to the most respected finance minister. i have a doubt. please find time to answer me.
you say that the venue for a debate is the parliament.
you say that my home minister, amit shah has offered a special session to debate.
you say that if rahul gandhi - the leader of opposition, wants to debate my prime minister, he should come to the parliament.
ma'am, let's start by pointing out some facts.
jul 20 - the parliament session opens. narendra modi, the ever so hon'ble prime minister - addresses the media - outside the parliament. he asks for a fact-based debate.
jul 24 - Amit Shah's National Honour Bill is introduced in Rajya Sabha, by Nityanand Rai, who is MoS for home affairs. Jairam Ramesh asks "Where is the Cabinet Minister". This is present in the RS Transcript.
jul 29 - Rahul Gandhi, the leader of opposition - asks "why is the Home Minister not here today?". This is also present in the LS Transcript.
jul 30 - Rahul Gandhi asks "why Shah is so scared of coming to Parliament"
aug 4 - Amit Shah, is seen in the parliamentary complex. at an NDA Parliamentary Party Meeting. He Doesn't enter the house. as per reporting from Navbharat Live.
aug 6 - Mallikarjun Kharge, in Rajya Sabha, asks "Why is the Prime Minister not coming? Why is the Home Minister not coming?" as Per Kerala Kamudi - this is consistent with the RS transcript.
aug 11 - congress MP Manickam Tagore attacks the absent home minister. as per reporting by the ANI.
aug 12 - Amit Shah says to the media, "have been coming to Parliament regularly since the Session began; I sit in my chamber."
talking to the media, at around 12:30 PM, Amit Shah offered "If the Opposition wrote to the speaker, there would be a debate from 3 PM wednesday (12 aug - the same day) to 3 PM thursday (13 aug - the next day)
this was roughly a 2 hour window to submit the letter.
he further said "I will sit in the House; I will listen to everyone and respond to every point."
Rahul Gandhi said "We are not interested in listening to his lecture, Who shot those students? Who blinded that student? Who ordered the lathi charge?"
this referred to the Pellet Shots fired at the Student, Sahil Lochav. He asked about the Lathi Charge that happened in the protests on July 20th.
The Opposition wanted a statement from Shah about this, Shah wanted them to submit a letter to the speaker, in a window of roughly 2 hours - after not being present for 17 straight settings. with no recorded appearance.
aug 13 - Lok Sabha sits for 4 minutes. 11:00 AM to 11:04 AM. The National Song, Vande Mataram, is played. and then, the house is adjourned sine die. Both ever so honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Shri Amit Shah were present on these days. for the 4 minutes.

Respected Finance Minister Ma'am,
These were the facts I have pointed out. I have not said anything that was my own opinion. I have not framed the facts in a way that support any party. My facts were gathered by scraping Documents from the LS and RS portal, OCR'ing the PDFs, then parsing them and then Aggregating News Sources. - and pointing out facts from them. Cold, Hard, Records.
I have not asked any questions yet - which I will do now.
I am a human. I have evolved Pattern Seeking skills.
I spot a pattern here. I see that for the entirety of the Monsoon Session, Prime Minister Modi, and Home Minister Shah, did not utter a word on the record of the Lok Sabha. They were not present in the house except for the last 4 minutes, on the last day.
Shah says "He was sitting in his cabin",
Ma'am, I don't think debates happen when you sit alone in a cabin. It happens on the floor, where the other side can ask questions too.
I don't see a meaningful debate happening in an environment like the Parliament. I say this with utter disappointment.
If Parliament is the venue for debate, why did the two most senior members of the government not speak there once in 19 sittings? And why was the one offer to debate made to the press on the 18th day, with a deadline of a couple of hours?
Why are there "offers" even? I think it is your responsibility to be in debates because that is your entire job.
As you say, "Demanding answers also carries an obligation to hear them." -- Well, were Amit Shah or Narendra Modi, hearing the Questions being asked? They were not in the house even.
Please Answer my Doubts. I would be very obliged if you do so.
Regards,
Sarthak
Mr Modi, stop lying to this nation.
You became PM because of foreign help. You remain PM because of foreign help.
Your financial system is fully controlled and supported by foreigners. Foreign social media fully backs you.
I challenge you to an open debate about this. Any stage, any time. Come if you have the guts.
You won't dare, because you are terrified of what I know about you.
मोदी जी, इस देश से झूठ बोलना बंद कीजिए।
आप विदेशी मदद से प्रधानमंत्री बने। और विदेशी मदद से ही प्रधानमंत्री बने हुए हैं।
आपकी आर्थिक व्यवस्था पूरी तरह विदेशियों के नियंत्रण में और समर्थन से है। विदेशी सोशल मीडिया पूरी तरह आपके साथ खड़ा है।
मैं आपको इस मुद्दे पर खुली बहस की चुनौती देता हूं। कोई भी मंच, किसी भी समय। हिम्मत है तो आइए।
आप नहीं आएंगे, क्योंकि जो मैं आपके बारे में जानता हूं आप उससे डरते हैं।
Mr. Modi, our students are demanding Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation.
Don’t insult their intelligence with this pathetic midnight video.
1. Sack Pradhan.
2. Punish those who beat students.
3. Apologise
DAY 26
PEACE & ONLY PEACE IS MY WAY…
While at Jantar Mantar the protests remain peaceful I’m pained to learn that elsewhere some antisocial elements are taking advantage of the peaceful protests to provoke violence.
No matter what the other side does our response must only be flowers.
Please keep this tradition at all costs.
The longer Narendra Modi waits to remove Dharmendra Pradhan, the worse the situation will get for him.
Even BJP voters are getting fed up of his ego and arrogance.
.@narendramodi ji,
Education system has corroded under your watch. We do not need platitudes or piecemeal announcements.
Your government lathicharged the youth, used pellet guns, shock batons, indiscriminate brutality with impunity, as if they are not our own children.
Come out of your air-conditioned ivory towers and look into the eyes of the young men and women who bled on the streets, fighting your dictatorship.
Youth only want 3 simple demands to be fulfilled
1) Immediately sack Education Minister Pradhan
2) Apologise for the punitive action & atrocities
3) Provide justice to those who you targeted
RSS has captured the education system. Youth Unemployment is skyrocketing at 29% (PLFS). No Private jobs, handful of permanent government jobs. Contractualisation at its peak. All doors are shut.
Where does the youth go to demand a future?
You are the one who has harmed the future of our youth the most.
You allowed and encouraged the total capture and destruction of our education system - and protected every person responsible for it.
The students’ demands are clear:
1. Sack Dharmendra Pradhan.
2. Apologise to the students.
3. Take action against those who assaulted them.
आपने ही हमारे युवाओं के भविष्य को सबसे ज़्यादा नुकसान पहुंचाया है।
आपने न सिर्फ हमारी education system पर पूरा कब्ज़ा होने और उसे बर्बाद होने दिया, उसे बढ़ावा भी दिया - और इसके ज़िम्मेदार हर व्यक्ति को संरक्षण दिया।
छात्रों की मांगें साफ़ हैं:
1. धर्मेंद्र प्रधान को पद से हटाएं।
2. छात्रों से माफ़ी मांगे।
3. छात्रों के साथ हिंसा करने वालों के ख़िलाफ़ कार्रवाई करें।
तीन दिन हो गए। दिल्ली पुलिस ने प्रेस कांफ्रेंस तक नहीं की है। कम से कम अफ़सोस ही जता देती कि बच्चों के साथ ज़्यादती हो गई। सब वक़्त के गुज़रने के इंतज़ार में हैं या किसी कमज़ोर क्षण के इंतज़ार में हैं कि कोई ग़लती हो जाए, बड़ी घटना प्लांट कर दी जाए फिर कार्रवाई करेंगे। इससे कुछ भी हासिल नहीं होगा।
शुक्र है कि अभी बात केवल इस्तीफ़े की हो रही है, शिक्षा व्यवस्था की होने लगेगी और ये नौजवान ढक्कन उठा कर देखने लगेंगे तब फिर कोई जवाब बचेगा नहीं। सरकार सचमुच इस शिक्षा व्यवस्था को डिफेंड नहीं कर पाएंगी। कम से कम अपने मंत्री और सांसदों से ही पूछ लीजिए कि उनके बच्चे विदेशों में पढ़ रहे हैं तो वहाँ क्या अच्छा है जो यहाँ नहीं हो सकता। कहने में अच्छा नहीं लगता लेकिन सरकारी स्कूलों और कॉलेजों का हाल कबाड़ जैसा बना दिया गया है।
मैं बीजेपी के सांसदों और मंत्रियों को शानदार पिता मानता हूँ जिन्होंने अपने बच्चों को यहाँ के कबाड़ कॉलेजों में नहीं भेजा। वे मंत्री के रूप फेल हो गए मगर डैडी के रूप में पास। बस देश के बाक़ी बच्चों के लिए नहीं सोचा। दो चार दस कॉलेज ही बचे रह गए हैं वहाँ भी संघ की भक्ति चल रही है, पढ़ाई कम। बच्चों को शिक्षा की बर्बादी ने घेर लिया है। यह काम वही कर सकता है जिसका इस देश के कॉलेजों से लगाव जुड़ाव न हो। और कॉलेजों से नफरत की चिढ़ पैदा हुई थी 2016 के साल से। आप जानते हैं।
