00:00Azam Asood was like a, you know, Peer Sahib, who was the other terrorists or prison staff,
00:07he took it from him to him.
00:10I saw him and said, his head has to hold his head.
00:15What did he do with the monkey cap?
00:17So, he sees me like this, he sees me like this.
00:21He sees me like this, he sees me like this, he sees me like this.
00:30When I got the advice that there was a special plane coming from Delhi,
00:34I was coming from Delhi to Delhi, so I took him to court barwal jail.
00:42So, when I went to court barwal jail, I told the superintendent, who was in prison,
00:48I said, these are the orders of the government, you bring him.
00:51So, prison, if you've ever gone, you don't want to go to hell,
00:57there are two strong gates,
01:03which are inside and outside.
01:08Those two strong doors, high security,
01:14under them, there is a stair, there are offices.
01:22So, I was waiting in the room of the superintendent,
01:26till when he was brought.
01:28He took him inside the jail.
01:30He took him inside the jail.
01:32This was his big presence.
01:34Salahuddin was like a grandpa.
01:38He was giving people to the people that he did.
01:43Azhar Masood or Salahuddin?
01:45Sorry Azhar Masood.
01:47Azhar Masood was
01:49like a
01:51you know, Peer Sahib
01:53would give people
01:55and many
01:57other terrorists
01:59or prison staff
02:01would give them
02:03to him.
02:05He was a
02:07cleric.
02:09He was brought.
02:11He came down.
02:13He told me that he was brought.
02:15When I came down
02:17the chair was opened.
02:21It didn't have to be taken.
02:23It was taken to the picture.
02:25His hands were not
02:27broken.
02:29I saw
02:31and said
02:33the chair has to be taken.
02:35What did he do?
02:37What did he do?
02:39He saw me like that.
02:41He saw me like that.
02:43He saw me like that.
02:45And I have
02:47the language of police
02:49and
02:50I saw
02:51two or three
02:53PSOs
02:55with me.
02:57He told me
02:59that
03:01I was
03:03and
03:05that
03:06I
03:07didn't
03:08remember
03:09that
03:10the
03:11monkey
03:12was
03:13and
03:15the
03:16jipsy
03:17which
03:19was
03:20there was
03:22a lot of media.
03:24There was a lot of media outside.
03:26there was
03:28and
03:29and
03:30he stuck
03:31and
03:32he
03:34still
03:35an
03:36one
03:37and
03:38one
03:40used.
03:41There was a lot of media outside.
03:44outside, which was the outer gate of Codewell Jail. There was a lot of media. And probably
03:52the news was leaked that these three people will be released. And the media got to know
03:58that they had to go there. I was instructed that they didn't come out and they didn't
04:05know.
04:06So only Masood Azhar was in this jail?
04:08Masood Azhar was here. So Masood Azhar was there. And when I got out, there were so many
04:17media personnel with their vehicles.
04:20He didn't have any questions to you?
04:22No.
04:23Who is releasing?
04:24No.
04:25No.
04:26No.
04:27No.
04:28No.
04:29No.
04:30No.
04:31No.
04:32Yes.
04:33What will he say? He understood that probably news was out that he was going to leave and hijacking.
04:43He was a mysterious smile that ultimately you are leaving me.
04:49He knew that he would leave me.
04:51Yes, that was it.
04:52So I took him and maybe in the court of Valval jail, the technical airport in Jammu, that must be around 15-20 km.
05:02So I was doing live telecast on the whole way that he was taking it.
05:10You were in that vehicle?
05:11Yes, in that vehicle.
05:12And he didn't say anything during that drive?
05:14No.
05:15No.
05:16He didn't ask that he was taking it?
05:17No.
05:18And I wish that he wouldn't leave me alive.
05:23And I took him to the technical airport.
05:26And I handed it over to the senior functionary Delhi.
05:30And I took him to Delhi.
05:32And I told him to leave me.
05:34So I got rid of him.
05:38And after that, he gave me the other dirt.
05:40And he took him into the same situation.
05:41So he took him to the other side.
05:42He also took the rest of the two of us and then from Delhi, you know, we went with external affairs minister to Delhi.
05:56This was a moment that was very embarrassing for our country and I wish that was not happening.
06:08Because the plane went out of Amrshad once, that was, I think, very...
06:16Until your limits, your country's boundaries, you could always action on it.
06:26You could do it in any way.
06:28But once you went out of control, then acting there was not possible.
