00:00If my daughter had to stay in jail for a long time and one day she couldn't see me,
00:07I wouldn't be able to see her at a growing age.
00:11I don't know how many more days I will have to stay in jail and how many more days I will be alive.
00:29There is a balance.
00:31Sometimes I feel a little anxious.
00:34If my daughter had to stay in jail for a long time and one day she couldn't see me,
00:41I wouldn't be able to see her at a growing age.
00:44I don't think about it.
00:47She shouldn't have to come.
00:49But there is no happiness.
00:53We suppress our sadness by saying something.
01:10I haven't seen her taking part in any objectionable activities.
01:16To just confront the policy and the actions of the government is not a big deal.
01:22The court will also say, yes, it is your fundamental right.
01:26She has many things at stake.
01:29So, there will be a loss.
01:33Being brave is a different thing.
01:37She has to get admission, she has to move forward in her research project.
01:42Everything has worked out.
01:44She will do it, if she comes.
01:46I understand her.
02:02I have spoken to her.
02:04I think it is a beautiful ideology.
02:07I like it a lot.
02:08I support her.
02:10I never had any objection or comment on that.
02:15Because they were just doing very normal things about their rights.
02:20They were speaking so nice.
02:22It was something like a bunch of flowers they were showing to the people.
02:39All the charges are the same.
02:41Arson, rooting, rioting, murder, violence, arson, everything is the same.
02:51When we asked for a bail, the court asked for evidence.
02:57Show us if there is any evidence in these charges.
03:00There was no evidence.
03:01The police had it.
03:02We got a bail.
03:03But in the UAPA, the court cannot ask for evidence.
03:07So, there was no bail.
03:09That is the only difference.
03:11That is why it is different.
03:12That is why it seems a little unjust.
03:14What kind of law is this, in which you are not given evidence and you are put behind bars?
03:18So, where there is suffering, there my daughter is found.
03:40And that is why I am really proud of her.
03:58Really proud.
