00:00No one knows who is leading this.

00:04Whoever came to the stage,

00:06the one who was made a leader by the media,

00:09he became the leader.

00:11But another phase of this came

00:14when the students were stabbed on 25th.

00:19When they were stabbed,

00:21then it was not just a matter of unlawfulness of BPSC,

00:25it was also a matter of killing democracy.

00:28It was also a matter of injustice to the youth of Bihar.

00:32After that incident on 25th,

00:34some people like us got involved.

00:37Then the third phase of this came

00:40when on 29th,

00:42a large number of students

00:44were present here in Gandhi Maidan,

00:46in front of the Gandhi statue,

00:48in the student assembly.

00:50All the children gathered.

00:52Everyone had only one demand.

00:55On that day,

00:57we took the march today,

00:59met with the Chief Minister

01:01and requested him

01:03to cancel this exam

01:05because of the unlawfulness

01:07of BPSC

01:09and to get it re-examined.

01:12Before the students left,

01:14they made a team of their own

01:16which was elected

01:18almost unanimously

01:20by the students

01:22who will lead the students.

01:26It was also decided that

01:28after leaving Gandhi Maidan,

01:30no kind of violence

01:32or any such illegal act

01:34will be done

01:36which will affect

01:38the future of the students.

01:40As you all saw,

01:42all the students,

01:44about 15,000 people

01:46walked from here

01:48and in a peaceful manner,

01:50where the police stopped,

01:52all the students sat

01:54next to J.P. Golembar.

01:56In that sit-out protest

01:58of about an hour and a half,

02:00the administration from the front

02:02and a large group of students

02:04from one side.

02:12In that conversation,

02:14the government proposed

02:16that if the sit-out is removed,

02:18the students will meet

02:20the top officials

02:22of the government,

02:24the Chief Secretary,

02:26and together

02:28will try to find

02:30a solution to this issue.

02:32In that crowd,

02:34there were all kinds of people,

02:36all kinds of students,

02:38all kinds of intellectuals.

02:40When this was discussed,

02:42I was at the forefront.

02:44We all agreed

02:46that if the government

02:48is ready to talk,

02:50the students do not want

02:52to march,

02:54the students do not want

02:56to fight,

02:58the students only wanted

03:00the BPSC exams to be re-examined.

03:02That is why,

03:04from there,

03:06from the protest,

03:08we accepted that Gandhi

03:10will return to the field.

03:12But because there was no

03:14microphone,

03:16a small microphone was used

03:18to announce it,

03:20so many students who were behind

03:22did not know what to do.

03:24In that crowd,

03:26some people

03:28went home,

03:30some people came with us,

03:32with some friends,

03:34to Gandhi Murti,

03:36but a large number of students

03:38remained seated there.

03:40And after I left there,

03:42those students were

03:44first drenched

03:46in cold water

03:48and then

03:50beaten

03:52with a stick.

03:54Because

03:56I was also a part of it,

03:58on my saying,

04:00to some extent,

04:02the students came on my saying

04:04that as long as I am standing,

04:06the stick will not work on you,

04:08but after I left,

04:10its moral,

04:12ethical responsibility was mine.

04:14That is why I,

04:16although the next day,

04:18I spoke to the Chief Secretary,

04:20but when the Chief Secretary

04:22did not take any decision,

04:24I understood my moral obligation

04:26that on my saying,

04:28the students gathered

04:30and in my absence,

04:32the students were beaten.

04:34Now it is my responsibility

04:36to put my life at risk,

04:38so that the students

04:40have faith again,

04:42and the students do not get scared,

04:44and do not consider themselves

04:46alone in their struggle.

04:50Today is the most important

04:52day of this entire campaign.

04:54Why is it an important day?

04:56Because today,

04:58after 19 days,
