00:00The most sensitive thing here is the students.
00:03The students sit there.
00:04And those who have other problems with the students,
00:07they are not harmed.
00:09We have taken care of that.
00:11We have tried to give everything to the police and our people.
00:15The day the students started the fire,
00:20they told the police that we are not involved in this.
00:26And we will continue this.
00:29We don't want this.
00:30When they started the fire,
00:32we called for the army.
00:35But they didn't call for the army.
00:37Many of us try to say,
00:39don't call for the army against the students.
00:41I am doing politics for the students.
00:43Since the time of Dhaka University,
00:46I have known what the army did.
00:50Do you know how many incidents,
00:53the army, the BNP, and the Jamaat,
00:57they are doing it together.
00:59The BNP is giving all the help.
01:01My question is,
01:02they are doing so much,
01:04but the economy is not doing well.
01:06You should find out where the economy is coming from.
01:10You should know that.
01:13I request you.
01:15We want this situation to be resolved as soon as possible.
01:19Many of us have come here peacefully.
01:23Many of us,
01:26whatever the situation is,
01:28it will be better soon.
01:30We have also calmed down the curfew.
01:33I will leave it to you.
01:36As soon as the situation is better,
01:38we will give you the time.
01:40We have told you about the districts.
01:42All the districts,
01:43they are not able to do anything.
01:45All the districts,
01:46the DC,
01:48and the government,
01:50they are not able to do anything.
01:52So we have told you,
01:53you should sit down,
01:54how long the curfew will be,
01:56you should not stay there.
01:57We have given you the time.
01:59We have also given you the place in Dhaka.
02:01As soon as the situation is better,
02:03it will be better soon.
02:05The Jamaat,
02:06the army,
02:07the soldiers,
02:08the soldiers should attack.
02:10Otherwise,
02:11we will cut their throats,
02:12we will do something.
02:14All of them voted for us.
02:16We cut their throats,
02:17and threw them out of the college.
02:19We cut their throats,
02:21we cut their hands,
02:22we cut their legs,
02:23we threw them out of the school.
02:27Who is responsible for all this?
02:30The whole army,
02:32the Jamaat,
02:33and the BNP,
02:34today,
02:35they are also out of power.
02:37They still don't know,
02:38they still order us,
02:39let's go,
02:40let's protest.
02:41It means,
02:42they are not giving us the right to protest.
