00:00We don't believe they are Muslims, they are terrorists.
00:02Let them not do it in the name of my religion.
00:04Let them not do it in the name of my Kashmir.
00:06They can go to hell.
00:08We have nothing to do with it.
00:12It's been one of the most devastating days
00:15where you see that we Kashmiris,
00:18we have a history of hospitality.
00:20Even people who don't like us or are critical of us
00:22would always agree that we're very hospitable
00:25in our hearts out to our guests.
00:27And that identity has been shattered by these terrorists
00:32and with whom we have nothing in common.
00:35Have they ever spared Muslims?
00:38Did they spare my father?
00:40Did they spare thousands of Muslims that they killed in Kashmir?
00:43We have to, in this moment of anger, understand
00:45that these are terrorists.
00:48And terrorists have no religion.
00:50They want to destroy Kashmiris' economy.
00:52A disempowered Kashmiri is a ready-made material
00:55for all your criminal activities that you want to do.
00:58Do you know these Kashmiris, they've been,
01:01we all have dreams.
01:03And all their dreams have been shattered by these people.
01:06It's killing, it's carnage.
01:08If you look at the pattern of violence today,
01:11these people, these criminals, these terrorists,
01:13they live in the forests.
01:15They are, gone are those days
01:16when you would see an armed man, a terrorist,
01:20in the heart of the locality.
01:23These are as alien to you as they are to me,
01:25as they are to every Kashmiri.
01:27We don't know them.
01:29We absolutely don't know them.
01:31And we don't want them
01:32to smear our land.
01:34The moment the Kashmiri wants to dream
01:36of economic dignity,
01:38here come these villains
01:39and they destroy it all.
01:41Do you think there will be any soul
01:42who will be happy for this?
01:44They are the biggest enemies for us.
01:47They are after our economic dignity,
01:49after our political dignity,
01:51after our social dignity.
01:52They want to destroy it all.
01:53A husband has been killed.
01:55Somebody's son has been killed.
01:56How can we endorse
01:58that somebody's husband has been killed?
02:00We go abroad.
02:01What if it happens to us?
02:03That young child with tears in his eyes
02:05brought tears in my eyes
02:07which could have been my son.
02:08How can we endorse it?
02:09That helplessness on his face,
02:11on the wife's face.
02:14No way.
02:15There are no...
02:16These are beasts.
