00:00What is my indignity, when my 19 masjids have been destroyed or damaged,
00:054-4 cylinders have been put in front of masjid and the masjid is burnt?
00:09OACJ has done it with great passion, that the masjid is burnt, OACJ has burnt the temple as well.
00:17Let's show a little bit of sadness for this as well.
00:30Many inquiry commissions have said very clearly that if a communal carnage continues for more than 24 hours,
00:46it is a pre-planned program wherein the state not only abets the mobs,
00:51but it is the police who will play a major role in the destruction and the carnage.
00:55To call it a communal riot is a joke, this is a program, sir, and it has to be called in that way only.
01:02Delhi's population is 1.70 crore.
01:10And where the Ganga happened, the population there is 2 million.
01:15It was the biggest task of the police, and I want to praise the Delhi police for this, and I want to commend them as well.
01:25Listen, listen, listen, listen to what OACJ is saying.
01:31Let me finish, let me finish.
01:36You were not there when I expressed my sadness, you were not there.
01:40Why was the Home Minister absent in action?
02:00There is no explanation for the same.
02:04I feel bad standing face to face with Amit Shah.
02:08You are still young, you have a good future.
02:12If you acknowledge responsibility for your failure to control Delhi riots,
02:18if you acknowledge your responsibility for failure to stop Delhi riots,
02:29to bring peace in three days,
02:32you are busy with Trump, you could not do it,
02:35as long as responsibility is in the name of God.
02:38He said that I was there in Trump's program.
02:43Mr. Trump's program was already decided.
02:48It was in my constituency.
02:50My departure was also decided.
02:52And I went the next day.
02:54There was no incident at that time.
02:57Not pleased.
03:03And I came here at 6.30.
03:09They said Taj Mahal was there, I did not go to Taj Mahal.
03:13Listen, many people said.
03:19I came straight here.
03:22The next day, Mr. Trump was kidnapped at the President's house.
03:29I did not go.
03:30Lunch was held in the afternoon.
03:32I did not go.
03:33Dinner was held at night.
03:35I did not go.
03:36I did not go to dinner either.
03:38You can check the record, Dada.
03:40The whole time, I was with the Delhi Police.
03:43How could this not spread forward?
03:45And how could this not be controlled?
03:47What is my indignity?
03:50When my 19 mosques have been destroyed or damaged.
03:53Four-four cylinders have been put in front of mosques.
03:56And the mosques have been burned.
03:58What is my dignity when I see a saffron flag being erected on my mosque?
04:03What is my dignity when a boy called Faizan was being shot dead?
04:07And he was forced to recite Jangan Mann.
04:10What is my dignity if an 85-year-old Akbari Begum was burned alive?
04:15What is my dignity if thousands of Muslims' homes have been burned?
04:20What is my dignity, sir, when children have become orphans?
04:23Where is the dignity?
04:25Please show me where is the dignity.
04:27Do you have any humanity left in you?
04:29For God's sake, show your humanity.
04:32OAC has done this with great passion.
04:35The mosque was burnt.
04:37OAC sir, the temple was also burnt.
04:39Let's mourn for him a little.
04:42I mourn for both the temple and the mosque.
04:46No religious place, whether it is a gurudwara or a church,
04:49whether it is a temple or a mosque, should be burnt.
04:51You gave an example of Jubeir.
04:54It is a very unfortunate incident.
04:56We will not spare the killers of Jubeir.
04:58But along with this, the IBK officer has inflicted 400 wounds on Sharma's body.
05:03If he had also spoken, Sadan's reputation would have increased.
05:07A murder of Ankit, a murder of Faizan,
05:10a murder of anyone, has to be probed impartially.
05:13A life of Ankit cannot have more premium over life of Faizan.
05:18These are both Indians.
05:20But the misfortune is, one was a Muslim, other was not a Muslim.
05:23And that is why you see, from the government side,
05:26they have deliberately talked about a higher premium
05:29of a life who doesn't happen to be Muslim.
05:32The beatings of Jubeir.
05:34The beatings of Jubeir were used by ISIS.
05:37Was used by ISIS to put on their magazine.
05:40Do you want the Muslims to be radicalised?
05:43You have radicalised your Hindu community.
05:45Please don't radicalise us.
05:47Through the face identification software,
05:50the process of identifying all these faces has started.
05:54OAC sir has expressed this concern as well.
05:57Although, only one community has done it,
05:59that the innocent should not be caught.
06:01OAC sir, this is a software.
06:03It does not look at religion.
06:05It is a software.
06:07It does not look at clothes.
06:09It only looks at the face.
06:11And after looking at the face, it is caught.
