Yesterday, I was packing up his furniture from his house, until we find a new place for him. I was looking at the storeroom, putting all the cardboard boxes, one on top of the other. And I was thinking to myself, that a few years ago I also had to move my home. I had my children to help me. My husband helped me. I have a family of my own, and I was thinking my brother doesn't have his own children, his own wife and family to help him, even though he has the rest of us. I went to his room. Only the two sofas were left. He was sitting there alone. I said to him, tomorrow we are going to Vainad. I said, I am not very good at speaking in English, making speeches. So I looked at him. He answered me, don't worry. All you have to do is talk to them as if you are their family, because you are their family. My brother's family. I don't know if you remember, but one of the first times I came here during the 2019 election, I gave a speech in which I told you a lot of things about my brother which I thought people did not know. I don't know if you remember, but one of the first times I came here during the 2019 election, I told you a lot of things about my brother which I thought people did not know. But today, almost four years later, I know that you know Rahul. You know that he is an honest man, unafraid to speak the truth. You know that he is by the power of those who want to silence him. You know that he is a compassionate man, always ready to hear about your life, your struggles and to lend you a helping hand. You know that he has worked hard for you. He has raised your issues, tried to resolve your problems. He has stood by you through your difficult times and you have stood by him through his. You know that he is a compassionate man, always ready to hear about your life, your struggles and to lend you a helping hand. You know that he is by the power of those who want to silence him. You elected him, caught in Gujarat, has passed a judgement after which from parliament as your MP. His future as your MP is in the hands of the courts. For me, it is a strange thing to know this, to know that you elected him and that for the time being he has been disqualified from even fighting another election for eight years. To ask questions, to demand accountability, to raise issues is the job of a parliamentarian. To ask questions, to demand accountability, to raise issues is the job of a parliamentarian. We are free to debate, we are free to dissent. To find it even stranger that a whole government, every minister, every MP, even the prime minister himself finds it acceptable and appropriate to malign and mercilessly attack one man just because he asked a question they could not respond to. But then my brothers and sisters, the truth is always uncomfortable. Especially for those who lie, for those who unleash an industrial scale of propaganda against anyone who dares to question them. Our nation was built on the foundation of truth, of non-violence, equality and justice. Our fight for freedom was called sathya graha, it was a fight for truth. The parliament, the judiciary, the media, these were institutions built to protect these freedoms. Yesterday while watching television, I heard some ministers of the BJP saying that the Congress party has taken one man's issue and is making it out of, to be an issue of democracy. It seems to me to be exactly the opposite. The entire government and the BJP are trying to turn our democracy upside down just to protect one man. His name is Gautam Adani. Our country is at a crossroads. What has happened to my brother is just a symptom. It is a symptom of how far we are down the path towards a dictatorship today. Today the government believes that it can silence any dissent. It believes it can take our ports, our airports, even some of our defence establishments and pass them on to their businessmen friends. The whole government defends a man. The whole government defends a man whom they have enabled to make thousands of crores a day, but they don't defend farmers who make only 27 rupees a day. Our soldiers stand at the borders ready to sacrifice their lives while Mr. Adani succumbed to the situation. Our soldiers stand at the borders ready to sacrifice their lives while Mr. Adani subcontracts to Chinese businesses. Our Prime Minister feels responsible to defend Mr. Adani, but he feels no responsibility towards the people of India. This government believes that it owns India, but India belongs to you, my brothers and sisters. Standing here today, I ask you, each one of you and all those watching, put India first now. When the institutions are failing to be checks and balances for the government, it is our job. The people of India's job to become the check and balance for this government. And you're tired of watching the Prime Minister change costumes every day and having no change in your own lives, having no future to think of. There are jobs required. The government is doing nothing about it. Prices are soaring. Every day is a difficulty, a new struggle and yet there is no accountability. We will not stop asking questions. We will question them, we will ask for accountability, we will keep speaking the truth no matter what they do to us. You in Vainad are showing the country the way. They are trying to silence my brother. You have become his voice. They disqualify him from parliament and you come here in huge numbers to receive him and show him your support. They ask him to leave his home and thousands of you open your houses and urge him to take them to stay in your own homes. I am deeply grateful to you for your support because you have understood that this is not the issue of one man. This is the issue here is the kind of country we want for our children. It is about building a strong and brave country for our children. It is about building a country in which everybody is free to express their love and support. This dissent to ask for accountability and a true democracy is established again. It is about asking questions for accountability and a true democracy is established again. It is about building a country in which everybody is free to express their love and support. Jai Hind Jai Hind Jai Hind With much love and effort, now I invite our Honorable Leader Ravulji Dharan ji, MM Hassan ji, NK Premachandran ji, Padmasri Charuvayal Raman ji, Kalpatanarayanan Master ji, Ketaparam Damodran Nambudri ji, Joy Matthew P. Surindran ji, brothers and sisters, friends, I would like to welcome all of you to this meeting here today. I would like to wish all of you belated Easter and for the coming Vishu and Perunal festivals. Four years ago, I came here and became your member of parliament. And for me the campaign was a completely different type of campaign. In the regular campaign and I have done many, many campaigns, many speeches, in the regular campaign you go and you speak about policies, you speak about what should happen, you tell people about your political ideas. But this campaign in 2014, I remember when I came here, it was much more as if I had come home to my family. Of course, I don't belong to Kerala but the enthusiasm and the affection and the manner in which you embraced me gave me the feeling that you are part of my family, that I am your brother, your son. And I have thought quite a lot, now I have been member of parliament for quite a few years and I have thought quite a lot what it means to be a member of parliament. I am proud to be a member of parliament. I have been able to understand the experience of being a member of parliament. I have to know the importance of being a member of parliament. To be a representative of people, you have to understand the emotions of people. You have to understand the suffering of people. You have to understand the difficulties of people. You have to have the humility to touch people, to treat people as your equals. Sometimes to treat people as your superiors. So a true representative of the people develops by attacking himself. By giving up things that one desires, by not fighting for what you want but fighting for what people want. By becoming, maybe one can say less arrogant and more humble. A representative of the people also raises the issues of people without being scared of the consequences, without being worried about what it means to raise the issues of the people. The MP member of parliament is just a tag. It is a position, it is a post. So the BJP can take away the tag. They can take away the position, they can take away the house, they can put me in jail. But they cannot stop me from representing the people of Vainat. What does it mean to represent the people of Vainat? It means to fight for the things that are important to you. There are practical things like the night road, the buffer zone, the medical college. These are obvious things. You can ask any child in Vainat, you can ask any person in Vainat. They will tell you the three most important things. But then there is also another thing that is important to the people of Vainat. And that is the type of country and the type of state they live in. The people of Vainat and the people of India want to live in a country which is free. They want to live in a country where their child is allowed to learn and understand anything he chooses. They want to live in a country where their child is allowed to learn and understand anything he chooses. And no one in this country wants to live in a country where four or five people own the entire country. And that is what it means to be a representative of the people of Vainat and a representative of the people of India. I have been fighting now the BJP for quite some years. And it surprises me that in so many years they have been unable to understand their opponent. They do not understand that their opponent will not get intimidated. It surprises me that they cannot see this. They think that by sending police to my house I will get scared. They think by taking away my house I will get disturbed. My sister did not tell you but I was actually happy that they took away my house. It is not interesting for me to live in that house. How many people in Vainat lost their house? I saw hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of families lose their house in Vainat. When the floods came here, the first thing I saw in Vainat was how you responded to the floods. And I learnt from you, take my house, take it 50 times, I do not care. I will continue to raise the issues of the people of Vainat and the people of India. You the BJP divide people. You make people fight. You threaten people. You abuse as much as you want. I will keep uniting people. I will keep uniting people. I will keep respecting every single community and religion. You be as nasty as you want as evil as you want. I will continue to be as kind as I can, even to you. Because this is a fight of two visions of India. You represent one vision of India. And we represent another vision of India. And we are not scared of your intimidation, aggression or nastiness. In fact, we find it quite amusing. And I will continue to represent the people of Vayanan. Whether it is the night road, whether it is the medical college, whether it is the buffer zone, doesn't matter if I am not an MP. I will make sure that these things happen in Vayanan. I will make sure that all the medical colleges in Vayanan will be aware of the situation. Don't think that just because I am not your MP and they have disqualified me, my relationship with you is going to change. Don't think that because you have lost my position, you have made me an IOC, and I am not saying for 2-3 years, my entire life, my relationship is not going to change with you now. Let them take away whatever they want, let them put me in jail, I don't care. My relationship with the people of Vayanan is going to stay the same. After all, what did I do? What did I do? I went to parliament and I asked the Prime Minister some questions about a businessman. I just asked him, Mr. Narendra Modi, please explain your relationship with Mr. Adhani. I kept asking that simple question. In my speech in parliament, I used media reports to show that Mr. Adhani who was number 609th on the list of wealthiest people in the world, became number 2. And I gave examples of how the Prime Minister himself had facilitated this growth. I showed examples of how the Indian Prime Minister had facilitated this growth. I showed how the military, the defence relationship between Israel and India was completely transformed to help Mr. Adhani. I showed how the rules of Indian airports were changed to help Mr. Adhani. I showed how foreign policy was used to help Mr. Adhani. And I asked a simple question, what is your relationship with this man? Prime Minister has not answered that question. And for the first time you saw that the government itself is not letting parliament run. Ministers of the BJP lied about me in the house. The rule in parliament is that if anybody says anything about a parliament member, that parliament member has the right to reply. I went to the speaker with the rule and I said, Speaker sir, they have lied about me under this rule. I should be allowed to speak. I went to the speaker and said, Under this rule I should be allowed to speak. I went to the speaker and said, I should be allowed to speak. I wrote him two letters. I went to his office and said, Speaker sir, why are you doing this? He said, I have no choice. He said, I have no other choice. You come and drink some tea with me and then I will explain it to you. He said, Mr. Hanai and I will have a cup of tea with me. So the entire parliament house was shut. I was not allowed to reply and then at the end of it, because the government is very uncomfortable about the type of questions that I ask, about the issues that I raise and remove from parliament, doesn't matter. This is the biggest gift that they could have given me. I don't have the opportunity to talk again in the parliament. They even asked me to speak. But I desire to speak and tell to them that this is the biggest chance. Because, I have to tell you, how do I know that what I am doing is correct? I know that if the BJP is taking away my house, is disqualifying me from parliament, is attacking me 24 hours, I know that I am doing the right thing. In the end, I would like to repeat, my disqualification does not mean anything as far as my relationship with you is concerned. I would like to repeat, my disqualification does not mean anything as far as my relationship with you is concerned. I promise you, this disqualification will only deepen my relationship with you, because my relationship with you is one of a family, is one of a brother, is one of a son and that is not going to change. I would also like to thank all the leaders from the congress party, from the UDF, all our workers for the immense support, love and affection that you have given me. You know as far as the people of Vainata are concerned, it does not matter which political formation you are part of, whether you are UDF or you are LDF, I know that you have a relationship with me, a relationship of affection, a loving relationship and that is what I intend to deepen. I would like to thank all the leaders from the congress party, from the UDF, all our workers for the immense support, love and affection that you have given me. I would like to thank all the leaders from the congress party, from the UDF, all our workers for the immense support, love and affection that you have given me.
