00:00If anybody destroys the public property, including railway, I direct, as a minister, shoot them at sight.

00:30My 13 lakh employees are working day and night for railways, for development, for cleanliness,

00:42for punctuality, everything.

00:45Some anti-social elements, supported by the opposition, they are creating problem in the

00:50country and this citizen amendment bill is not going to harm any citizens.

00:59Those who are minorities in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, for them we have given the

01:16economy and supported by the opposition party like Congress.

01:21So I condemn this.

01:23I strictly warn the concerned district administrations and our railway authorities, if anybody destroys
