00:00See, we have three members of parliament who came in the morning.
00:06Now one more member of parliament is here.
00:09We wanted to meet the DM because of the atrocities committed on workers in this area.
00:17And our comrades have been arrested and they were put in jail.
00:21So this we wanted to discuss with the DM.
00:24So when we reached the border, a group of police officers came and stopped us there
00:32and told us that you cannot go forward, you cannot meet the DM, you have to go back.
00:38And we said, parliament members and, you know, Politburo member, Arun Kumar, myself, we were there.
00:45We said, okay, in that case, we went and sat in the pavement, roadside, without obstructing the traffic.
00:53Then assistant commissioner of police talked to some people, came and told us,
00:59yeah, DM and commissioner will meet you, please, you will go.
01:05So we believed that.
01:07So they escorted us.
01:08But we were taken to a police, you know, camp and we were seated there.
01:14After having spent half an hour, we asked, where is the DM, where is the commissioner?
01:19Then no.
01:20Then one of our parliament members contacted DM.
01:24She said, he is Ms. Mehta.
01:27She said, you come to the collectorate office, DM's office.
01:31We went there, waited.
01:32We didn't turn up.
01:34After half an hour, she told the Rajasaba member, come to the camp office.
01:39In the camp office, we were waiting, waiting and waiting.
01:43She did not come.
01:44Then we decided that we will come and sit outside.
01:47Then she comes.
01:49So finally, some comrades who have been arrested from amongst us, they have been brought.
01:55They have come here.
01:56So now we will go inside and wait for the commission, the commission to come some more time.
02:02So we want an inquiry to be conducted on women workers were manhandled by men policemen.
02:10There has to be an inquiry.
02:12Workers' demand should be accepted for wage increase.
02:16Those who have been put in jail, they should be released.
02:19These are our demands.
