00:00How many states can I name where the people of this country cannot buy land?
00:10But I don't know what is the fault of the people of Jammu and Kashmir
00:16that they were allowed to come here and buy land.
00:22What was snatched from us on 5th August 2019
00:26was not in any other country's constitution.
00:31It was in this country's constitution.
00:35Our pride, our identity, our identity, our future.
00:44This fight is for it.

01:48Our pride, our identity, our future.
01:53These people of Delhi did not leave any space
01:57to weaken us and divide us.
02:01If only we had the intelligence now
02:06to work together.
02:10If only we had this intelligence earlier,
02:14perhaps this situation would not have come.
02:17The centre has repeatedly tried
02:22to weaken our voice here.
02:26And the result of that weak voice is in front of you today.
02:31We were divided
02:34and their conspiracy was fulfilled.
02:38Our voice became weak
02:41and they erased our identity.
02:44Even today,
02:46those people
02:49who say in Delhi
02:51that we did all this with Jammu and Kashmir on 5th August,
02:56to unite this state
02:59with this country,
03:02they still disagree with us.
03:07Otherwise, tell me,
03:09the laws of the land
03:13that were made here,
03:16there are stronger laws in other states.
03:20Even today, the people of this country
03:24cannot buy land in Himachal Pradesh with freedom.
03:30Lakshadweep, Andaman, Nicobar,
03:34Nagaland, Meghalaya, Sikkim,
03:37no matter how many states I name,
03:41the people of this country cannot buy land.
03:47But I don't know what is the fault of the people of Jammu and Kashmir
03:53that they were allowed to come here and buy land.
03:59And when we raise our voice against this,
04:03we are told
04:05that we are anti-national,
04:09that we are speaking against the country.
04:13But what we are talking about
04:16was recorded in the constitution of this country.
04:20What was snatched from us on 5th August, 2019,
04:25was not recorded in any other country's constitution.
04:30It was recorded in this country's constitution.
