once we reach there.

I don't have interest in that?

I don't have cash with

me, then how can I?

You have lot of ear rings,

on selling two or three!

Is it not gold?

Don't turn on the lights.

Will anyone see?

Keep quite you!

Korh please, don't make noise.

Not me it is the door.

See, these unwashed under

garments! That is Korh,

what I said, will wash

only once I reach there!

Washing and all, afterwards, must

send the cash of this ticket to

Madhu Mitha on reaching there.

Both together!

Why are you, not

putting on the light?

Current bill!

Where were you, both of you?

We were here itself!

Media and people really

fried the government!

You are missing, in

the custody, killed.

Arrange the press

meet tomorrow morning.

Me and missing Jonhs and Korh!

They will be with me. The rest of

the things, on meeting in person.

You don't worry anything,

just tell what I tell you to say.

Somebody have kidnapped you,

I will tell who did, what

was the motive and all.

Then, tomorrow.

We are not here, tomorrow.

Not here!

Tomorrow, we are not here.

Flight is at morning

5:
30 we are going.

Going where to? Do you know what

all problems you have created?

Without solving all that

cannot go from here.

Tomorrow press meet,

after that along with me, for

the election campaigning.

Going back, will decide later.

Is this your problem?

I'll decide when you guys go!

Navas!

Not that way, come fast!

Catch them!

Don't leave, catch them! Stop there!

Want water to drink.

Do you know this person?

Yea, he is the one at the house.

House?

No. Not this man.

Then do you know them?

No.

Just take a look and say. May

be your own Fathers photo!

You do not know them? Then

you might be knowing him?

Yes.

We know, we do not know them!

Gopan Chandrashekkar

one of the most wanted

extremist of central government.

Not only him, but you

know, all of them.

No.

Last week they had met you.

No.

19th night.

No.

That meeting took

place in your house.

No sir.

There is an intelligence report that

you had planned a mission based

on Cochin Metro.

What was that plan?

It is true that they had come.

They came asking for

the support for the protest.

Told something absurd

and they had gone.

We do not know, their

ware bouts even now or then.

We are not connected

with any radical groups.

Whose is the master plan that you

are enacting here? Tell that also.

Turn off that camera,

erase that last question.

I know you do not have

any connection with the

so called radical groups.

That is what we are

also saying. Leave us free!

What was that bothering you, on

telling to stay with Akkilesh till election?

What? Do you think you call break

Finance Minister's balls and go?

We can't do that!

Here in Fort Kochi, we have caught

the whites for buying the ganja,

jailed them. And have made

them read...lndian law!

Now they are all in

jail making Chapatis!

No one have come

to ask nor will ask.

Sign, Sign than!

Hey get UP!

Get inside!

Slowly, stitch will break!

Urine is not passing is it not? Are

you discharged, or came out?

Where are they taken?

Tell me at least.

The problem cannot be solved by

putting those American boys in the jail.

Where are they taken

what is the plan?

Can go, only after telling that

Move back boy!

Are you blocking?

What you did is a big blunder?

When they are jailed,

there glamour will increase

They will grow from there.

After they are freed from jail, will

create head ache for us again.

A big trouble.

Then what are you going to do?

These things should not be delayed,

must be finished in a single shot!

How long I'm doing this! No

one has come to know that,

...bladder was smashed

by those children!

No one should know, it

is a shame, go and take rest.

Sir, they are waiting.

Coming man!

Live telecast of Home minister

Venella Gopalan Nair's press meet.

After government,

been put on turmoil.

The government's

official explanations,

after the missing of Johns and Korh.

Where is John's and Korh?

What is the crime they have done?

Why is the government

playing a hide and seek?

What the opposition

leader has told...

This is the foreigners act as per

1946, it is very well written in this.

Laws that have to be followed by

foreigners, on reaching here, in India.

This is the amendment

brought in 64. It is further strict...

What we have to ask is

what is the of fence done by them?

Be patient! Listen what I'm saying.

After that, can do

cross questioning?

Is it a big crime in interfering

with the problems of the poor?

It is a crime, were bail,

will not be obtained.

In politics, missionary activities,

like that, there are lot of visa rules.

Areas where foreigners

cannot intervene.

...It is not what I have

told it is in this.

Sit.

Sit there, keep quite!

Those who come in tourist

visa must see the place and go.

Those in student's visa

must study and go.

If they start to align with Maoist

and start doing national threats.

This government cannot

watch that and stand.

Johns and Korah

are they not Indians?

No they are not Indians.

They are the American

citizens born in America.

This is a political conspiracy.

This is to curb young men

entering politics, a clear cut,

...fabricated, political

programming, is it not?

No, government has got clear

evidences, video tapes,

where they are accepting the crime.

When are they going to be

produced in the court?

Government has taken the legal

opinion of Advocate General,

necessary actions have been taken.

So government had

decided to put them in jail is it?

Kerala government is

deporting them. Listen carefully.

Their visa, will be cancelled and

they will be send back home.

Come, get "P!

Get up!

This is truly in humane.

A violation of human rights.

A responsible government

must enact the rules.

Governments had deported

many in the past, of those

who fail to abide with the visa rules.

In this case, pertaining to

the fact, they are students

and also their mass support.

Giving, concessions.

Government has taken this decision

on the humanitarian ground.

Kerala government is

bearing all the expenses,

including the flight

ticket, for the return.

Government had contacted

American consulate, Embassy,

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and all.

Not only that, their

parents are also informed.

Sir, sir please sir in this situation,

what would you like

to say to compatriots?

What did you ask?

How would you

react to the act of deporting?

Shouldn't have done this, to us!

Youth have already reacted

to the governments, action.

What do you have to say to youths?

Future is always in the

hands of youth! Support them!

We have proved that!

Older generation must trust them!

Any message before you go?

What?

Any message to the people of India?

We have shown a way here, it is

dedicated to the young generation here!

Our life, is our message!
