I am disappointed SG did not reference Pratibha tai. The most geographical president we ever had.
Geography 😂😂
Why so ?
Has she passed away ?
@@tapemaj there are leaders who's work travels time and geography and then there are leaders who just travel.
Nehru's Congress promoted corruption & license Raj!! They literally corrupted the whole Indian society!! It's NOT fair to single out a few people!!
SG has either missed or ignored the legendary exploits of Pratibha Tai.
Even R Venkataraman took four truckloads of articles from the Rashtrapati Bhavan when he demited the office.
This is the result of Nehru's Congress promoting corruption & license Raj!! They literally corrupted the whole Indian society!!
The SC in India should also order a Toshakhana white paper for the period from 1947 onwards. It would be interesting to see how much our politicians have looted and if Bihar or West Bengal government ever got any foreign gifts.
mea.gov.in/images/CPV/Disclosure_2021_Annexure_II.pdf
Pratibha Patil our ex president was known to have taken away two truck loads of gifts after her term was over.
@@pichumanisankar2617 proof ?
Nehru kept all the alcoholic drinks
Instead of waiting SC, you can file PIL.
Wasn't Pratibha Patil accused of taking gifts home
I heard from hearsay that earlier President Mrs.Pratiba Patil had taken Trucks load of Gifts presented to her when she left the office ; By Contrast , Respected Dr.APJ Kalam Sahib had returned everything and went home with His shirt and Pant ; India has great rules and regulations only to be followed ; Our legal system have no teeth to catch the faulty ;
PM relief fund is now a private trust and beyond the purview of RTI . How honest and admirable desi leader .
@@jkardez4794it's audited annually: www.pmcares.gov.in/en/web/page/about_us. It's ridiculous how many people keep parroting the same lines without common sense.
@@dineshpr5965 Thanks . But surprisingly PM cares fund doesn't come under the purview of RTI for some strange reason . Ridiculous?
@@jkardez4794 yeah it's a private fund managed by the PM's office with independent trustees. Not a paisa of tax money is used and donations are fully voluntary so it doesn't come under RTI as well. I don't know what you call "ridiculous", but it sure is transparently audited and disbursed. Surely there are old timers who equate "private" with "corrupt" for absolutely no reason.
What do you expect out of a colonial constitution??!! The supreme court of Britain In India can't even speak India's native languages!! Meanwhile, much of Indian society including mainstream media copy pastes colonial narratives & habits!!
High time India & Indians DECOLONIZE!!
It is not about how much money you have, how popular you are, it is all about processes.
India has those processes even when India was ruled mostly by one party.
That's because India is a country based on common civilized principles. Pakistan is a colonial creation that has no basis of existence, hence no rules and everything there happens on an ad hoc basis.
@@orkkojit Nope. Many countries are created by colonial powers. All are not like that.
I think,Pakistan is like this bcz of only one reason - Hate. The whole existence is on basis of hate and nothing good can come out of hatred.
It was created on basis of hate, it teaches hatred towards Hindu and India in der schools.
Now they have become that hateful country and hence dy r like this.
Wow, Alice in Wonderland. No doubt India is on the top of Transparency Intl with the most stainless politicians and bureaucrats .
@@jkardez4794 People Who doesn't understand things,put these types of sarcastic remarks. Obviously we are far from being a good democracy. India needs to reach the EU level of democratic processes.
However we have many checks and balances unlike most of Asian countries.
That's not entirely true is it? It's largely a post Vajpayee phenomenon.
Breaking News: Punjab Police has retreated from Canal Road and left. Imran Khan has defeated the state in an important front
Police will face action for firing tear gas inside imran khan residence.
My man Shaukat Aziz, half of that list contained his name only. That dude turned the Toshakhana into his personal locker.
Imran Khan's party tweeted out calling their Govt fascist. The irony 😂😂😂
Imran Khan itself fascists man
Shekhar.. do see the article below regarding the usage of cars gifted to Rajiv Gandhi, and the fact that he used them for personal use.. would be very interesting for you to do a similar analysis for the Indian PMs.. you forgot to mention the institutionalising of the auction system was brought in by Modi.. I assume you knew that Rajiv used these cars to drive around to his farmhouse, esp the Range Rover (registration number: DDB 319).
No he won't talk about that ...there might be lots of other skeletons in that cupboard. It must have been chump change for Rajiv given the scale of his Bofors scams.
Pakistani Kattar imandar
I am fully convinced now. Choosing to become an engineer was a very stupid decision. Now I want to be a Politician! 😂
Don't we get to know who gifts these to the dignitaries? Not even in India?
Yeah ,who are these foreign dignitaries.
Higher countries or lower friends or foes
PM relief fund is now a private trust and beyond the purview of RTI . How honest and admirable desi leader .
@@jkardez4794 Loz!! Go to Saudi Arabia & Iran for honesty or honor when Chinese are putting their Uighur, Islamic brothers in concentration camps!!
Pratibha Patil to SG - “Am I a joke to you”
@ThePrint, Could you please declutter the Bank collapses happening in the US?
The list weren't published voluntarily rather it was provided on court orders yet the record before 2003 has deliberately been kept out . Thus , now the court has rejected this list and ordered government to come with the complete list.
You digest Main point as what I can expect from Indians " Imran khan receive that watches then he submitted to toshakhana and then toshakhana mark it price then Imran khan bought it from toshakhana as per described law"
As in the past Imran Khan, Bilawal pappu all run to the US and their media to complain about their own country. Rahul pappu is doing the same thing 😄😄😄
Very interesting!
I’m not sure if any other country has such returns for being a bureaucrat or politician.
Pakistan gift story is good enough but we were expecting banking crisis from the US!
It's work in progress, SG ji is not very confident of delivering it right away, he is compiling the info at his own pace.
Praribha Patil took gifts with her and encroached on valuable land in Pune. Such trash we have thrown out in 2014.
Just a tiny correction. The watch that was sold in Dubai that was recognised was not a Rolex but a watch from a small Swiss boutique who made limited editions.
And it was watch enthusiasts who noticed the watch in possession of a random person and they couldn’t believe that such person could be in possession of such a rare watch.
They reached out to the watchmakers and after some research, found out there were only two watches of that design in the world and they were commissioned by the Saudi Government.
Highly embarrassing 😆😆😆 what idiots.
While we do want to know about Pakistan, going over all the details of the gifts received by different dignitaries of Pakistan is a bit too much. We usually want to know what are the implications of this scandal rather than all minute details of Pakistani politicians. I still think SVB meltdown and its broader impact on the world banking system is a more important topic.
Pakistani politicians are so so........ honest .🙄🙄 I do not know whether they serve the nation or themselves and family
I know & understand ‘Indian’ 🇮🇳enjoyment & pleasure 😂on Pakistan 🇵🇰 economic & political melt down! But as a oversea Pakistani I think the ‘Current situation’ is betterment for Pakistan 🇵🇰 in long term.
Some morons enjoy some don't care . Sg has covered Pakistan in his career so he is interested in Pakistan matter. And with this attitude of Pakistanis the situation is neither good in short or long term.
I think you got it wrong, we don't really enjoy the current situation in Pakistan, nor do we feel the current situation is as bad it is being portrayed, the Indian Punjab was the most prosperous state in India when Pakistan was doing good for itself under Musharraf, I believe what happens on the other side of the border has a similar effect on our side as well, I and I believe all Indians would like to see Pakistan prosper again so that all of us can have better standards of living, that being said we don't think IK is the best guy for the position of PM ,we have seen him lie again and again just so that he gets back into power no matter how much the commoner suffers.
We hope it brings real good for Pakistan and that includes some enlightenment for common Pakistanis. I am referring to the common public becoming much less religious and so more rational.
@@contactpjoshi123 The public is not religious but they have had enough of corrupt politicians plundering their hard earned tax money in numerous foreign trips and shopping sprees, the people have decided to step in and changed things themselves. Bilawal Bhutto the FM of Pakistan is right now traveling from place to place without much of an agenda. As long as he can squander as much as possible before the people intervene and bring a stop to his free expensive trips
Mr Gupta You should have covered the sly act of taking gifts & later returning by former President Pratibha Patil and a diamond studded watch presented by Sultan of Oman to a former president that was gifted to Lord Venkatesha of Tirupati by him! In India too we’ve had such people despite rules!
One of the many enjoyable aspects of Mr Gupta's vlogs are the references to songs and movies-- I'm really disappointed that there was no reference to the episode of the brilliant "Yes, Minister" series that is directly relevant here (Minister Jim Hacker's wife keeps an expensive vase received as a gift, first triggering a diplomatic row and then a political row) . I'd advise everyone to watch it
SG Mentions about 2 auctions that happened in the thereabouts of 2019....any earlier instances?
It was not PM Sharif's gov't decision but the Supreme court of Pakistan's decision to make Toshakhana list public.
4:25 "Stuff" hit the fan..haha.
Who remembers the rose water jar, 50 pound valuation and Mrs Hacker?
Lmaoo first thing I remembered when I saw this
I don't know 😕
Nope... Mind elaborating?
@@TheDonMan97 He's referencing a similar plot point from the cult British Classic - Yes Minister / Yes Prine Minister:)
All poor countries like our India, Pakistan Bangladesh, we have CHEAP politics. We like when other side is jailed, we love to call others corrupt. All powerful people in our countries are poor, but only those with real power avoid jail.
Question is:
1) Why such expensive gifts are given? Is it to get some favour?
2) How expensive gifts are given to the visiting dignitaries? Who pays for these gifts?
Shekhar ji - minor error in this CTC arnd 11 minutes . You mention 99million crores.
Regards
I knew you will choose this topic today 😂
What an inefficient police pakistan has. Can't make one arrest. Absolute comedy is going on. Police come to arrest IK, every other day, and make a mockery of itself. I guess we should send Indian police officers to train them how to handle these kinds of situations.
Yes, send them, crowd will beat their asses. You are an absolute joke filled with hate against Pak. Grow up
@@MuhammadUsman-hz5tr i know again you will not like a very fact based answer. But i will tell you anyway. After removal of article 370, almost 300+ leaders including Hurriyat were arrested and put under house arrest. All done within a day.
Indian bureaucrats are no less than Pakistani politicians when it comes to looting Toshakhana.
Salute to you Sir.
Imran khan is a very straightforward leader and very popular visionary Pakistani. Foreign machinations are on to pull him down.
He is not visionary. He is a psychotic narcissist hypocrite. Every word he says is a lie. He will die soon anyway. It was game over for him the day he spoilt sacredness of Medina. Wait and watch.
Shekhar the people of Pakistan are supporting Imran Khan because he has promised them Riyasat e Medina where they will lead pious lives and there place in heaven in afterlife is confirmed. They are not bothered by corruption as this life is transitory whereas Imran Khan will lead them to heaven in afterlife
Are you serious! Where do you get your news from. Your local pundit I am sure. You need to go out and read Imran Khans twitter, facebook and other news channels. If religion could get one supporters then Maulana Fazlu would be the top man but so sad for him, he did not even win a seat in parliament leave alone
fulfil his dream of becoming a president.
People of Pakistan have been suffering from the corruption of crooked politicians for more than 4 decades. They saw Imran Khan's honesty and dedication and now there are over 150 million people who want no other than him for president.
Imran Khan right now is a living legend in Pakistan and the losers who have ganged up against him have already filed over hundred cases agaisnt him but every one in Pakistan knows who are the real corrupt, traitorous, undemocratic vermins that have been preying on the Pakistani public for decades.
Facts are not correct
Before IK, estimation was done wrongly and 20% was given to govt.
IK started market value and increased to 50%
And he paid in time and used it for making a public road.
No body cares in Pakistan. Definitely no body cares in India bro.
Sir superb cartoon Sir
Thanks a lot for the daily News&views&Updates.analysis
It's great 👍 listening to
Who gave such expensive gifts to these beggers!!!
No wonder why Shekhar was curious for Glenfiddich Single Malt Whiskey🥃🥃🥃 😂😂😂😂
You need to do more research about IK. Toshakhana case against him is not that he took him without declaration them, actually it is about he has not declared in his assets submitted in Election Commission. Furthermore he has not been disqualified for five years. Even after disqualification from Ecp he contested election and won.
Sir a small misnomer @4.12 , 36 mil or 3.5 Cr. PNR not 36 Lac PNR
SVB meltdown, that needs to be top priority topic for CTC.
Wondering if it were such a compelling case to merit an episode...
What if 1000 gifts worth 5000 each is gifted.
Should not the price of Whiskey increase in the Toshakhana, given that it would become better with age?
Whiskey is aged in wooden barrels
World is no fool
They nos the rules bfore gifting
In IND they no that expensive gifts won't go to the dignitaries individualy
While in Pak they no that individual dignitaries will take home which indirectly is giving corruption
Pakistan ZindaBhag...😂😂😂
With this wealth who’s saying P’s economy is in dire straits? Also look at the expensive suits and heavy makeup worn by their anchors. Certainly they are well off.
SG never dissapoints
He disappoints by selectively hiding which doesn't suits him
@@akshytube agree
36 lakhs Pakistani is 12 lakhs Indian Rupee or even less & not 1.20 cr .
Pratibha madam gift no word here.
Apj kalam sir set an example how we shoukd be.
Sir i am not seen any video of u regarding the nonsense comment and meeting of RAga, where he is asking American to save decomcray …
Such a low from INC …
Since its creation Pakistan itself has been like a Toshakhana for the power groups...these guys
emulate their role models..mughals..who only knew one thing ..LUTOO !! However, they forgot it is their own country !!!!!😄😄
I thought India was the third strongest economic power in the Moghul times! Wasn't it the British who robbed India of most of its resources?
Besides Imran Khan is going to crush the political traditions that the departing British laid in Pakistan before they left.
can we file an RTI application to presidents office and seek details of all the gifts presented to president of India since independence or presidents office is not in the purview of RTI law ?
Sir.. Kudos to whoever has edited the video for putting that finger pointing image of Mr Khan at 5:53.. Even Imran would have found that funny, or i hope so...
Imran Khan Great Leader of Pakistan
when i see such news, one thing i understand with certainty is that Indian Democracy might be flawed, but it's better upheld that literally any other democracy in the world. I am unsure as to how a detailed and factual analysis of that would come about, but it still feels like our governments starting with the very first one have tried time and again to put in place restrictions and rules and regulations that enable this system to function un-corrupted. But since a lot of that is dependent on the people in those chairs and offices, we do see aggravations and cases. But it still makes me feel optimistic, that, if more people with their 'hearts in the right place' like Shekhar Ji says occupy those positions gradually our system will become more and more bulletproof and more resistant to internal decay.
Pakistan's govt is probably going through a face to face with that decay they set in motion all those decades ago. That is why everything is just crumbling down so fast around them. But i do hope they take corrective action. Because any economy, no matter how hostile they are to India, capsizing, is hardly a good thing.
Not only they are Hamam me sab Nange but farting 💨 in group🤧🤧
Leave the farting to Indians. No one can beat them ✨🏅
Speaking of India, I suspect that the customs appraiser doing the valuation of toshakhana gifts must be always under tremendous pressure from all the quarters for valuation of the gifts “suitably“.
About Pakistan I suspect that these expensive items are not gifts, but are actually purchases made out of illegal money stashed abroad. It is a cheaper way of openly enjoying the ill gotten wealth by paying 20% of the price.
I think this is exaggerated information, it is not the amount or gifts that presenter spoke about , may be relying on tertiary information is not good enough, it's a good idea to confirm først and source should be unbiased ad well . Much of the discussion on Imran is false or miscalculated.
If you want to know the costly watches available in the market please contact the first family of Tamil Nadu. Let us wait for 14th April when BJP will release some info.
@Shekhar Sir - I am sorry if this feedback sounds rude, my intention is to share an honest feedback about CTC episodes.
What's the point of this episode of CTC? There's no clutter in this matter and just sounds like a bunch of details are being narrated. There's an overdose of pakistan-centric news which are very tactical in nature without much analysis.
It would have been interesting to hear about SVB and the banking issue. The impact of SVB on Indias startup ecosystem, the meeting of Rajeev Chandreshekar with Indian startups.
Imran Khan is a very very popular leader in Pakistan and it is understandable that he is prominent in the local media. Infact he is everywhere. Men, Women, old and young all are on the IK bandwagon. But what surprises me is the huge amount of interest in Imran Khan in the Indian media (try 'Imran Khan in the Indian media' on youtube)
Why do the Indians even care for a politician in a neighboring country who is not even in the government!!!!
Big question here is
Why are the Indians so obsessed with a former President of a (supposedly) failed state?
Sorry but wrong facts, these were valued as per law and IK paid and bought these gifts then sold and used the money for social cause not on himself..
Dil behlane ko ghalib, ye khayal acha hai
It is not he dint declared but he is blamed that he dint declared for tax
It makes me a little proud even though all our Politicians are scammers and liars atleast they are not looting these kind of petty toshakhana. What a huge embarrassment it would be?
😂😂 Pakistani leader show off being highly religious by act like robber.😂😂
Why get in details in to this ? Not worth it Shekhar ji
We must do a similar check on Crony Congiiiiiiiis...
4:52 factually in correct , he bought the gifts and sold it later which is legal according to the law. The case made against him is that he did not declare it.
What happens to gifts given to Indian leaders? Do they take it or give it back to govt?
Those should be given to State or Central government. I think some later are auctioned.
BJP PM s are corruption free as they were bachelors like Vajpayee, Modi ....same as Dr. Abdul Kalam.
Why should they give it "back" to the government? What do you mean by "give back"? A gift is not meant to be returned or given to somebody else.
All said and done, these Pakistani politicians are obsessed with the Rolex
Rolex is most popular luxury watch brand, but they're not very exclusive(because they have some models starting at 8000CHF).
The crown of watch brands is hold by 3 brands which are commonly referred as "Holy Trinity", the brands are Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin, all are Swiss made and most exclusive. BTW there are brands who have even more expensive watches than these 3 but the old saying of "you cannot buy history" overrules here.
Depends on the Rolex you’re talking about. I would say they’re more exclusive today than they’ve been in the past. The retail price is misleading because unless you’re a VIP or have an established relationship with a dealer, they will not sell you any of the in demand models for retail.
@@lecorsaire2283 not the case in India(where this video is from), every Rolex dealer have those starting range models(AIR-KING/MILGAUSS/OYSTER PERPETUAL...) in stock and they would offer some discounts too(not much but around 10%), same goes with their higher models.
But in case of any brand from Holy Trinity even the used watches would be sold on a premium and new one are rare finds always having 30% or more premium.
Did they get a gift or burgled it from those countries. Thoshakhana or chor bazar
@shekharGupta - Please also comment on an ex-president of India under UPA who took all gifts home after the tenure..
EXPENSIVE GIFTS RECEIVED BY AN OFFICIAL HAS SO MANY PERILS OF CORRUPTION.
SG, a suggestion - use one unit of currency throughout the video. Preferably convert all the amounts into INR as most of your viewers are Indian. And million is a term not used in India. We understand lakhs and crores. #cuttheclutter
Learn to use terms that are recognized internationally. A million is 1,000,000
@@EngleHump don't tell me what to learn. This is an Indian UA-cam channel by an Indian news organization.
The anchor keeps jumping from currency to currency and rattling out numbers at a pace which is difficult to comprehend in units that we are not used to; it is adding to the clutter. Any financial document uses only one currency throughout. And in India we use lakhs and crores as units, officially! My suggestion is not out of line.
@@tejraju The language is English and the audience is international.
@@EngleHump if the audience is international, why didn't he use USD? Why are every 9 out of 10 videos on India? Why are there videos on indian state politics? Why not state politics of USA, China, Russia or Zimbabwe? 1- 2% don't make the majority, nor do they make it international. The majority of viewers here are indians and indians living abroad.
And what has English got to do with anything? Finance minister gives budget in English, but in lakhs and crores. Every financial institution and company gives statements in english, but in lakhs and crores. Salaries come in lakhs and crores and so do your car and house loans. All business in india is conducted in lakhs and crores, including the print's!
Every country has their own methodology and we have survived just fine for 75 years talking in our own lakhs and crores. We don't need to appease our international masters; get rid of your colonial hangover. And my suggestion was directed at SG; why is it tickling your backside?
Pratibha patil literally took all with her i guess
this time army is left behind politician wins this race .how can they run a country when they are so greedy
Kya Khaibar Pakhtunkhwa k Jinda Bandey, na-Mard ho chuke hein? Khan Saaab k liye koi nahi? TTP walon kal tumhare bari.aajao Hathiyar le k.
And the common people of Pakistan keep on voting these people to power or 'support' the Army Generals, while more than 50% of them live in poverty, suffer from climate changes and floods and die from religious-tribal conflicts! Unique! Leave Pak to Pak. It is a failed state!
what is 22.500 cr? is it 22.5 cr?
We are not interested... & Why not call this as Go to Pakistan series....
Shekhar Ji. Disappointed at such issue being discussed and wastage of time.
Print is becoming likeTV channels
From what is explained Mr Imran Khan is in the wrong and liable to punishment as per his country's law. However he can get away, by blaming and bad mouthing India publicly in Pak. Politicians!
See Modi gets Cheetah and Hippos.
@Shekhar ji, Do you drink whiskey? If yes then would you like one Single malt from Scotland?
Pretty needless episode IMHO
SG tell to the Indian Audience who gifted those expensive Jewellery to Late. Sushma Swaraj as well.
Sabb chor ended in Pakistan.
Mbs ordered two Rolex watches and one he gifted to Imran so he is the one who bought it back from Dubai. After that he is nomore friendly with Pakistan.
Glendfidich 12 years i drink everyday. Its just like 3500-4400 inr per 750ml.
Meri ghadi meri marzi, 😁😁😁😁😁, I think that's how he justified it.
Precedence
Silapathikaram
Is it just me who is wondering who gifted Imran khan so many watches and gifts... i mean, pakistan has no value as a nation other than its geography.
Why this is even a surprise or a story?
Please stop saying Toyota Lexus.. Do you ever say Volkswagen AUDI?
Not now
But in time
Why to lie
Where do you get your facts???
