for the first time by suffering.

On trying real hard, that one lakh

rupees will fall in to our hands!

With that we can go back.

You try all by yourself, I'm not there!

You go, if you get the cash.

When you reach there, if you

have the soul! Send one ticket,

I'll come if I'm alive!

Had the police

knocked on your head!

It must be the police,

I can't! Tell, I'm dead!

Police really assaulted is it not?

We thought, you are pseudo

revolutionaries, saying,

knows the pain of the

ones who are starved!

But today on the intervention of

yours, there was a mood of revolt,

right from its roots!

Yes, spark of fire has been lit,

tomorrow it will engulf it to

a big flame! We'll spread it!

Tomorrow at least two

battalion of police will be there,

there might be firing also.

Once police attacks, must fight

back! We are there with you!

Police will shoot!

Let them!

Keep this in case of an emergency!

No need.

This guts, is the biggest weapon!

Tomorrow a historic

event is waiting for you!

The words of Mao

is going to be true.

Villages like lllampalli, on

account of its resistance

will shake the beaucracy!

The tents destroyed by the police

will sprout again there itself, tomorrow.

Comrades will see you tomorrow!

I must see them. Must

call them, back at the earliest.

Not getting them over the phone.

Scaria had gone in search of them.

I must see them,

didn't I tell, must call them back.

Wait there, you are the only person,

is this the way to

correct the children?

Apart from this what was the way in

front of us? Are they to stay here?

Then what happened

on sending them there?

Where was it?

Here!

For me it was here!

American Malayalli's Johns

and Korah are found missing

after the lllampalli lathi charge.

Their friend and neighbor,

Lyoid Fernandez had informed...

this to media.

We had a relationship, having

food, from the same plate,

using one, and common toilet!

Buddy on seeing the scenes of their

beating on TV, heart was broken!

I went to station to give a

petition but I was questioned,

I'm the one who is answerable.

Children's parents will ask me!

Though the time has lapsed, on the

missing of Johns Korah, still now,

we do not have a concrete

answer on where they are.

From the circumstantial evidences

we can come to know that...

it is a well-planned kidnapping.

There is a wide spread doubt that,

is police behind this missing?

Or is it any kind of sabotage?

Johns Korah's are they still alive?

Doubts are not ending, so as the news.

Even though, there was an attack

on police, no one was arrested

not even the leaders of the strike

nor the volunteers in the protest.

Then why should Johns and

Korah alone be arrested?

The DGP Varghese Manjuran

had stated that, American malayalli's...

and social activist, Johns Issac,

Korah Murrekkan's missing case...

further more investigations

has been stated.

Our only prayers are, both

of them must be returned alive.

What is this government doing?

Students protest, claiming that the

government is behind their missing,

protest tuned out to violence.

Fascist and ruling terrorist's

creates, generally, martyrs.

What happened in the case of

comrade Johns and Korah is

nothing different.

This government must resign!

People have asked in return

before, for the blood of martyrs.

With a weapon 'vote' !

Where is this, Johns and Korh,

government must answer?

Have Johns and Korh been

murdered by political rivals?

Or will we hear the both names,

in the list of ones in the lockups,

in the coming days?

Will this be a headache for

the government as there are only

few days left for the election?

Must smile properly.

Mother, greetings, should help.

Help, you all threw

away that children!

Then coming here and standing.

Whose matter are

you telling Mother?

He is the candidate here.

Akkilesh Varma, do

you know the symbol?

Why not?

We know everything,

Those children who disdained their

families for us, you all finished them!

Now, wants help! Get lost from

here, no one should be seen here.

Hi, sister!

Closed!

Akkilesh Varma,

candidate, our varma sir's son.

What is this all about?

These fellows have switched off

the mobile and will be enjoying

the chill in Kuttalam or kuttikanam.

How many more days

left for election, Venella?

Trying for the maximum, some

decision will be taken within 48 hours.

48 hours! Tomorrow morning at 11

is the press meet, what will I say?

Let me...

You are very much late.

Things won't comply on

kissing the hand of bishop!

CM, don't feel bad,

police lathi charge at llliampalli,

worsened the situation to such an extent.

Oh! Now after everything,

planning to put the blame on

home ministry and police, is it?

How long, is this student's missing?

What are you coming to say?

Are these police here, standing

with the finger in the mouth!

Anyway, due to their missing it

has created worry for me also.

Look, it is your responsibility

also, to find them.

Those, children are studying in

the benami, College of yours.

Things will fall in its place

only when we stand together.

You must do yours and I must do

mine, then only we can sit in the

ministerial chair like

this with buttocks!

Stop it Venella!

No body get tensed,

I'll manage my concerns.

I will do any help to find them.

No need sir.

Now, it is my need to find them and

win the elections. No body take trouble!

Check this out! How is this lad?

He is a doctor in America.

Looks like those smug!

Who comes to marry film stars,

the one without moustache?

This is like that type. I don't want.

Then are you going to

study for Mother Theresa?

Professor you don't take trouble,

I'll find out my bridegroom.

Go and open the door!

Hey where were you?

Where are you coming from?

Madhu Mitha.

Happy to know that you are alive!

Two cops have come

here in search of you.

Madhu Mitha we actually...

If confession is your intention,

go straight and turn left.

Church is there, I don't want

to listen.You must listen.

I don't want to hear.

Not that, for the last two

days we were in a junk bus.

Give something to eat.

Me too!

Suffer by yourself!

Go to that hospital and take a look,

just because of you, there

are few indigents.

Who got thrashing

and are lying there.

What harm did they do to you all!

Madhu Mitha listen to

what we are saying.

Don't let me to say, go out!

Right in the front page, Johns Korh

missing must be investigated by

police, comments

Justice Krishnna Raj.

What is your plan, shouldn't

inform home? Call home!
