00:00What options have we got apart from this?

00:04I mean, we can't attack India if, you know, clearly that's not an option.

00:30To be absolutely frank, I'm a bit disappointed by the international community.

00:47I'm disappointed first because, you know, if 8 million Europeans were put under siege like this for 50 days

00:57or Jews were put under siege or Americans were put under siege, well forget Americans,

01:03even 8 Americans were put under siege, but I'm talking about any other.

01:08I mean, would the reaction have been the same?

01:12You know, they make statements and there is no pressure as yet on Narendra Modi to lift the siege.

01:19And what is happening to them right now? Responsibility lies on the United Nations too.

01:24And also, I think, finally, of the world leaders, the big countries, the powerful countries,

01:30I would urge them to look beyond big markets.

01:35There are certain, this thing, if this thing goes wrong,

01:38the effects will go way beyond the borders of the subcontinent.

01:43If ever, if ever the Security Council has to move, it's now.

01:48And I'd say for two reasons.

01:50One, the people of Kashmir are suffering simply because the Security Council could not implement its decision

01:57to allow them the right of self-determination.

02:008 million people are locked inside for 50 days.

02:04It's inhuman.

02:06So what is the Security Council for then?

02:09I feel disappointed that how can the world community stay quiet

02:14when 8 million people are being treated worse than animals?

02:18People look upon India as a market of 1.2 billion people.

02:22Sadly, I mean, sadly, this is what is happening.

02:27Material comes over the human.

02:30Some are appalled by it.

02:32But they keep quiet because in the end they start thinking of a market.

02:36What options have we got apart from this?

02:39I mean, we can't attack India if, you know, clearly that's not an option.
