00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>one of the earliest high profile tests of India's newly

15
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>expanded rape law. The alleged assault took place about seven

16
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 1>months after Parliament enacted the Criminal Law, which substantially broadened

17
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the legal definition of rape to include penetration by fingers

18
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.359

00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 1>In other major, US RSS chief Mohann Bagwad today said

21
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.239
<v Speaker 1>that protest is a legitimate way of dialogue in a

22
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>democracy and acknowledged that the concerns raised by the younger

23
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>generation are genuine. His remark comes in the backdrop of

24
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the recent wave of student protests across India over issues

25
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 1>including examination irregularities and education reforms. Addressing a gathering of

26
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 1>Gen Z and Genalpha at the International Model United Nations

27
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>event in Mumbai, Pugwart said that democratic societies provide space

28
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>for disagreement and discussion, but emphasized that protests should follow

29
00:01:52.079 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>democratic processes. Meanwhile, US student visas issued to Indian nationals

30
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>have planned sixty two percent in twenty twenty five, according

31
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 1>to a new report that also calls for scrapping the

32
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>optional practical Training program, arguing that it hurts American workers.

33
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>The proposal, if adopted, could effect thousands of Indian students

34
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 1>hoping to work in the US after graduation. The number

35

<v Speaker 1>of US visas issued to Indian students has seen a

36
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>sharp decline in twenty twenty five as compared to twenty

37
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty four, a move that could be beneficial for American

38
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:32.479
<v Speaker 1>students and highlights President Donald Trump's administration's strict immigration measures

39

<v Speaker 1>introduced recently affecting F one visa applicants. News agency PTI reported,

<v Speaker 1>citing data analyzed by the CIS in other major news

<v Speaker 1>the house. As Parliamentary Affairs Minister, you can echo the

48
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>sentiments of the opposition to the Home Minister unquote. Earlier,

49
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 1>opposition MP's continued their demand that Shah come to the

50
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>House and respond to questions on alleged excesses by security

51
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.039
<v Speaker 1>forces during the crackdown on youngsters. Marching to the Parliament

52
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 1>on twentieth of July to protest paper leaks, they raised

53
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:30.759
<v Speaker 1>slogans of Amit Shah, Jawabdo Southern May'au, which loosely translates

54
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>to Amitshah must answer, come to the house and in

55
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the end. In news making global headlines, imprisoned former Pakistan

56
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister Iran Khan's sons have expressed fears over their

57
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>father's health, saying they have been unable to meet him

58
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>for months. As thousands of supporters stage protests across Pakistan

00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:00.080
<v Speaker 1>Amnesty International renewed calls for his family and lawyers to

61
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>be granted access to him. Khan, who served as Pakistan's

62
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 1>Prime minister from twenty eighteen until his ouster in a

63

<v Speaker 1>parliamentary no confidence vote in twenty twenty two, has remained

64

<v Speaker 1>faces multiple convictions, including on corruption and state secret charges,

66
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 1>which he and his Pakistan Teri ke Nsav parties say

67
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>are politically motivated. The Scherbah Sharif led government has rejected

68
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>those allegations and with that, this was all for today.

69
