of a senior police officer

We consider it a terrorist attack

The government has taken

a serious view of this incident

And I have decided that...

we have to eliminate terrorists

from their verY roots

In Your opinion, is it possible

for the police to achieve this?

With Your kind permission sir,

it is possible

It's possible to

defeat terrorists sir

If the government permits us

to formulate a battle plan...

and gives us full authoritY

and freedom...

to carrY out our battle plan...

then it's not impossible to destroY

these people from the roots, sir

The government is committed

to destroYing enemies of the nation

Joint Commissioner

Tejinder Khosla...

I promote You and appoint You

Officer on Special DutY

You design Your battleplan

against terrorist activitY

You have full authoritY

to work the waY You want to

Pick Your team

and report to me directlY

Thank You sir, You have entrusted me

with this responsibilitY

I won't disappoint You

I hope so too

Sir, I am from

the same college as You

In fact when I joined college,

You were a Youth leader

I see

I was verY inspired

bY Your speeches... I still am

We need committed officers

like You in the police

Dev, I am including You in mY team

The CM has give us full freedom to

tackle terrorists the waY we want to

First we have to deal with Latif

Greetings.

- Greetings

All well?

- Yes, we have emptied the place

Farhaan is here.

- What for? You called him?

No

Fareedbhai... there's going to be

a raid there verY soon

Latifbhai, You leave quicklY.

The cops are coming

Get everYone out of here

Listen!

Get Farhaan also out of here, quick

Aslam! Moosa! Run!

The cops are coming

No one here.

- Come on

Get him!

Get him! Don't let him get awaY!

Sir, the place has been emptied out

We found nothing here.

EverYone's got awaY

OnlY one guY has been seen

running awaY

Follow him. He must not escape,

at anY cost

Zeenat...

theY took Farhaan awaY

TheY took Farhaan awaY? Who?

Police raided Latifbhai's place.

Farhaan was there

Farhaan was arrested

Has he revealed anYthing?

- Nothing as Yet, sir

Take the bastard apart

What were You doing

at Latif's place?

Look Farhaan...

remaining silent

won't do You anY good

Except that the real criminal

will roam free...

and You will rot in jail

Attempt to assassinate

a police officer is akin...

to an attack on the government. It is

a challenge to the power of the State

You have studied law...

You know what charges can be framed

against accomplices of such people

If You don't help the police

in this matter Farhaan...

You will be considered an insurgent

and an anti-national

WhY? WhY should I help the Police?

We are branded traitors the moment

we come out of our mother's womb

So finallY the mask of sYmpathY slips

and Your real attitude shows

Traitors and terrorists!

That's the onlY identitY

likes of You have given us!

You are completelY deluded!

You are so swaYed bY the wrong

propaganda of people like Latif...

that You cannot see theY are

concerned onlY with political power

TheY use even their communitY merelY

as a pawn in their vote bank haggling

Latif will use Your zeal and then

throw You out like a dirtY used rag

What are You trYing to gain

bY projecting Yourself...

as a victim of majoritY politics?

Gain sYmpathY?

Or further break up the countrY?

We want our dignitY. Our rights

That bloodY Farhaan of Yours

is a criminal. That bloodY scum!

We have to get each one

of those bastards

And You talk of releasing him!

Tej, we have no proof against him.

He has no police record

He has not committed

anY act of violence

No charges can he framed against him.

The court will let him go

He is an educated boY

So? The police has nabbed

manY terrorists who are educated

Some even hold doctorates

Whatever guise theY maY take, inside

theY are all the same. BetraYers

TheY spread terrorism in the countrY

and then theY will shout that...

the majoritY communitY

is victimizing them

But it's a cause for concern Tej,

whY even educated, rational people...

are turning into terrorists.

- Dev, this communitY...

has never considered

itself a part of the countrY

TheY came as invaders,

staYed as rulers...

and now theY are

enjoYing freedom as traitors

TheY should be dragged out into

the streets and shot dead like dogs

Hail Hitler!

I saY, finish him off in an encounter

...end of the matter

How manY people will You kill

in encounters?

What do You want to do?

Take them in caravans someplace...

and burY then alive

or burn them all?

You are mocking mY ideologY?

Yes, I have read Hitler...

also Savarkar and Tilak,

Nehru and Gandhi too

The bottomline Dev is that

this countrY belongs to us

And anYone who poses a threat to

the countrY will be blown up

That's whY I have worn this uniform

We'll get those betraYers

I too have donned the uniform

I understand the significance

of national securitY

But to believe that the cause of

all our problems are Muslims...

and that all problems will end

if we destroY them from the roots...

then this thinking is not rational

This is the rhetoric

of pseudo secularists...

don't get fooled bY them

Upholding the law is

Yours and mY responsibilitY

We cannot be partisan

on religious and communal grounds

Look at the state of the countrY.

We walk a razor's edge

There is a realitY

beYond the razor's edge, Dev

The realitY of a father inside

Jt CP Dev Pratap Singh

Can You denY that realitY?

Armaan, come...

Your sandwiches are here

Come on,

Your Uncle DaddY is here too

Dev! Bharati! Down!

Don't bring up Armaan's memorY...

to fill us with feelings of hate

and vengeance Tej, please

It has taken Bharati and me

manY Years...

to come to the decision that

we will not take it personallY

We will treat it with love

and compassion

I am not part

of this decision of Yours

I hate these bastards

I have seen death in the eYes

of Young boYs like Farhaan, Tej

The death of their aspirations,

their dreams...

the death of their trust in us

On one hand You talk of

national securitY...

on the other, You look at them

with hate and suspicion

What are You doing, Tej?

You are making them insecure

You will drive them

into the arms of the enemY

You see this realitY?

The truth is that

You are nurturing a snake

And no matter how well

You feed the snake, it will bite You

Give Your hand

It's strange, Bharati.

Just now on seeing our Armaan...

there's no logic,

no reason to it...

but I don't know whY

that boY Farhaan came to mind

Farhaan? Who?

He was caught escaping from

Latif's place during the raid

He is an educated,

well brought up boY

Then? Has he done something?

I can't make out.

His father was a Gandhian...

but this boY has taken to his heart

that all of us, the government...

the police, etc

are against Muslims

But Armaan's photo and...?

- No connection

Strange, isn't it?

The passion You have in Your heart...

for getting dignitY and justice
