00:00Ashok sir, welcome to INS.
00:02Sir, first of all, would you like to know about Tiger Shroff,
00:06what did you say yesterday?
00:09How did you say this?
00:12I, on behalf of the Federation of Western India's employees,
00:18EFTDA, the Directors Association and IMPA, the producer's body,
00:21condemned this attack on one of the celebrities of our industry, Tiger Shroff.
00:28And I thank God that nothing fatal happened and we were safe.
00:34One really feels quite shocked and quite pain.
00:39And we all stand by Jack Shroff and the entire family in this hour of crisis.
00:45One can understand the trauma which Jack Shroff and the entire family must be undergoing now.
00:53They must have never expected that this will happen to their son.
00:59The entire atmosphere of insecurity, unsafe, has kept in the industry.
01:07It was the second attack on our industry in recent times,
01:11where earlier, some few months back,
01:14Rune Shetty's house was under attack.
01:18Bullets were fired on his house also.
01:22So, what I, what I very strongly feel that,
01:24and I appeal on behalf of the industry,
01:27to our Honourable Chief Minister,
01:29David Fandavisji,
01:31the Boombay Police,
01:33that something serious has to be done on this issue.
01:38because once the fear encircles our industry,
01:44it will become very difficult for us to slowly.
01:47In a broad daylight, somebody comes with firearms and shoots somebody and runs away.
01:54And that also just two minutes away from Jew police station.
01:58Raises a lot of alarm,
01:59raises a lot of questions.
02:01In the basic security agencies,
02:08the confidence with which they came and they shot and they went away.
02:12It, it's really, it's really fearful,
02:14it's really, you know, it's really,
02:18an issue which has to be raised and thoughtful.
02:24I, I, I very strongly feel that,
02:29somewhere, there is a lacuna,
02:31somewhere, there is a system failure,
02:34somewhere, it's a kind of a,
02:37it's kind of a lethargy,
02:40vis-a-vis, you know, attacks on the industry is concerned.
02:45It's really, it's really,
02:46very, it's really, very sad.
02:50It's really, very demeaning.
02:52It's really, very, you know,
02:54your confidence shatters
02:56when, when, when, when you see such visuals
02:58on, on television screens and on mobiles,
03:01when,
03:03you are, you are helpless.
03:04So, I don't want to feel helpless.
03:07I don't want the industry to feel,
03:09feel helpless.
03:10I want the government should come heavy
03:12on all these people, all these criminals
03:14who very openly accept,
03:17that we have done this.
03:18And, I'm sure,
03:20the present government will take it seriously
03:22and sort this out.
03:23So, industry,
03:24industry,
03:25industry,
03:25that's the same as taxpayers,
03:27industry,
03:28and Mumbai, financial capital,
03:30and all the actors
03:32are tax payers.
03:33You think that the government's
03:36responsibility
03:37of industry people
03:38may support
03:39and give them a protection
03:40so that, next time,
03:42it's not going to happen.
03:44Because we have seen 4 times, Baba Siddiqui was a politician,
03:49he was in the house of Salman Khan, then he was in the house of Chetty and now he was
03:53in the house of Tiger Shop.
03:54And one name is Lawrence Vishnoyi.
03:58Like Modi Ji has shut down Pakistan in terrorism, why is that not possible?
04:04I don't want to get into that area who has done it.
04:08That's for the investigating agencies, that's for the police, that's for the government of Harashtra,
04:13to find out the real reason, who are the people involved in this.
04:17That's not my work and it's not my expertise also.
04:21But as you rightly said, I personally feel that not only people from this industry,
04:26every common man should be protected.
04:31Every common man has a right to live.
04:33Every common man has a right to be protected with full dignity.
04:37So I personally feel that there has to be some seriousness on such issues.
04:43I feel very strongly that when incidences will keep on happening like this,
04:48and things will go out of your control,
04:51then it will be very difficult for the government and the security agencies to,
04:55investing in agencies like police, to gain control again.
04:58Because the entire psychology of fear has to be recalculated on all those people who are responsible for this.
05:06And not otherwise, not that we as common people should be fearful.
05:10It's those people, those criminals should be fearful,
05:13who very openly come out and, you know, fire at innocent people like this.
05:18Sir, do you feel that there has to be fired at some people?
05:22Do you feel that there has to be fired at some people?
05:24Do you feel that there has to be fired at some people,
05:37especially the government?
05:40The industry.
05:41It was a common man because firing on anybody from any industry creates a kind of panic.
05:47It creates a kind of fear and causes on everybody, every common man.
05:51It's not that it's industry related.
05:53It's related to a very common man who feels insecure.
05:56Because when he was shot, there were lots of common people around.
06:01They have seen, they were eye witnesses when it happened in front of them.
06:05So that that entire image, that entire visual when it happens in front of you,
06:08remains in your mind for a lot of time.
06:11So when we saw this also as citizens, when we saw this on screen,
06:15it creates a fear psychosis, it creates fear that are we safe?
06:20Tomorrow today's happened to him, tomorrow it can happen to us,
06:22it can happen to anyone for that matter.
06:24So it's very important for the government of Maharashtra to come very heavy
06:28and our Honorable CM Patnaviji has given a statement,
06:32he has instructed the police to go heavy on it.
06:34And I'm sure with the power the government has, the system has, the police has,
06:39they will laugh the culprits and we'll see to it that they will not allow these things to continue.
06:44Sir, do you think you should also write a letter on this thing?
06:49No, see, there's nothing to write in the letter.
06:52I've written it before.
06:53I've written it before.
06:54I don't need to tell you, it's a serious matter.
06:58The government knows about it, the police knows about it.
07:00It's through you, through you, through media,
07:03we have communicated to the government of Maharashtra,
07:06we have communicated to the Chief Minister,
07:10that we are really concerned and we are really perplexed,
07:14and we are really shocked with this kind of incident.
07:16It's happening again again.
07:17when I work on the line and I'm sees this concret,
07:18I just need hydrating.
07:18Not the first part of this state,
