I wouldn't excuse this leader from the Ayodhya incident in 1992 but at least he seems to have courage to face an open interview. Appreciate him for that.
Babri demolition was very much result of Rajiv Gandhi's indifferent leadership. Muslims didn't vote congress because they believed in secular liberal values. They voted congress because they could continue to arm twist government on secular policies. Tolerance of Hindus was taken for granted. Rajiv Gandhi was forced to open Ram temple and perform shilanyas and rest is history

I did not support his party in 1992 neither do I support his party today and will never in future. But I can say that Mr. Vajpayee is honorable, honest and respectable Person.

And Rahul Gandhi has been answering questions to the fascist hindutwa agenda media from past 10 years as if he was in power and liable to answer questions. Unlike Modi, he is not going to shit his pants and drink water and run away. RaGa has enough honesty and guts to face honest Journalists like Thapar.
I admire Atal Bihari Vajpayee as a leader regardless of what people say of him. He was sincere and honest and always spoke his mind. He was never reluctant to stand for what his values were regardless of party, ideology or religious beliefs. Few people have this level of humility and maturity.
Can we expect an interview like this in modern India. This absence is called the demise of democratic values in modern times. What is correct or incorrect is debatable but these values should remain to ask questions.

Loved this ! Vajpayee was so eloquent and at ease even in English ....I thought he was a reluctant English speaker and that his articulation was limited to mostly Hindi ...but infact he seems to be quite a natural at bringing correct thoughts to tongue even in English. Also ...he was so sharp in picking up on the Freudian slip around the end of the interview.
When I was a small boy in class 4 I hardly think much about our former PM, he was another old politician and as kids I really never cross my mind what sort of a man he was seeing him on TV. Now comparing to the current BJP lot, he was gold.
Thank you Wire for bringing out this interview. Very interesting. It exposes the present establishment. An insult to his legacy Worship with their mouth but disrespect his
@anandixitin Touché! It is rank hypocrisy to go through the entire charade of the Rathyatra and ensuing episodes of violence, talk of flattening the land for a new construction, and then rue what happened on 6 Dec. The answers reek of sheer hypocrisy and irresponsible crocodile tears. On some accounts he might have been a great man, but that does not absolve him of his sins in this matter.
I don't think mob was in anyone's control. Vajpayee just hoped that violence would be limited to periphery. All political protests tend to go out of control. How many trains were burnt in protest against agniveer!
Who cares for ABV now. Even present BJP have forgotten him. Now parry has become slave of Modi Shah. Just like present Congress forgotten M K Gandhi, these people don't care about Vajpayee.
Thanks for sharing the interview & thanks to people who elected such leaders. Leaders who had courage to publically accept their failures. Hope we get to see someone like him soon.
Why don't we remember Vajpayee's double speak about Babri Masjid throughout that period? All details are given in the relevant chapter of the book written by Home Secretary, Madhav Godbole Unfinished Innings. There is the truth. Everything else is what politicians say to cover up the truth. Only V P Singh and Lalu Yadav did the right thing on the Mandir Masjid issue. Noone else. Not Rajiv Gandhi or Advani either. This is what history will write. Watch the documentary Ram ke Naam. Didn't this poor country need anything more important to do for its people than THIS to fight over?
The late Vajpayee , the late prime minister of India , by perchance was a claptrap. The plan for demolition of the Babri Mosque had been pte-determined on the wintry night December 1948 itself when the idol of Ram was surreptitiously installed by three extremist sages of Ayodhya. The demolition plan was premeditated and the gruesome polirician Advani vaporized the plan in parallel to Mandal Commission promulgation. Vajpayee had been a scapegoat which he had proved himself then and there. 1. When ordering to deport from India an English correspondent who had reported in the press that Vajpayee used to ' drink ' every night before to bed. 2. In the same podium where he sat along with Nelson Mandela, the latter when inquired whether he could be a mediator in the Indo - Pak regarding Jammu & Kashmir , in the same podium Vajpayee repudiated openly Mr. Mandela , of his service of mediation unnecessary. Mr. Vajpayee was just a lozenge in the hands of the Sangh Parivar. 3. Vajpayee tried his hands during his reign as prime minister to crown with Bharat Ratna for Gokwalker and Hegdewar - the Hinutva protagonists , but was thwarted by the Opposition parties. 😅😅😅
Mr Thapar thsnk u for sharing this old interview,atalji was a statesman,man of principles,talked to opposition whenever it is needed but modi is narrow minded,brutal and uses ED as a tool ro suppress opposition.
Atal ji must be knowing what will happen on 6 December 1992 in ayodhya so he is as guilty as advani for babri mosque demolition. He was as equal rss leader as advani or modi. The diffrence is he has done politics in 90s when bjp didnt get enough seats to make government on his own thatswhy he kept moderate face to accomodate other alliance parties of nda. If he had a majority govt like modi he would be equal hard in enforcing hindutva agenda of rss on india.
What a huge difference between Vajpayee a perfect gentleman who sincerely believed in democracy and Modi. The respect that Vajpayee earned will never be there for Modi who is running the country like his personal feifdom and democratic values are being done away with!
If you want listened whole interview… Mr. Karan addresses Vajpayee as Advani and loved that reaction from Vajpayee ji… not often you see Mr. Karan offering apologies
To say that what happened was regrettable, anguishing and stuff and also that he was unhappy with many things inside the party is either a reflection of how straightforward he was or the BJP was going through a huge amount of criticism and this was a way to reduce the blowback.
Atleast he had guts to give an interview for incident...Whereas the current PM don't even dare to say a word about incident in Manipur...what's surprising is Atalji really belived in the person who would eventually betray his trust. All in All Vajpayee is the kind of leader whom we want who are honest and atleast when something goes wrong, they take responsibility and face people and media and answer them.
How BJP could have built Ram Temple at Babri masjid location without destroying Masjid ?? Destruction is a planned and deliberate act . Why this dead BJP leader lying ?
Vajpayeeji was honest in this interview .He was deceived by his own party men & ultimately that led to the demolition of the Babri Masjid. He clearly clearly said ,we do not have Kashi & Varnasi in our agenda at all....
Vajapeyiji was a politician with morals and ethics.. respect his courage to say what went wrong and made him unhappy Karan Thapar is unmatchable in this job.
The best and most civilized Prime Minister our country has ever got. You will always be remembered as an upholder of the values of dignity and tolerance - There are not many politicians like you 🙏🏼
Technically the late PM Shri Narsinha Rao was right on every count, a PM who follows the rule of law, the basic principles of our constitution. But if we compare this with todays PM Modi who do not care about the rule of law or the principles of Indias constitution and does things as per his & RSS wishes, then today we can say PM Narsinha Rao should have taken very strong actions without bothering about constitutionality!🤔🤔
The difference of leadership with current one is so stark. Those times leaders spoke face to face, these days they dog whistle from the pulpit or through monkey bath.
he was just trying to be Holly in a crowd of evil Have you listen his speech before babri demolition? What action did he take at 2002 riots other than requesting than Gujarat CM to follow the rajdharma. Vajpayee advani, joshi, and other colleagues are main culprit of destruction of democracy and are architect of todays India
Respect to the then PM, he was the one with a clear mindset and accepted the flaws and still managed to answer with courage.... Need more like bajpayee ji who respected the laws unlike what's happening currently.. No one comes to take the blame...those who never accept their mistake, never learns from them...
AB Vajpayee was not the PM in 1992. It was PV Narasimha Rao. Vajpayee was then the leader of the Opposition. He became PM for the first time in 1996. He was indeed a gentleman, whom critics called the Nehru of the Right Wing. He was sincere, decent and a man of principles. May his soul rest in peace. He is my only personal favourite among all the BJP leaders.
Dr Jekill - perfect acting. No penitence, remorse. Dr Jekill deputed Mr Hyde (advani) to execute his plan. Last few years he suffered for his tongue-twisting & his dear deputy is living dead & anonymity, deaf & dumb.
If not for the deteriorating health of Vajpayeeji, India would have seen a communally harmonized BJP rule from 2014.. Alas, the very things he feared are now at play
I wouldn't excuse this leader from the Ayodhya incident in 1992 but at least he seems to have courage to face an open interview. Appreciate him for that.

2. In the same podium where he sat along with Nelson Mandela, the latter when inquired whether he could be a mediator in the Indo - Pak regarding Jammu & Kashmir , in the same podium Vajpayee repudiated openly Mr. Mandela , of his service of mediation unnecessary.
Mr. Vajpayee was just a lozenge in the hands of the Sangh Parivar.
3. Vajpayee tried his hands during his reign as prime minister to crown with Bharat Ratna for Gokwalker and Hegdewar - the Hinutva protagonists , but was thwarted by the Opposition parties. 😅😅😅
Absolutely true sir great effort towards establishing the voice of peace above all 🙏✌️👍👊👌🤘🥰💗💯🕊️
Mr Thapar thsnk u for sharing this old interview,atalji was a statesman,man of principles,talked to opposition whenever it is needed but modi is narrow minded,brutal and uses ED as a tool ro suppress opposition.
Inspite of difference in ideology, this man commands respect. He was ready to speak, listen, befriend people. Unlike current folks.
You are doing great work
This Video should get millions of views. Vajpayee ji what a man .. greatest of them all .. salute!
What an honest Being,being a politician! It's very hard to see now a days..lots of respect for Atalji🙏🙏🙏
Atal ji must be knowing what will happen on 6 December 1992 in ayodhya so he is as guilty as advani for babri mosque demolition. He was as equal rss leader as advani or modi. The diffrence is he has done politics in 90s when bjp didnt get enough seats to make government on his own thatswhy he kept moderate face to accomodate other alliance parties of nda. If he had a majority govt like modi he would be equal hard in enforcing hindutva agenda of rss on india.
Itna achhe leader could not become pm second time
What a huge difference between Vajpayee a perfect gentleman who sincerely believed in democracy and Modi. The respect that Vajpayee earned will never be there for Modi who is running the country like his personal feifdom and democratic values are being done away with!
Unparalleled Karan, always succeeded in showing true. face of the interviewees.
Our cartoon would have drank 10 glasses of water and would have run from that place.
The evolution of his party from his time to now can be described as from heaven to hell!! 😢
What a great man!!! And the interview was nice
Nation needs a Leader like Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee once again 🙏🙏🙏
He was a great human being to maintain moral ethics.....
Last Question: Who had said 'Samtal tou karna padega' ?
If you want listened whole interview… Mr. Karan addresses Vajpayee as Advani and loved that reaction from Vajpayee ji… not often you see Mr. Karan offering apologies
I just loved that hearty laughter from Vajpayee ji.. he was really fun to be with.. he indeed had a heart of gold.. 🥰
When justice prevails, all eyes can see and all ears can hear the truth.
Hats off The Man Mr. Karan Thapar 💐
For bjp, rss...it was literally... baghal में छुरी, मुँह पर ram ram

@@fh8047If the Same British Said to you how you Feel ?
To say that what happened was regrettable, anguishing and stuff and also that he was unhappy with many things inside the party is either a reflection of how straightforward he was or the BJP was going through a huge amount of criticism and this was a way to reduce the blowback.
Atleast he had guts to give an interview for incident...Whereas the current PM don't even dare to say a word about incident in Manipur...what's surprising is Atalji really belived in the person who would eventually betray his trust. All in All Vajpayee is the kind of leader whom we want who are honest and atleast when something goes wrong, they take responsibility and face people and media and answer them.
This interview made us feel and understand very clearly that the ideology of Mr.Atal bihari vajpayee was not alike of RSS or Advani or else
RSS is miles better than any islamic organisation lol. You're clueless ffs
How BJP could have built Ram Temple at Babri masjid location without destroying Masjid ??
Destruction is a planned and deliberate act .
Why this dead BJP leader lying ?
He is a real man and a politician.
This kind of man is needed to be a PM. Salute to his bravery
Vajpayeeji was honest in this interview .He was deceived by his own party men & ultimately that led to the demolition of the Babri Masjid. He clearly clearly said ,we do not have Kashi & Varnasi in our agenda at all....
Watch Vir Sanghi recent video on Ayodya issue on The Print. Very informative.
Today's politicians don't have the balls to answer questions like this in public.
Such people are no more 😢😢😢
searching interview indeed !--didn't view earlier, thanks very much for timely flashback !
True and Well Said
The laugh at 12:14 and the "of course" at 12:35 are clear indications of the confidence and belief the man has in himself. Legend 🙏🙏
There once was an Atal and now we have a Modi. What a stark difference.
Atal was not Atal. Modi is a problem solver. He has solved Article 370 and Ram Temple which had been on BJPs agenda since the 1990s.
@@mattking3495 You're right. It was "BJP's" agenda.
@@devm3116 Agenda was set by Babar, Nehru, Indian Muslims and Congress party. Modi solved it.
@@mattking3495I adored Atal ji but Modi is a far better leader.

Vajapeyiji was a politician with morals and ethics.. respect his courage to say what went wrong and made him unhappy
Karan Thapar is unmatchable in this job.
Generations pass by... today we know the ugliness behind the "mukhota"
The best and most civilized Prime Minister our country has ever got. You will always be remembered as an upholder of the values of dignity and tolerance - There are not many politicians like you 🙏🏼
People always said one thing about him.. "THE RIGHT MAN IN THE WRONG PARTY"..!! So true..
He is INDIAN, He is HINDU. This is what we are. Not what is trending nowadays.
Vajpayee was a good, honest, straightforward man with good morals unfortunately not present in today's politicians 😮
Technically the late PM Shri Narsinha Rao was right on every count, a PM who follows the rule of law, the basic principles of our constitution. But if we compare this with todays PM Modi who do not care about the rule of law or the principles of Indias constitution and does things as per his & RSS wishes, then today we can say PM Narsinha Rao should have taken very strong actions without bothering about constitutionality!🤔🤔
The difference of leadership with current one is so stark.
Those times leaders spoke face to face, these days they dog whistle from the pulpit or through monkey bath.
Netas come and go - Karan Thapar is always a legend! Now they just don't have the balls to face him. Respect to Atalji.

Vir Sanghi report Ayodya issue on The print was very interesting!
He predicted we were becoming intolerant and it came true today. Mr Vajpayee is a rare politician and such breed doesn't exist in India anymore.
he was just trying to be Holly in a crowd of evil
Have you listen his speech before babri demolition?
What action did he take at 2002 riots other than requesting than Gujarat CM to follow the rajdharma.
Vajpayee advani, joshi, and other colleagues are main culprit of destruction of democracy and are architect of todays India
Vishwaguru can't speak to Press like this
Only a true gentleman can have the courage to stand with the truth. And doesnt think what it will cost
Respect to the then PM, he was the one with a clear mindset and accepted the flaws and still managed to answer with courage.... Need more like bajpayee ji who respected the laws unlike what's happening currently.. No one comes to take the blame...those who never accept their mistake, never learns from them...
AB Vajpayee was not the PM in 1992. It was PV Narasimha Rao. Vajpayee was then the leader of the Opposition. He became PM for the first time in 1996.
He was indeed a gentleman, whom critics called the Nehru of the Right Wing. He was sincere, decent and a man of principles. May his soul rest in peace. He is my only personal favourite among all the BJP leaders.
"That will require a long reply....." - Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee
What a statesman! For who the country mattered. Shame on the current ruling dispensation! Shame!
I have highest respect for Late Atal Behari jee ...
Dr Jekill - perfect acting. No penitence, remorse.
Dr Jekill deputed Mr Hyde (advani) to execute his plan. Last few years he suffered for his tongue-twisting & his dear deputy is living dead & anonymity, deaf & dumb.
The wait of 500 yrs over..6 dec should not have happened. But Mandir must be built in Ayodhya
Wow! Archives of Mr. Thapar.✌👍
If not for the deteriorating health of Vajpayeeji, India would have seen a communally harmonized BJP rule from 2014.. Alas, the very things he feared are now at play
If he was voted into power for the second term, we may have delayed the current version of BJP.

Now in the land of cow worship , india is the highest beef exporter in the world. Truly hipocracy ki bhi seema hoti hai.
This is beyond the understanding of you ChrIslamists. 😅😅😅
Immaculate, nostalgic and to some extent, revealing the shape of things that followed...
Thanks for sharing this old interview pertaining to a turning point of Indias political history that has brought our country upside-down?🤔🤔
