00:00Hello, Mr. PM. Maybe you know or you don't know, I am Anu Dubey and I am the one who created a bit of a scene that day, I can say, but according to the people.
00:19I think it was a very simple and normal protest in which I just wanted to ask a question to the government, to my politicians, that why can't I feel safe in this country?
00:38There are a lot of rape cases, but I feel that our people, our public has become deaf. I mean, they have become used to all these things. People don't care.
00:53And I think I was also one of them, that yes, rape cases are coming every day, this is happening every day.
00:59But a while ago, I had an incident with my own sister.
01:07See, what happened in that was that my sister was coming to me, at that time my father's posting was in Rajasthan.
01:17So she was coming from a place, from Cochin in the evening.
01:21So suddenly what happened, she called me, that sister Anu, you stay on the phone, because I am a little scared.
01:29And this place is very secluded, closed, quiet and I don't see many people here.
01:35It was only 7 in the evening.
01:37Suddenly what happened was that four boys were lying behind her on the cycle, two boys from here, two boys from there.
01:44She ran, ran, ran, even called him. I didn't take it so seriously, I thought she was scared for no reason.
01:51But she ran, ran, ran, then she went into some garbage, garbage bin, I mean, the garbage is very dirty, dirty.
02:01She went inside it, hid inside it, she waited for an hour, when she saw a girl, then she ran.
02:09That day, we three sisters, we three sisters cried a lot, we were very scared, very scared.
02:18And that thing was over that day.
02:23I mean, for a few days we were very scared that we will go like this, we will not leave at that time, we will not leave in the evening.
02:32I mean, why?
02:35You are not doing anything wrong, you are just coming from your coaching class.
02:40If you are in 11th class, 12th class, you want to get good marks in your board, then you have to take coaching of 2-3 classes in a row.
02:50So why are we thinking that we will not go for that?
02:54Why do I have to raise this question from the government?
02:58And as far as why I left for the protest that day, because that day I remembered the same thing,
03:04that yesterday, who knows, who knows, I had a question inside me,
03:08that who knows, if my sister would have been in place of that girl, and she would have been in that situation,
03:16then would I have been sitting quietly and listening like this?
03:20No.
03:22I was waiting for this thing for two days, that I wish this thing does not go in the news like other things go in the news.
03:31This Kathua case went, Unao case went, a lot of cases go, this thing should not go like that.
03:37Someone should come, on 27th, someone should come.
03:41I waited for two days, for two days I did not sleep for 48 hours, I waited for two days, no one came.
03:47This case was also going to be heard in the same way, so I went ahead and raised my voice,
03:52that if no one will come, then someone will have to come out of the crowd.
03:56I came, I came to talk to the person in front of me, that someone will hear my voice.
04:04And when I sat there, I did not do anything at all, I just sat with a board, that why can't I feel safe?
04:14After that, the police came, as you know.
04:19The police came, the police forcibly picked me up from there and took me away.
04:25Look, yes, I would like to tell you one thing, it is the job of the police that they pick me up from there and take me away, it is very good.
04:31But there was a communication gap there.
04:34The communication gap was that she was telling me that you will not protest here.
04:39My only question was that why will I not protest?
04:43You will not do it here, you cannot do it here, you will not let me do it.
04:47And they did not tell me that if not from here, then you go somewhere else or go there.
04:52No, they forcibly picked me up.
04:55The first thing was the communication gap and after that, when they took me inside,
05:00they kept me in the duty room for a while and then took me to the I.O.K. room.
05:04I would like to ask you one more thing.
05:07Look, it is very common that if you do something alone, you get scared.
05:13I was scared, I was crying there.
05:16Yes, I was scared.
05:18They asked me for my I.D. card.
05:20They took a photo of my voter I.D. card here.
05:23They went inside and asked me for my I.D. card.
05:26I said I will not give you anything inside.
05:28Whatever I will give, I will give outside because there are people outside.
05:31Where will my I.D. card go?
05:33I do not have faith.
05:35I do not have faith in the police.
05:38For this, three lady constables climbed on me, beat me, my bag was snatched from me.
05:45Apart from that, after this, when I was not able to breathe,
05:50after this, I was given food, etc.
05:52The police threatened me and asked,
05:54what do we know, you are not a terrorist, you are a terrorist.
05:57If a common man, to raise his voice, if he sits in front of the parliament,
06:03is he a terrorist?
06:04Is it the job of the police to ask if he is a terrorist?
06:07If I am a terrorist, will I sit in front of the parliament?
06:10Will I say, no, give me justice, I am a terrorist?
06:13After this, the police forcefully, not once, but twice,
06:19forcibly snatched my phone.
06:21My sister was called.
06:23She was threatened.
06:24My sister was worried.
06:26My entire family was worried.
06:28And that day, I was not allowed to protest.
06:32This was not even discussed.
06:34It was a very simple thing.
06:36I wanted to ask the government,
06:38am I not safe?
06:40And for that, when you ask, the police treat you in such a way,
06:44your protectors treat you in such a way.
06:47I would like to ask you,
06:49can a normal person not get a chance to say what is in his heart?
06:55This is what the police say.
06:57My main protest, for which I am standing in front,
07:01for that, I would like to say,
07:03let's leave such big ears.
07:08And let's talk about small cases,
07:10from which you know,
07:12an 8-year-old girl was raped.
07:14In a school, a girl's gang was raped.
07:17In Haryana, the four children were sent,
07:20they were shifted, transferred.
07:22And that girl,
07:24she was aborted.
07:26She was aborted.
07:28Why are they trying to suppress these things?
07:30Why are these things looking so simple, so normal?
07:34That day, the day I came to protest,
07:37that day, a girl was raped.
07:39Why are people not afraid?
07:43I have a very normal request to you,
07:47with folded hands.
07:49I have some demands from the government,
07:51because I live in a democratic country,
07:53in which every person has the right
07:56to convey his message to the Prime Minister.
08:00I am very lucky for this,
08:02that my country is like this,
08:04and I would like to convey my message.
08:06I would like to make some demands.
08:07My first demand is that,
08:09the Nirbhaya case, which has been going on for 7 years,
08:12started on 16th December.
08:14On this same 16th December,
08:16all four rapists were hanged.
08:18On this same 16th December.
08:21On this same 16th December.
08:23The day it was over, it should be over.
08:26My second demand is that,
08:28if a person is a proved rapist,
08:31and the entire public knows that he is a rapist,
08:34that is, in the Nirbhaya case,
08:36we knew that he was a rapist.
08:38In the ****** case,
08:40out of 100 cases,
08:4280% of the cases,
08:44we know that this person is a particular rapist.
08:46He has raped.
08:48Why are legal rights given to him?
08:51Why?
08:52When he was killing that person,
08:54when he was killing that person,
08:55when he was burning that person,
08:56when he was strangling that person,
08:57when he was strangling that person,
08:58when he did not feel pity for that person,
09:00then what kind of mercy petition does the government give him?
09:02What kind of legal rights does the government give him?
09:04If a person rapes,
09:06and if he is a proved rapist,
09:08then he should be punished on the spot.
09:10He should be hanged on the spot.
09:12In public.
09:14People will be scared.
09:16Rape cases will be reduced.
09:20Third, I request that
09:22in every school,
09:24in every school and college,
09:26self-defense training should be given.
09:28No girl, any girl,
09:30does not get self-defense training.
09:32Nor are they sent out
09:34for self-defense training.
09:36So, in self-defense training,
09:38all of us,
09:40even I do not know self-defense training.
09:42We, every girl,
09:44should get self-defense training.
09:46So that if they go,
09:48if something happens to them,
09:50they can protect themselves.
09:54That's all I want to say to you.
09:56And I feel that
09:58I have faith in my government.
10:00I have faith in my government.
10:02In a day,
10:04the government has changed, which no one can imagine.
10:06In a day,
10:08the currency of the country has changed,
10:10which no one can imagine.
10:12So, I think
10:14this is my biggest request to you.
10:18And you always keep your blessings
10:20on all of us.
10:22I have faith
10:24that you will help me.
10:26Thank you so much.
