimes which get attention like Nirbhaya case and in that case also it

took us 7 years to deliver justice but with such cases the entire country

loses hope that maybe this time we can arrest the culprits. If you set an example

, then someone will think 10 times before doing such cases in future and that is why

when the Nirbhaya incident took place in Delhi, the entire country was united. In fact, the Delhi

government also accepted its mistake and conducted a search operation with full force. They were fired

so that they could catch accused people and put them in jail, but

what is happening here in the Kolkata case, suddenly everyone is busy defending the government. If anyone

asks questions, they say that these people are social. These are media trolls, they

are trying to do politics beyond this and what were these people doing themselves?

People like journalists, who get all the news on day one, they also

made us wait for two days. A tweet about this. I told the names of all the big

people of TMC party regarding this, their first reaction came on 13th and 14th whereas this case

happened on the night of 9th. Why were they waiting for this? On 10th, the doctors gave

high level But a protest was announced, after that this news should have become completely main

stream, then why did people keep waiting from 11th to 13th and 14th,

they were just waiting that I wish this news would be suppressed from somewhere. Even if it doesn't go into national attention,

but now this news has come into national attention, so now they

are reusing what about it or trying to make you emotional that are you people so heartless

that they will talk about that case. I will not say, should this case not

get justice, so that you divert your attention from this particular case, once you

divert your attention, then they will also stop doing all these tweets because they

do not care at all whether there is justice in it or not. Yes, all they care about is that

somehow people should stop talking about this Kolkata case once and for all

, I have made the same prediction in my previous video, the same thing is seen happening and the Bengal government is also worried about this whole thing.

They are busy in getting full media coverage on the entire case with zero accountability.

They were saying inside the court that they

need 7 days time, after that they will transfer the case to CBI but the court

said that the worse you are. You are working, we will not give even a single minute of time

and the lawyer who was representing the victim said that there is every possibility of evidence tampering here.

Now she comes up with a statement saying that after

several days, this is absolute. Suspicions would be wiped out this case will

just go public because it will be attached and I will show it to you how it will be attached because

this very Commissioner of Police was the Inspector General of the CID one Kam Dhuni

murder took place it is due To His Blocking Up Of The Entities That Today Came

Duni Has Failed I Was A Defense Council I Defended Them But Today One I Appear For

The Victim This Person Has Now Been Reverted By Being Made A CP This Person Should Be

Put On Compulsory Vetting And When All these people were ignoring this case, so

what was going on in Bengal, when the principal of RG Kar College, where this incident took place, resigned.

Within 9 hours, he was posted at another place, then the High Court

had to intervene and say, what a mess you have made,

send this person on leave immediately, then the government had sent him on leave. And when the case went into the hands of CBI,

what happened after that, the protesters were suddenly attacked by a crowd of 100-200

goons. The CCTV camera inside this hospital

has been broken and the place where the incident took place is also being demolished. An attempt was made to commit a ransack.

The police say that tampering with the evidence has not been done yet,

but why did such a huge crowd of goons suddenly enter the hospital? Why did they

break the CCTV cameras? What was their intention? Where is this crowd? Who sent this message,

how many people were arrested from this, there are many such questions which should be asked but

you will not see a single person from the entire ecosystem who

is demanding such accountability from the Bengal government and what is the Bengal government doing? Mamta Banerjee herself has

come out on the road and is saying that now I am going to protest,

someone tell her that she is the Chief Minister of the state, such a big

attack has taken place in her state that her police is completely unable to stop it.

Enforcing failed law and order is a state subject and if you

fail to do so, you should resign. You

should not garner sympathy by doing drama of protest and this is very clear to every normal person in the entire country,

but The puppies of the ecosystem are also justifying this by wagging their tails.

I have just seen some videos where people are saying that

the animal movie is at fault behind this whole case, it is PM Modi's fault, if only he gets better tomorrow. These Doraemons

will put even Shizuka, Sin Chan and Shaktiman in the dock, but once they

do not have the courage to stand up and ask these questions to the State Government, these poor people

tell others that you are blind devotees, I think you are quite a pig. Type of person

and now let me tell you how these people operate exactly. If

any major incident happens in a non-BJP state, they

do not go to its specific regions. They do not tell how the local government had evolved or what were its mistakes

. Or what was the police doing wrong? What do they say that due to this there

is a big white scale? They say how has our society become,

what is the condition of women in our society now, is the government of the country not responsible for this? These people will ask questions

which are very pleasant to listen to. You may

even get emotional in it. You can share their videos, but if you watch carefully,

they will not ask any specific question at any place in the entire rant. That brother,

what was this state government doing, this police is of the state government,

what investigation have they done, have they done any work to save the evidence there,

what have they done to the principal of the college, such specific questions will never

be asked. But if the same incident happens in a state whose government they do

not like, then they will not even once say what is happening in the country, they

specifically talk only about that incident, they talk by name and

that The policeman was posted there at 9:2, this happened, at 10 o'clock this happened, then here he came,

he is also involved, he is also involved, see how the Chief Minister is also meeting him,

he is seen shaking hands with him, look at the photo of this guy. By doing this,

they make five videos of 40-40 minutes each with animation, this is their

way of operating, there is a very subtle difference, but with this difference, they brain wash you,

but when the whole country remains so emotional, then that People miss this kind of subtle propaganda.

Apart from this, I am also noticing some creators who always

create content with women objectification, whose songs are completely

based on women objectification, like Honey Singh, he has done Volume One. What have I said in

my songs, how have I objectified Vaman and now

by putting this story they say that these people should be shot in the case that has happened in Kolkata,

their suggestion is not bad but their songs. The audience they cater to

is filled with a lot of potential rappers, so they

should pay some attention to their songs as well. Apart from this, many people who are big danks have

asked in the comments whether they will get a video of this or any other. When MMS comes out, people

make lewd jokes on it, they too have suddenly become big activists and say

Look at how bad sexual assault is. There are many people who

take off their clothes on camera so that they can get some likes and comments.

More than half of their followers are filled with potential rapists and they encourage them

because Because of that, they are getting likes, retweets, share views, everything. These people

have also suddenly become very concerned about how bad women objectification is, while

they themselves are promoting women objectification notifications on a daily basis from their accounts.

People who write in item numbers in Bollywood, I am tandoori

chicken, yaar gatka le sahiya, all these people

should also feel very embarrassed by alcohol, but after the Kolkata case, these

people became very concerned about vomit objectification and vomit safety.

And they are writing what a big problem there is in our country, I want to say only one thing to them, you are not against the problem, you are the

problem, rest of this whole incident of men versus women , I also see many people

getting converted. People have started writing that all men are potential rapists, so I

don't think so. It is not at all true that all men are like this, but 99.9

cases are always against women, so the victim is always Vaman

. You know, once in your life, go and ask them, be it your mother, sister,

girlfriend, wife, daughter, friend, ask them that when you

go in public transport, has there ever been a case that someone has touched you in a dirty way or is it

now ? When you go out, do you see people staring at you? Do you

see people looking at you in a wrong way or you ask that when you were young in childhood,

did any relative touch you in an inappropriate way? I can tell you that

in 100% of the cases, you will get the answer to one question or all these questions

in the affirmative. You will be shocked at how wide spread this problem is in the entire country.

Sexual assault also happens through mail. Voices are raised on that too. There are also fake rape

cases, but people should raise their voice on that too, but

if you take the topic that is being discussed now, then in this case, I see that

not every man does this, but every one. Accused is only a man and the level of harassment

can change but almost 100% vomit, at some level or the other, this type of harassment

keeps happening on a daily basis, so the scale of this problem is very big, so not all

men are like. That but every single accused is almost always a man and every single

victim is almost always a woman. So no matter how bad you feel, no matter how many different

logics you want to wrap it in, but this problem is so big that you

have to accept and The only people who face problem in accepting this argument are

those who repeatedly say that there is

no discussion beyond that of sexual assault against a man, there is no discussion on fake rape cases, brother, there should be a separate discussion beyond that also

. I will make a video and talk about it, but at least

try to concentrate completely on whatever is being discussed. These were my thoughts. What do you think,

tell me in the comments. Jai Hind Vande Mataram.
