00:00If they want to murder us, we are ready, my chest is ready, fire here, not into my back.
00:09For I stood for this nation, my son is in jail and I do not know how many more poor
00:18people will be in jail.
00:30I forced myself out to talk to you, to tell you, to tell you, to tell you, to tell you,
00:59to tell you that the Home Ministry is lying in the Parliament, that I am not house arrested,
01:07that I am sitting in the house inside of my own will, you think I will stay inside my
01:13house of my own will, while my state is being burnt, while my people are being executed
01:21in the jails, punished in their homes, this is not India that I believe in, my India is
01:31a democratic India, secular India for all, whatever your religion, whatever your region,
01:39soon as the gates will open, my people will be out, we will fight, we will go to the court,
01:45we are not gun runners, we are not grenade throwers, we are not stone throwers, we believe
01:54in peaceful resolution of things, if they want to murder us, we are ready, my chest
02:01is ready, fire here, not into my back, for I stood for this nation, my son is in jail
02:12and I do not know how many more poor people will be in jail, I think this is the price
02:19we will continue to pay, to make India democratic, to make India secular, that in such a Parliament
02:29our Home Minister is lying, this is what I hope.
02:34But why you didn't go to Parliament sir, it was an important, important issue.
02:39How could I go when my doors are locked? You want my security people to be dismissed?
02:44But few days back, you are not feeling well, that's the reason you cannot go.
02:48I am not well, I am not well even today.
02:50Means you are not expecting this kind of a decision?
02:53Nobody expected, you ask anybody.
