00:00It is a shame on such a party.
00:04There should be no politics on this issue.
00:30I would like to inform all the citizens of the state.
00:58The Supreme Court rejected the review petition in July 2018.
01:06Why did the Prisons Department, which comes under your government, not wake up until Nirbhaya's mother started a nationwide riot?
01:31Why was Nirbhaya and her mother deprived of justice?
01:38Why did the lawyers of the AAP say that there will be a delay in hanging the rapist?
01:51Nirbhaya has been hanged for a few days.
01:57All the citizens of the state are saddened by this.
02:02We all want Nirbhaya to be hanged as soon as possible.
02:11I am also saddened that there is politics on such a sensitive issue.
02:21What is the reason that the juvenile who was accused of raping Nirbhaya,
02:34presented to the nation through the evidence that he was involved in this entire incident.
02:48You gave him Rs. 10,000 during his release and gave him a sewing kit.
03:03I heard Smriti Irani's statement today.
03:06She said that there was a delay because of the AAP.
03:11I would like to ask her.
03:13Will Nirbhaya's criminals be hanged by abusing the AAP in this way?
03:22They kept abusing the AAP, we will keep abusing the BJP.
03:27This is not going to change anything.
03:29At this time, the demand of time is that all of us together,
03:34the central government, the Delhi government,
03:36ensure that their criminals are hanged as soon as possible.
03:43Today, expressing my gratitude to the President,
03:48as a female activist,
03:52I can only say this to Nirbhaya's mother,
03:56that I pay my respects to your struggle.
04:00I would like to tell the AAP,
04:04that after the rejection of the July 2018 review petition,
04:09Nirbhaya's rapists were not hanged due to you.
04:18It is not only my opinion that such a party has a right,
04:25but it is the opinion of every just and loving Indian.
04:28Abusing each other in this way is not going to change anything.
04:34Secondly, all of us should work together
04:40to implement such a system in the future,
04:44to implement such a system in the country,
04:46to remove all the shortcomings in this system,
04:51to implement such a system in the future,
04:58that if someone does this to our sisters and daughters,
05:03they should be hanged within six months.
