00:00I have apologized.
00:02I should have been hanged.
00:04I have put my son in jail.
00:08And I have kept him in jail.
00:30I have asked the government to give me the death penalty of all four families.
00:37I have not done anything wrong.
00:41Now what will I do with my life?
00:45It's good that after seeing the death penalty, I understood why I lived.
00:51The children in my house used to see them laughing and playing with their father.
00:55They used to be happy.
00:57I was not able to come because of the money problem.
01:00Then he somehow deposited the money for the rent and brought it for the child.
01:04Then I told him that this is your father.
01:07He was happy to see.
01:09But he started crying on the way.
01:11It would have been so nice if my father was with me.
01:15He started crying.
01:17What did your son say to you?
01:19Tell me.
01:22The government is harassing us because we are poor.
01:26They have hanged us.
01:28The government is so sensible.
01:32He has a daughter-in-law and a son.
01:35He is an old man.
01:37Where will he go?
01:39The government should think about this.
01:41I am also asking for justice.
01:43I am not being treated unjustly.
01:46My husband is being snatched away from me.
01:50Isn't that being treated unjustly?
01:52Am I not a woman of this country?
01:54Am I being treated unjustly?
01:56We also want justice.
01:58I also want to be married.
02:01Our children are nothing.
02:03They are poor.
02:05The government does not give any help to the poor.
02:08The government is ready to hang my son because he is poor.
02:16They have hanged him.
02:19If they had punished my son, it would have been better.
02:26If my son had been in jail, I would have been happy.
02:31My daughter-in-law would have been safe.
02:35I have apologised.
02:37I should not have been hanged.
02:39I would have taken my son to court.
02:43I would have put my son in jail.
02:47I wanted my son to be in jail.
02:51I could not live like this.
02:53I could not live in this world.
02:57I did not ask for anything from the government.
02:59I just asked for my son.
03:01I did not ask for anything else.
03:03My son should be safe.
03:05I did not ask for anything else.
03:07I did not ask for anything else from the government.
03:13I did not ask for anything else.
