'In '98, Amit Shah Criticised Nuke Tests, Vajpayee's 'Greed for Publicity'-Author of New Book on BJP

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ต.ค. 2024
- In an interview that will create considerable controversy and provoke the wrath of BJP supporters, the author of a recent study of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Lal Krishna Advani has claimed that in 1998, when he was 33 and a young MLA, Home Minister Amit Shah was critical of prime minister Vajpayee’s nuclear tests. Vinay Sitapati, the author of ‘Jugalbandi’, an account of the Vajpayee-Advani relationship and who teaches at Ashoka University, claims that in 1998 Amit Shah wrote to prime minister Vajpayee sharply criticizing the nuclear tests. In his alleged letter, he wrote: “Respected Vajpayee Ji, because of your greed for publicity you have forever lost Pakistan Occupied Kashmir”. Sitapati adds that when Vajpayee summoned him to Delhi for an explanation Shah told him that Morarji Desai had told him: “if we both (India and Pakistan) become nuclear powers, we can never win back PoK through the war”.
After 10 mins Vinay should have taken his mike off & said - Humaari dosti bani rahein
too good sir
Why can't karan understand such simple statement ??
He wasted first 10 minutes on just one statement.
Yeah this is why I can't support Karan wholeheartedly. It was obvious what Vinay was trying to say.
Exactly. ..
Is this the way to conduct an interview ??
Stubborn old guy. It is hard for him.
He does not want to understand deliberately.
@@independentnationalist1740 👍🏻
I must say Vinay acquitted himself rather well. He is a gentleman, never for once lost cool.
How did vinay acquit himself well ? He never proved a single thing. He kept telling his version of what he heard from three other people who he couldn't name.
Karan, your constant interruption in this interview is very irritating
Very true
The only times Karan lets them speak is when they're Congress members or supporters.
42:00
"Don't blind us with detail!"
"But details matter Karan, everything else is opinions!"
Thapar is only ever interested in highlighting opinions that show the BJP in a poor light, so no wonder he didn't care about Vikram's details.
Freaking Karan is interrupting Vinay like one notorious, lunatic TV anchor. Its a indecipherable racket.
That's playing devil's advocate .
Better than gooooo swamy
No , he was trying to get vinay to clarify and verify the bs that he was pushing out.
There's a time when writing a letter to PM was NOT considered as "Anti-national"
Uapa lagawana hai kya tumhe bhai........😂
Man it was from secondary sources we don't know what original letter had fuc
it was a democracy then dictorial leaderships are reluctant to criticism
And what good it did to the pm?
All social indicators were in positive
Kargil was won
India was a nuclear state
Yet the pm was voted out of power
@@sambitacharya24 You're missing the point, The point here is that we can write letters and criticize even the PM back then without fearing that we might tagged as "Anti-national" or "Deshdrohi"
And tell me one thing you think Amit Shah was anti-national back then?
Coz now everyone whose asking even a basic question is tagged as Anti-national.
_Vinay Sitapati during the first 20 mins is thinking in his mind _*_“Oh now i get it why the prime minister, took a sip of water and said dosti bane rehne chahiye and went”_*
Dear Mr. Joshi, Most probably Modi played with Karan, utilizing the act of walking away from interview, to boost his position among BJP supporters,
@@sreedhark.r.1532 so it worked for him eh?
I've watched Karan Thapar for over 20 years, and I've admired him for a long time. This interview was extremely painful to watch for multiple reasons. Karan gives away his own position all too often, while barely allowing Sitapati to establish the premise and tenor of the book. This was no interview. This was an inquisition. And one hardly heard from the academic. Picking up 3 points from the book, and spending close to 54 minutes primarily because Karan does not agree with the writer's interpretation! This was painful to watch.
The writer enjoyed the interview and appreciated. That reflects a lot
Let the author express his views.
This is Karan Thapar style
@@CR7Ashironaldo no it's not. He's been copying BBC's Hard Talk.
@@amanchaudhary742 not a problem if he is doing it well, Better than the bootlicking which mainstream media does.
RTX-007 it's rude behavior
The Author should accept the fact which karan righly makes instead of beating round the bush.
Hight of this interview: " Don't blind us with details" and then they say why BJP wins 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Bjp wins with religious polarization. Remember Vikas? Wonder where he is now! 😄
bujambura burundi Congress and other parties do appeasement and making ground for polarization. Congress too did Hindu polarization during Rajiv Gandhi time. Later congress did Muslim appeasement more. BJP took Ram Mandir issue which was started by Rajiv Gandhi.
Point is without doing good things polarization alone will not win elections. BJP is winning Gujrat for 6 terms. Polarization alone won't make that easy. They have done something good for people too
70 % thappar talking and 30 % writer talking . Always the same case.
that's the point 😔😹😹
Karan is so clear of his grilling questions that he will persuade relentlessly on his subjects to be precise on addressing them first and then beyond.
I love his questions, I feel those are mine too, and by every oppertunity love to watch them replied along with body language.
❤️ You Karen. Remember what you are doing is the best you can do.
You remind me of Sebastian Coe of BBC Hard talk.
Whoever saw the video fully despite Karan Thapar’s interruptions deserves Nobel peace prize.
@@omen786171 Nobel prize goes to Glenlivet 😂
When ever is see Karan ,reminds me of Dosti Bani rahe😀😀😀
Why 59 Hindus Kill ?? Why ?? Who Kill Them ???
As Hindus And Last As Gujarati ,i Feel Pain Today AGAIN ,,,
Karan ?? NO ''' Many Hindus Don`t Feel Pain ,, Media And Karan Paint And Believe Modi As Murder ,, NOT ME ,,,
You Have Any Pain ?? as Your Comment You With Karan , And Happy on 59
Amit tadipar a convicted criminal.HC Gujarat....

"Detail matters...
Everything else is opinion"
Wonderfully put.
Making hey out of unpleasant
Situation that is his win
The first 20 minutes are like the worst case scenario in a viva.
😂 That is the reason modi stopped the interview with Mr Karan Thapar back in 2007... I hope u have seen it
@@sudipmajumder2916 Modi doesn’t give interviews unless they it’s all a set up. Even then, he is scared because he is afraid people will find out he is unpad Jahil who is being remote controlled by big corporations who fund him. The recent anti farmer farm bill being clear testimony of it.
@@bannedone3ice138 Well, thank you for informing me about this. I appreciate it. 👍
@@bannedone3ice138 nehru was the most shameless PM we ever had
It's like a fresher doing senior person s interview. Just irritation of an interview by Karan. He deserves Subramanian Swamy kind of response .
I'm usually a KT fan, but this was just painful to watch. If you're reading this KT, please understand that sometimes you gotta relax.
kt ki mayya ch u di padi hai 2014 se. kitna intezar kare aur ye buzurg aadmi? Rahulwa ko samjhao ke kuch kare warna kt pura pagal hojayega aur nanga nachega connnaught place mein.
Wow. This definitely seems like emotive book for karan. He is impacted in a way unseen before. Get a hold man!
Sometimes,Karan Thapar.. Wastes time and becomes very irritating...For 15 minutes
The writer does not think like that!
Every patriotic Indian ought to support the idea of Akhand Bharat. Mr. Amit Shah is correct to support it if he does so.
And people say why modi left the interview.
Karan getting angry to Vinay not playing his ball
Karan wants to mainly hear himself. Guests are just an excuse.
Allowl the Author to speak freely.you are putting words in his mouth.
Don't behave like Arnab
Only those who are not fully aware of the value of quotation marks are criticising the interview. It was a brilliant interview. Karan exposed the writer when the writer agreed that he put something within quotes which was a blend of recollections of a letter by three people. This tells a lot about the authenticity of the writer. Karan never fails to impress.
Also, Karan did the write thing by interrupting the author. The author either had a problem in his ears or in his brain. Always evasive. Question: Is this a mango? Answer: Mango is a fruit of the summer season. And to those who are saying they are here to listen to the author, you guys are not listening to a speech, it's an interview.
@@prabhakart1 also he is making some statements which is out of the context like reclaiming POK is part of akand bharath of hindu nationalism.
Yes POK is a part of akand bharath but it is also a part of india how come reclaiming pok a hindu nationalist movement?
I am actually quite appalled that Vinay Sitapati, who is a trained lawyer, does not adhere to the basics of attribution. This is the first thing that is taught in law school. You shall use quotation marks, only -- and only, if you are reproducing the text verbatim. If something has been paraphrased, it should be without quotation marks, with a footnote providing the source of the information.
Karan has quite rightly taken up issue with the use of quotation marks by Sitapati, especially when the text in the book is a summary of the information narrated by three people -- none of whom had a copy of the letter to show to Sitapati.
Karan Thaper let the writer speak ....We want to hear him
Perhaps... let me add this one ingredient... The author is totally deviating from the question categorically ..
@@sindhujaagin2767 yes..he keeps repeating the same answer for some reason and deviated from the question asked
@@tovikhukachumi6405 well said...
Really sorry state of Karan’s interview when he is concerned more of a technically than contents
Requesting to conduct one more interview on contents
Arundhati Roy and Amit Shah were on the same page on nuclear in 98, :D can you imagine?
This Karan guy interrupts all the time, a pity.
Karan is right. Other guy was trying to beat around the bush. He was unnecessarily bringing in the context.
Katana Thapar did a great job the author was trying his best to beat around the bush to waste time and move on
Karan interrupts when interviewer speaks that don't suit his agenda.
Ashwani Bakshi context is important to understand what actually he means. We haven't read the book. Without context very difficult to follow what he means
This is the first time I felt that Karan's interruption unnecessary..
Anchor's point is quiet right but author just don't want to understand
Karan your voice was not very clear. You get your recording system checked out. Unlike your voice, could hear Vinay loud and clear.
I am a big fan of the series, but looks like Karan was tempted to hunt for headlines here. The first five minutes, when the author is trying to give context, Karan wants a headline. That is more of Arnab’s game. Expected better.
karan has got a point the author has mentioned about a letter whose existence is unknown and will be outlrightly denied. People should not get by by merely stating hearsay told by "three people" theres a diffrence between journaling a news report and writing a book the author got caught by karan and was taksed for a schooling i think this is fair from karan
Karan is so bad that it makes an interview with even the most pleasant Mr. Sitapati unbearable
The principal objective of this Thapar fellow in the entire interview seems to bulldoze his personal point of view to Vinay and make him follow his toe line. This can't be termed as an interview... at best this can be termed as a police interrogation! Where the interrogator is simply shoving his point of view to be helplessly prove himself right. This can be termed as one of the most desperate interviews of Thapar fellow.
This guy Karen Thapar is a creep! This interview just proved it, again!
Karan at his best ! Asking questions and not letting the interviewee deviate from the question he asked,. Great going Karan 👍
Well done Vinay 👏👏👏👏
Poor dude just got schooled in real journalism. Bas dosti bani rehey :V. On a serious note what Karan brings out is the sloppiness in his "research". He keeps on talking about opinions and facts and clearly mistakes one for the other.
I was really puzzled why Thapar is being more obnoxious here than his usual self, and then I realised: he’s just jealous that Sitapati has written a book that Thapar could never write in a hundred lifetimes.
Not the first time he reminded me of Arnab. Karan, please give the other person chance to speak, his point was really clear for the sub note.
Vinay should have mentioned that the story was told by thee people instead of "quatation" marks.
What a riveting interview.. Great treat exempt for Karan pressing Vinay for the lack of footnote and directly quoting things in the book as if he had seen that letter. But discussions and debates line these are enlightening. Please keep it up Karan 👍
Wow. Why is Karan not allowing the AUTHOR of the book to expand on the statements mentioned in that very book??
If the freaking Author wants to qualify his statements with his opinions and give more context, why is Karan not allowing him to do so??!
Talk about censorship!
Karan's interviews are always great. He doesn't let folk fly off with their rhetoric and narrative, he expects clarity. Never change old man, you always do a great job. This Vinay guy was awful at the start, he is launching off into tangents like a coward and talking about 'offline' conversations, he's shifty and voice is breaking, what's wrong with him. Be calm and slow down and let the conversation take its flow, right. So defensive, jesus.
Absurd
Some minor point about Amit Shah that’s not even the book this lunatic Karan Thapar does not go beyond that. He just wants him to say Yes for the stupid question he has framed. What a dodo head this guy! I would fire Karan Thapar right after this interview.
Karan unnecessarily extended it way too much on Amit shah's letter to Bajpai & Shela Bhatt's opinion of Modi on the day of riots. Vinay's answer was sufficient on both these threads. Karan's sub-conscience bias against Modi-Shah reflected in these 2 pieces.
This vinay was talking aload of rubbish. In essence all he was offering was his opinion without verified sources. Telling offline is complete rubbish. This is why indian media is in the gutter because nothing is checked and verified. Without revealing sources it's just his own opinion.
I like and admire @karan thapar - at 30 years of age , but this reeks of two things - 1. Karan can't and wouldn't agree to anything good about BJP // 2. This isn't one of his good interviews owing to this now very evident disdain.
How the hell does the wire criticise Arnab when their prima donnas are doing the same thing. Hypocrites, intolerant, hadline grabbers and devoid context are these lunatics from the wire, who does not have an iota of truth in their coverage
Watched first 17 mins. Is Vinay Sitapati interviewing Karan or the other way?! Confused 🙄
This is the glaring example how The Wire' twist things to show current PM and HM in bad light. This interview is totally in contrast to the interview of same author on same book at The Print.
Now, I am feeling that what Modi said 'hamari dosti bani rahe' was right!
He is interrupting so many times....
Patient of vinay is remarkable without losing is calmness.... karan is very rude to him..
Very true
Share this video as much as possible to show Mr. Amit Shah's true colours.
Get POK From Pakistan , its Main Thinking in Heart of Motabhai ,,, You Work And Think Same Way About POK ??? Then Have Wine And Get Sleep
Amit shah is always black and white with clarity. WHat is the new discovery you think you are? Amit always want POK, even on the eve of 370 he reiterated same in parliament. God you.....
Amit shah was right. India could have done nuclear test and kept it secretly like Israel did. Israel is having 700 nuclear weapons but they never officially declared
As if karan doesn't write hearsay..he wrote in his book (based on hearsay) prashant kishor showed Narendra Modi interview of him again and again but in lallantop interview interviewer asked him about that, prashant kishor completely denied that... th-cam.com/video/Kyo1y8Pw3ww/w-d-xo.html
If hearsay is a bad standard why doesn't he apply that standards in his books..
Karan Thapar you should learn journalism from Shekhar Gupta. You aren't even letting him speak! Vinay please organise one more interview with Shekhar
What Karan Thapar is talking out of context? He is trying to get a answer from the writer as per his requirement .
When you quote a thing, it generally means it is reproduced as it is. Why is it difficult for Vinay to understand this. When you quote it means it's reproduced as it is. Vinay trying to find some masala to sell his book?
I agree with Karan. It's a valid point in a research. You can't quote without directly seeing a letter.
This is how an editor grills his reporter. Wonderful.
I respected u a lot... But, damn, those first 15 mins were just useless and damn irritating. That author didn't deserve to be treated that way.
This author is pretty good! He knows his onions and handled Karan quite well. As for Karan, well that is his style and that is how he has managed to get attention for himself over the years....It is only a rare Jayalalitha who can get him to eat humble pie.
You wasted first 20 minutes. You could have given your comments/critique but let writer complete his thought process. He could have revealed much more but for your jarring interruptions,
This kinda obsession like Karan's - in the leftover Lefty Liberal sounders Aka Delhi's (public) Loo'tians - is never ending.
karan has a point ..the subjectivity is evident ...the assertion is heresay ..may be true ..i would prefer to give the benefit of doubt to the author ...
Amit shah was 25 at the time.
Wtf?
I thought auto rewind was ON !
Karan has not shed his habit of bullying his guests.
Karan's comments initially for first 10 mins are either twisting in a manipulative manner or one is demonstrating basic intelligence
I have a doubt that whether the interviewer has read the whole book?
I generally don't doubt Karan Sir for his honesty..But this might be because of not having interest in the book or may be something else.
karan should have a show with himself...he just cannot let his guest finish a single sentence, he should get basic communication and hosting training.
Thapar Sir can't get over 2002🤣
There is no doubt that Mr. Vinay has a Smiley face 🙂 but the real smile is coming out only at the end of the interview 😊 and that's not a pretended one 😋
Please start watching this interview from 19:40
Karan is stuck in 2002. Move ahead Karan. It will be good for your health
Karan is obsessed with Amit shah and MODI. He wasted 20 minutes with alleged Amit shah's letter to Atal and wasted 20 minutes with alleged MODI 's post Godhra tension. Only spent few minutes to talk about Atal Advani duo
Kt wasted 20 min on single point, investigation on single point.
Good Vinay. You are
Vinay should have made a lot of sense to say to Karan ... yes an young MLA in BJP can write to second most person in his High Command !
We will never see this news on any media or newspaper surely
Vinay makes a valid advice to the opposition
Not acceptable in the court of law if someone files a defamation suit.
Let him speak Karan .😤
This Karan keeps on interrupting continuously, and he wants to defend Amit Shah.
A very bad interview. Karan is pissed that he does not get much credit for helping the author to get facts. So he goes into a meaningless diatribe to discredit the author.
Karan as a senior journalist revels his steak of jealousy.
It seems vinay is not understanding the question, karan asking for
Vinay should reply what he asked for
instead of repeating statement.
It's a fascinating book, but I completely agree with Karan that placing that statement attributed by third-party sources to a letter from Amit Shah within quotation marks is misleading. On the overall, however, the book has relied on a large number of authoritative sources. Surprised that a product of NLSIU, Harvard and Princeton would place quotation marks around what is a third-party recollection of a statement from a letter when the author has not seen the letter, unless the sources themselves claimed that they had some way to prove that their recollection was a verbatim translation. Karan should actually be admired for calling that out because this one thing sticks out like a sore thumb in the entire book (other than saying that bhang contains opium) and the author would be doing himself a favour if he recognises this before moving on.
This journalist is not allowing the guest to speak, to finish one sentence. Disgrace!!!!
None of the politicians exactly comes out with glory. I am only talking about 95% corroborated part of the book, -as claimed by the author himself.
Whoever is watching this, please skip first 19 mins. Reminiscent of Karan's interview of Modi. Only diff is that Vinay didn't say, "Dosti bane rahe" and walk off.
Karan reduced the whole book to one incident.
"It's there in footnote " .. is it a book or footnote ?
All through Karan was trying to find a source material for proving his politics of rage against Modi which made him become a joke to the public of India.... Vinay managed to shut him up with facts and not let him carry on with his agenda...
Karan Thapar is hyper obsessed with objectivity and specificity, and many times those two aren't so important.
Karan Thapar is other side of Arnab Goswami. He literally did not let Vinay Sitapati speak.
Karan, in the process of pushing your interpretation of the event, you are eating away the space which you are supposed to give to your guest. Beyond a certain point, your hard push sounds ugly. By the way keep doing good work but remember balance is the key.
