00:00We have been going through so much mental torture for the past three months

00:04just to get justice for our players.

00:07And this is a matter of respect for women players.

00:10If we are not safe in this country,

00:12then what can we think about the future of other girls?

00:20Neither the people of the committee are giving us any answer,

00:23nor have we got any answer from the sports ministry.

00:30We have been waiting for more than two and a half months.

00:44We were sure that the government would support us.

01:00We have been waiting for more than two and a half months.

01:15The accusations that have been made are completely baseless.

01:17Two days ago, we filed a complaint at the CP police station.

01:30It's been two days and the FIR has not been registered yet.

01:34Seven of our girls have filed a complaint.

01:36One of the girls is a minor.

01:38The case is a POCSO case,

01:40but no hearing has been made yet,

01:42nor has the FIR been registered.

01:44I just want to say that the FIR should be registered as soon as possible,

01:49and the accused should be given a genuine punishment.

01:52We have come back exhausted,

01:54because after two and a half months,

01:57everyone has started thinking that we were lying,

02:00that our complaints were false,

02:02which we could not tolerate,

02:04because we have always lived with the truth,

02:07we have always fought with the truth.

02:09The police station is running everything,

02:12their office is open,

02:14so where are the players going?

02:16Our life, our game, our family,

02:19everything is at stake here.

02:21What do you think?

02:22We have been going through so much mental torture for three months,

02:25just to get justice for our players.

02:28And this is a matter of respect for women players.

02:31Our girls win medals at the international level in the Olympics.

02:34If we are not safe in this country,

02:37then what can we think about the future of other girls?

02:41How strong are the people against whom we are fighting?

02:44We don't know who is supporting them to save them,

02:47who is not.

02:48We have been trying to contact them for three months.

02:51Neither the committee people are answering us,

02:54nor have we received any answer from the sports ministry.

02:56Our phones are not even picked up.

02:58Did you ask for time today to meet or before coming?

03:01Madam, it's been three months.

03:03How long did we call and ask for time?

03:06All the people in the committee were involved in politics.

03:12The paper was going on.

03:14I don't know if I can tell you everything,

03:18but justice has not been served yet.

03:20They are saying that we didn't say anything,

03:23or didn't give any evidence.

03:25I asked Bharat Bhushan to give evidence,

03:28but he didn't do anything.

03:29They should be made to undergo a narco test.

03:31Why should we be made to undergo a test?

03:33They should be made to undergo a test.

03:35If we are lying, then we are ready to face any punishment.

03:40But they should be made to undergo a test.

03:42It's not like we won't get justice if they are powerful.
