00:00Jai Hind! Jai Hind!

00:05I haven't slept the whole night, thinking about what is happening.

00:11There's no place for that kind of violence in our country.

00:13For me, at a personal level, it's very heart-breaking.

00:15The government is a false government, from top to bottom.

00:30Jai Hind! Jai Hind!

00:46Jai Hind! Jai Hind!

01:00Jai Hind! Jai Hind!

01:10It was quite sad, quite shocking what I saw.

01:15It was very disturbing.

01:18I haven't slept the whole night, thinking about what is happening.

01:24So, it has to be condemned. There's no place for violence.

01:28And all those who did this, they should be punished. Absolutely.

01:34There's no place for that kind of violence in our country.

01:37The perpetrators have to be brought to task. Definitely.

01:59Jai Hind! Jai Hind!

02:07Yes, what happened last night in JNU, for me at a personal level, it's heart-breaking.

02:13Because I was brought up in JNU.

02:15My father was a founding professor in JNU.

02:18So, yesterday when I was watching on the news,

02:21how 50-60 goons are beating up students with sticks,

02:26how they are beating up students,

02:28I feel very bad.

02:30That such a thing can happen in our country.

02:33Students can be attacked in this way.

02:35For me, at a personal level, it was very heart-breaking.

02:38They didn't get arrested because the government doesn't want to arrest them.

02:41They are the people of the government.

02:43It's a very simple thing that the government's agenda is very clear.

02:48They have a different rule in AMU.

02:52There's a different rule in Jamia.

02:53It's different in JNU.

02:54There, the police enter and beat them up.

02:56Here, the police stand outside.

02:57The government lies when it speaks.

02:59They are not allowed in the camp.

03:01They didn't go because they don't have permission.

03:03So, how did they enter Jamia?

03:05You should ask them all these questions.

03:07Have you ever seen the people rioting?

03:09Never.

03:10The people never riot.

03:11Only the people who make people riot are called separately.

03:14And either they are political or social people.

03:16I have never seen two people fighting for no reason.

03:20You can wear a mask on your face.

03:23You can wear a mask on your face and do whatever you want.

03:25It's not like that.

03:26You can say that it's a conspiracy.

03:28It's not a conspiracy.

03:29The government is a government of lies.

03:32It's a lie from top to bottom.

03:34The government is a government of lies.

03:36It's a lie from top to bottom.

03:37And if you want to know when the government is lying,

03:39it lies when it speaks.

03:41Yes, exactly.

03:42It lies when it speaks.
