00:00I think they have taken revenge from us.

00:03Is it the state of the Muslim Mujahideen?

00:05They want to take revenge.

00:06The riots in Jammu and Kashmir are happening as a Union Territory.

00:11Are you sad about this?

00:15I am very sad.

00:17I have been sad since 5th August.

00:20When they snatched everything from us.

00:23They tried to destroy our identity.

00:27I have never seen that a state has been made a Union Territory.

00:37I have seen that the Union Territory has become a state.

00:43Look at Jharkhand.

00:45It has become a state.

00:48Look everywhere.

00:51I think they have taken revenge from us.

00:54Is it the state of the Muslim Mujahideen?

00:56They want to take revenge.

00:59I have seen their attitude in Gujarat.

01:04They have killed more than 3000 Muslims.

01:11I have seen the condition of UP.

01:13How they have bulldozed the houses of Muslims.

01:18Schools and Mosques.

01:21We ask Allah to save us from this.

01:28You said in your last speech that Article 370, Article 35,

01:34the special provisions given by the Constitution of India,

01:37can take 100 years.

01:41Look, I am surprised.

01:45Wasn't the reservation of Scheduled Castes for 25 years?

01:50It is still going on.

01:51It will go on.

01:54What was their need?

01:57Because from the beginning,

01:59since we got this article,

02:02the attitude of the Sangh was that this should not happen.

02:09They didn't know that it was necessary for this state.

02:13For this state, Maharaja Hari Singh,

02:16in 1927, when India and Pakistan were not there,

02:20out of fear that this state is a poor state,

02:24and Punjab is rich, educated,

02:27we didn't have educated people,

02:30that they will take our land,

02:32take our jobs.

02:34So, for that protection, they brought the law

02:37that Dogra will be abolished.

02:40It will be abolished.

02:42They continued that in 1937.

02:47Doctor, when Article 370 was abrogated,

02:51you met the Prime Minister two days before that.

02:55When you came back, when Article 370 was abrogated,

02:59and you were watching the live broadcast,

03:02what was your reaction?

03:04Were you in a shock?

03:06There was no shock.

03:08I was just shaken up that when we met the Prime Minister,

03:11there was nothing like this.

03:13He didn't say anything.
