Thanks again Mr Thapar, we would like to see more old times interviews.
Karan has always been fearless and truthful in his delivery. Great ❤
Good one Karan - let people see what was the mindset of the BJP leadership at that time..
You will never understand BJP's mindset wearing your rose colored glass. You hate and criticize the BJP but never ask fundamental question about the issue and its possible resolution. BJP atleast tried
@@Little-bird-told-me Very well said
@@Little-bird-told-meand what are those fundamental questions, which ac to u is more important than country itself and its people.
Wah, what a journalism, He was so brave even at that age.
Advani said he do not believe in Supreme Court ....... got Bharat Ratna 😂😂
This is nothing actually you won't believe a person when was confronted by a Supreme Court judgement which she didn't like she decided to screw the country by imposing a brutal national emergency got Bharat Ratna
Oh this is nothing a lady who overturned a Court judgment and imposed a nation wide emergency for 2 years, jailed hundreds, force sterilised hundreds also got Bharat Ratna
And her son who also overturned a court judgment to please few radical medieval Islamic bigots also got Bharat Ratna
Her father who didn't give a sh*t about Aksai chin taken over by china compared it to his bald head in the freaking Parliament and single handedly created the Pakistani show got Bharat ratna
That lady Also Broke Pakistan Into 2 Developed Country Made it Strong Like no one
Both Advani and Modi are extreamly communal
Hahah😂😂 they are extremely based
Rather say dangerously communal
@@Vij367the real communal is the fraud who discreetly removed the paintings of God Rama from the Indian Constitution. The original Indian Constitution had this painting on all edges and all pages of the Indian Constitution by eminent artist Nandalal Bose.
They are not communal. Modi did a lot for the Muslims. They are asserting our values of Hinduness.
Telling truth is not communal Islam divides humanity into kafirs and Momins and hence the divide
At least Advani had the guts to complete the interview!! Some can’t face any press let alone countenance Karan!!
दोस्ती बनी रहे. 🙏 🎧
What do you mean? Modi is afraid?
@@Vij367 no doubt in that
Yes it's a waste of time when the interviewer is running round and round on the same question
Advani is a hardened militant unlike 56-inch
Nice initiative of displaying archives ❤🙏🏻
Advani lied on that day
He was fully aware of the plan and executed with precision.
Advani lying in public is also part of rss strategy.
Because rss disowned godsay after he killed gandhi.
RSS is very clever to escape law .
It is impossible to catch hold red handed rss guys as it operates like a octopus with several faces.vhp rss bjp Bajrang dal all operate in tandom.
Advani never even participated in the freedom movement. He has done nothing noteworthy that is good of the country.
hahaha ...even Rajeev gandhi, rahul gandhi mamata bannerjee priyanka gandhi did not participate in freedom movement ...
Very good point....Advani shirf Gundagiri kiya hein politics mein......
@@PradiptaMandalFavCounter Neither did you LOL...
your opinion. majority indians think opposie
@@PradiptaMandalFavCounter. Poor you, pls calculate their ages and go back to the freedom movement, before shooting your thoughts! This man has been rewarded when even theCourts termed him a CRIMINAL! The future of things to follow under RSS Hindutwa!
It's a disgrace that this man has been given the "Bharat Ratna". This great honour has been shamelessly devalued by Modi. It's a case of one crook rewarding another to hide their joint criminal liability.
Then whom should be given BABUR AKBAR AURANGJEB????
@@shubrasankardeb2766 Tumko hi is question ka answer dhondna hoga ...:D
@@shubrasankardeb2766two wrongs don’t make a right. When would people understand that
@@shubrasankardeb2766, out of the three names that you have suggested, I would consider Akbar to be a serious contender for this award. He was the first muslim ruler who was a true believer in "Sarva Dharma Sambhaav" and went to great lengths to practice this great Hindu tenet. 400 hundred years later the Great Gandhi perfected it.
It's interesting that you have mentioned Aurangzeb - i wonder if you can see the stark similarities between Aurangzeb, Adwani and Modi??
Advani should have been made PM in 1998 and ruled till 2024
What he has done to Indian politics is complete EVIL. I don’t know how he can go to sleep with blood on his hands
The party he built has united all castes of Hinduism,even united all people across religious lines who consider Bharat has their motherland, his party is successfully revived a dying civilization installed pride for a country and made people believe that unlike Pakistan Bharat wasn't born on 1947 giving a sense National pride, Modernized India while keep our Unique cultural heritage intact
Who was responsible for the riots they happened because of fearmongering by the then ruling party,it was a simple dispute a survey had be conducted and if evidence of a temple was found Respectfully returning the land to its original religious character which could have been done right after independence even before BJP was formed but it was kept away from justice just for electoral gains
To consolidate votes minority were brainwashed into thinking that respectfully shifting a mosque from one place to another which by the way is done all the time in Saudi Arabia was even infrastructure projects like roads as in Islam unlike Hinduism the Mosque is a place where Muslim gather to pray and the structure in itself has no religious value as it is Haram to get religious attached to anything but Allah where as in Hinduism Gods are believed to reside in temples and they even do a pran pratishta (installing life into the idol) and hence if a temple is broken it is believed that God's essence still resides in the place and hence it is important to rebuilt the temple in the exact same place. If you see religious sentiments of both communities will not be hurt if a temple is built in that place. But for the votebank politics they used fearmongering and brainwashing the minority into thinking that a shifting of a Mosque from one place to another would somehow challenge the fact the the Muslim community role as an integral part of this country which took the lifes of hundreds not LK Advani
I didn't complete watching, because I couldn't. If Advaniji"s discomfort is very clear. I went out of control. If Advaniji and others were not responsible, then who was responsible?
He always speaks in this way. Check his other interview of his. Even in the interview given to Wajahat Saeed Khan he spoke exactly like this...
Man Behind communal clash in India
Who is behind killing of sikhs community in 1984 and Kashmir pandit killed in his own house and expelled from home under the government of congress
Did Karan Thapar ever asked congress top leaders about Sikhs brutally killed and Kashmir pandit.
He is culpable for all the violence. What a ratna of Bharat.
Great incisive interview. Advani shamelessly trying to defend himself and getting confused. His dubious character- one for himself and one for the party, and both not genuine, is exposed by Karan Thapar. From then (1990's) to now Thapar has been a stalwart.
Lol keep scratching one another's back, stalwart 😂
Still the Best was “APNI DOSTI BANI RAHE!” 😂😂😂
Mr Advani you started the ball rolling and had no planning or idea where to take it. Today we are facing the consequences of his foolishness. We are in a mess because of lack of clarity and and lack of direction of these so called leaders even when he was giving the interview the shakhas were busy teaching exactly what he was denying. Ha represented the party that believes in Manusmriti and Varna system and the fascist ideas. He is worse than the people who come out in open and declare their hatred and narrow ideas.
Well I would say we are much clearer now than ever… thanks to the internet.. we the kids of 0s now realise the agenda of leftist and congress to erase our ancient past and its glory… but truth can’t be hidden for long.. it will shine … and ya Gandhi is NOT our inspiration.. Shri Ram is and will always be.. so the direction is very clear .. RAM RAJYA
😂😂😂haha cope and seethe madam.
@@pipipupu5104 Tum kya IT cell mein ho...
Well this is politics, he did it even before the Congress party was about to do it legally and win support of hindus. Now you can see BJP has already ruled for complete 3 terms and is about to rule on 4th one too.
The all credit for the growth of BJP goes to Advani, Vajpayee, Sushma swaraj and Subramanian swamy. They literally turned Congress into dust while sitting in opposition. Congress literally lost 153 seats one of biggest defeat and still in 10 years they only managed to increase 50 e seats
The man who divided this beautiful country in the name of mandir & religion is going to get Bharat Ratna by another man who's doing the same. Bravo 👏
Advani will be remembered communal face of india. He divided hearts of communities ,and filld their hatered in their heart. That thime he was younger than today. He will be remembered ever for his hate againest native muslims of india. In his life he was thrown out of system like fly from the milk. He should now study verdict given by five prominent supreme court judjes word by word .and latest admission by chief justice in a public discourse at his native place.
Got to hand it to Advani for bravely defending his immoral and indefensible acts without a glass of water anywhere near him in sight.
Karan Thapar's incisive and merciless questions asked in his flowing impeccable language are a complete delight.
I wish he had the bravery to face his own signatory and hypocrisy.
Good one.
Karan Thapar Ji hasn't changed a wee bit. My salute to you, Sir.
He will go down in history as modern India’s greatest villain
Gone are the days when politicians were delighted to indulge in serious debates with journalists. May be that era has ended and journalism has gone to dogs
Nira Radia is a prime example for the same as to how some journalists become lapdogs of politicians
Down memory lane ...I watched this interview in 1993 & now a repeat ...a sort of Déjà vu is happening 😮
Karan thapar is looking quite young back THEN
He was quite young
Advani - incarnation of hypocricy.
Advanis is the reason India got a fascist person like Modi as PM.
Unlistenable un-bearable logics tendered by advani ji.
Karan thapar was and is a commendable journalist.
I have nothing but respect for Mr. Advani.
Took on question face on from Mr. Thapar.
I understand BJP RSS perspective, why they do what they do. And I find nothing wrong.
It’s is the magic of all these ideologies that make a nation great. Not language; not caste, doesn’t matter where you come from.
We keep fighting for what we believe.
In conclusion, we as people in years time will evolve.
None of the fear-mongering from right, center and left media would matter!
We survived 1984-85, 1992-93 .
Agenda always changes😊
You find nothing wrong? Says it all.
Younger people do not have any idea how crooked the thinking of Vajpayee / Advani was - the original crooks - groomed by the bengal brand of RSS (Shyama Prasad Mukherjee). Good that the Wire is making those truths come out. I feel appalled when present generation of people (including politicians in the opposition / non-BJP) glorifies Vajpayee and shows soft sympathies to Advani. Such volatile memory !
Kharan Thapar is a real gem in the world of journalism❤
VP Singh was brave enough to stop Advani's Rath yatra and arrest him.
The level of journalism is hard to find these days!!
But atleast Mr Advani was brave enough to take up the interview, many don't have the guts to even face a simple question.
The overturn window has shifted so much, all thanks to Advani. He started it...
Karan went from a mainstream media anchor to a youtuber and Advani's protégé is now the PM!
Advani is certainly not a Bharat Ratna material.
Ya but you know sometimes you have to give it to someone who is not from the gandhi family... Sad but reality 🥲
Karan, even those times, you are tough! Nevertheless, best one from the past. Looking forward such relevant ones to share as this has been testified by time with the ferocity of the conversational outcome(s)
What a brilliant and brave man Karan Thapar is....still these people are scared to face him.
Not even dankapati himself, infact his last encounter whith Thapar made him so scared with any real interview , leave alone this man.
The real fraud who put India in this situation 😡
The real fraud is the one who discreetly removed the sketched paintings of Lord Ram from the Indian Constitution. Even the plates which had the paintings were stolen and could not be found. Such frauds on Nandalal Bose’s cannot be forgotten or forgiven.
At least he didn't use a glass of water to stop the conversation
Advani jee has been so accommodating and persevered under such pressure from Mr. Thapar with a smile, a lot of current leader can learn from this how to disagree with opposing views in an acceptable manner.
Loved this interview not because of Karan's questions, because of the civil and decent discussion on their own thoughts & points.#GoodOldDaysOfDemocracy
There is no chance of this kind of interview in civil discussion will be appreciated in current governing political party or opposition party
Hate is his favorite emotion and his lips is very truthful.
Actually, he makes the right point. Kashmir Exodus happened in 1989 and many temples were desecrated that time, and these Journalists didn't bother to give this much of coverage. The nexus between Guys like Thappad & Congress has been made irrelevant for good... Congrats for Bharath Rathna Advani ji....
The father of Modi phenomenon
For which achievement this guy got Bharat Ratna award
Advani couldn't answer , he was caught
I don’t feel bad for Advani’s political condition today anymore, after seeing this interview . He deserves it.
He was LOP back then...After this interview ye went on to become Home minister,Deputy Prime Minister again BJP president and Now Bharat Ratna.What are you talking about ?
He needs to at least get the Thapar-Not run away award. Our joker today missed it
Damn ! Two things to note :
No.1 : Pre 2014 period, the norm was that leaders were to be accountable to media via interviews and press conferences. They were to answer the public after every major event. Also things were more professional and humane.
No.2 : In those days leaders hesitated to exhibit their real face of communal hatred and majoritarianism due to the presence of idea of "inclusivity" among the citizens. They feared the backlash from public and hence covered their intentions with fake mask of "inclusivity" and "secularism". In today's time, one doesn't hesitate to express true intentions cuz public wants to hear the same and it results in even more support.
Mr Karan is nasty. He submits obnoxious propositions. But on this occasion, Mr Advani taught him a good lesson. But he is not a learner.
Haha Advani himself is terribly confused how to defend his shit…..
@@saurabhbhatia2401 Advani wanted to say things that BJP openly says today. They just couldn't say it out loud at the time due to congressi cabal holding all positions of power
@@Anp562 Haha the Advani cabal in the BJP has taken this country to a dark path…… Advani is a coward, he could not say that he had a role in demolishing mosque….. Cowards only shout when they get power…..
no doubt he has created another coward called Modi who is fearful of answering any question….. whenever there is a crisis he sheds responsibility and disappears…… India needs to let go of this sanghi cabal very soon……
L K Advani is head and shoulders above modi and shah he had the courage to speak his truth and be honest at a time when he had no power at all. Kudos Advaniji !
A sindhi who migrated from Pakistan preaching Indian Hindu as Indian culture to an Hindu born b brought up in india while opposing secularism n minorities rights😅
Similarly after chest thumping "i m obc" in lok sabha ..today same modi opposes reservations while preaching non reservation category rights😅😂
After 100yrs still nobody can c this charade of rss in full public glare dancing nakedly
You know where father of mr thapar migrated from was there any pakistan before1947
@anmoltaneja8163 but u don't know that eulogy of jinnah is written by Advani..another Pakistan migrant
Not do u know that rss and jinnah together ruled Pakistan Punjab and Bengal province during British rule..cz only these 2 were allowed to rule
But do u know that nuclear scientist of rss a Marathi brahmin was caught spying for Pakistan last year
Or that 200rs gujaratis on border of Pakistanis sell indian info and spy for Pakistan ..
Don't believe me.....read reports with photograph and then go their n check yourself
@anmoltaneja8163 a sher for right wingers
Hothon se chhoo lo tum
Toh sach bhi jhooth ho jaaye
Karan Thapar is a voice of oppressed .
Karan Thapar is always brave and realistic showing mirror to these Shameless criminals.
आखिर राम का गर्भ गृह बिल्कुल सटीक जगह जहां राम को उनकी माता ने जन्म दिया ये तो कोई नही बता सकता. .फिर आडवानी ने पूरे देश मे झूठ क्यों फैलाया की राम का जन्म स्थान बाबरी मस्जिद ही है ?
To gain political power.
Hindu extremists like Advani, thackrey etc are revered in India. On the othe hand, extremists of minorities are labeled terrorists when in essence all extremists are same.
We saw how indirectly vajpayee said about demolition of Babri masjid just one day before that event...
This old man did all the evil to become PM end of the day what did he get ? 😂😂😂
He established his party lol🤣
Deputy prime minister & Bharat Ratna.What else you want?
अडवानी जी की यहाँ की गई पूरी बातें सिर्फ़ और सिर्फ़ मक्कारी से भरी हैं। Comparing Babri Masjid demolition with the Freedom Movement in any manner whatsoever is nothing but chicanery and deceitfulness.
When i was kid i don't like advaniji....Now i like him...
This means your are growing backward.
😂😂😂
@@jikkkjvghj hahaahaaaa
@jikkkjvghj i am sure you belong to section of those people...who are saying....mufti azhari is right....
When I was a kid I liked him.....Now I am repulsed by him.....
Advani and Prakash Kishore is responsible for placing highly communally charged politician Modi to the centre .
Great questions and feeble side-stepping answers, as expected.
Still, this was a time when questioning was seen as okay.
What’s the difference between between this guy and the talibans who destroyed the Bamiyan Buddha. Like they were rewarded in their country, he was rewarded with a Bharat Ratna here.
Build a million Ram temples, will it change the fate of the nation unless we change ourselves. Rama where ever he is will grieve in silence for the manner in which he is being used.
Karan you are very interesting. Calm, aggressive, little bit defensive, but persuasive. I hope you go through this interview again and check for the changes you have gone through. Jai Hind 🇮🇳
Mr.Thapar, we look forward to an interview with our Rahul Gandhi. I consider him a saint of modern India
Person responsible for 256 daths during carsava
That was Karan Thapar on a roll. I have to say Advaniji was very gracious. True dialogue, unlike in our times.
Respect for Advani ji who came as refugee to india leaving behind his posh bungalow in Karachi because of partition and sindh going to Pakistan. He built everything from scratch by working as pracharak in Rajasthan in 1950's and rose to the position of deputy prime minister of India in early 21st century. He destroyed pseudo secularism of liberals by playing a key role in Ram janmabhoomi cause and finally supreme court gave the judgement in favour of Hindus including one Muslim judge in the panel. He is orginal Hindu Hriday samrat. Bjp is the only party which always sided with Hindus.
After seeing this interview i can conclude what modiji did by abruptly stopping the interview was absolutely right !!! There is no point in convincing to such a person Thapar who always fumes on all the right wing ...."dosti bani rahe" an epic closure from modiji is enough for such chameleon journalists!!! After all modiji charisma has not even reduced by 0.1% even after ending the interview with Thapar....
Indian muslims should understand the sentiments of hindus as they are janmastans...and very imp places !!! Muslims if they understand and co operate here then there would be literally negligible violence !!!
he is aksing right questions..BJPee and their communal fascists cant handle these questions
@@counterpoint9260 who cares, if his next term is fixed then no value for Mr thapar to spew venom and get frustrated on Modi....
How does he explain the shout by the bhagwa clad women leader saying " ek dhakka aur lagao" or was she saying that to Manohar Joshi whilst the goons were trying to bring the monument down ..
Great leader like Advani have rightfully been given Bharat Ratna. Staunch, brave, decisive. 🙏
Mr Thapar. I salute you. At that time and with that guy you are so direct and blunt
Mr Thapar was not a journalist then, not today. He simply tries to propagate his narrow world view. Very pathetic.
Even though I am very strongly anti Modi we have to acknowledge that advani allowed karan thapar to asl him tough questions. Advani also has the ability to think on the spot and defend himself well, there has been a huge downgrade from him to Modi.
true
It's funny to hear that they talk of indian values and identity, and believe in Constitution when all their actions speak otherwise. They are masters of political one upmanship.
Karan from Pakistan questioning our leaders. We indians shouldn't allow it anymore.
Advani also Pakistani.
Great effort 💯 keep rocking this planet 🙏🤘✌️👌👊👍💗🕊️✨
Places of worship Act must be abolished.
What did RSS Hindu Mahasabha contribute to the freedom movement?
If babri wasn't to b toppled ..what was Rath yatra begin for ?
woke Karan thapar desparately trying to corner Advanijee... though totally unseccessfull.
What a golden journalist 👏 👌 Karan Thapar
There is a saying that in centuries a good man is born and a good devil, Advani is a living example of it, on December 6, 1992 he had swon the seed of hatred and unfortunately our present generation are paying the price.....
He’s 97 years of age now and has absolutely no shame, no regrets, no guilt, no self respect and courage to admit that, whatever damage he’s done to the Nation, secular structure of the country, he did is wrong (the word’wrong’ is too tiny)… and he has regrets too
Check "exmuslim" and save muslims and India.
This interviewer has become irrelevant in today's era😂😂😂
Turning Point of my Life Started From 1991 - Unforgettable
Very Interview
See what happened to him after 30 years. Sidelined. Not in Govt. not in party not in the Ram Mandir. Take the lesson.
Karan Thapar is very intelligent man 👍
Wanted to become pm, their is saying that's perfect for him haath ko aaya moh ko na lagaa
He became larger than pm . Look at 1990 to know the man single handedly responsible for greater hindu awakening across India. The man who trained pm Vajpayee pm Modi hd deve gowda and many others. The man who made sure upa and congress never again comes back to power. 96 year got bharat ratna. What else do he want. Hahah😂
He established himself and his party permanently in Indian politics.Thats a bigger achievement.After his Yatra,for the 1st time BJP became principal opposition party with 120 seats and then never went below 110 seats mark.Whereas congress was left with 44 in 2014😂
But he is bigger than Any ordinary PM.He is Father of temple movement.Became HM,Deputy PM and now Bharat Ratna.
After publishing the Gumshuda Ad for Karn Th ....in Hindustan Times ..A guy name Vir S has come forward to share that this Karan Guy and he himself are now Begging for alms in lutyens Delhi 😮
Golden times of journalism.
Karan is good at cracking jokes, 'freedom movement was peaceful' ! Really so ???????
OMG he got Bharat ratan🙄😕
Anything can happen under Modi. He is a MONSTER.
This Karan Thapar is from India or pakistan or China?
Ecuador.
Adwani id proved right today. He was the flag bearer for establishing Hindu Identity.
He is paying the price
You can call them(advani and bihari) the father of modi, they're the reason that Modi/Yogi etc exists.
This Advani is the real culprit in boosting the communalism in this country.
Just hoping to become the PM of this country.But another cunning movement by a similar communal person sabotaged this man’s dreams.
