He'll be here soon.

Keep checking, I'm coming.

- Yes, sir.

Ex-PM has reached.

You're not allowed to go ahead!

'We're sorry to inform

you that earlier tonight..'

'..lndia's former Prime

Minister was assassinated.'

'This dreadful blast

took place at 10:10pm.'

'He was in Poothiyaddur

district in South India,

to address an election rally.'

'In the south of India,

this sudden and tragic death..'

'..has left the whole

nation in a state of shock.'

'This is the first time

a human bomb has been used...'

'His unfortunate death has

left people in a state of shock.'

'The whole nation is mourning.'

'So far this blast has

claimed 25 people's lives,

and injured more than 100 people.'

'A horrific blast

took place at 10:10pm.'

'This shocking incident has sent

shock waves across the entire nation.'

'Bringing the country

to a complete standstill.'

'The special investigation

squad has revealed..'

'..the use of plastic

explosives and RDX.'

'So far this blast has

claimed 25 people's lives,

and injured more than 100 people.'

They were those who

came to the rally...

..to support our

former prime minister.

Just like that.

What was his fault?

He was so young.

We tried.

But we lost. - 'President

has requested people to stay calm.'

'Leaders all across the world

have expressed their condolences.'

'After some time..' - Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go!

'The investigation team

arrested a few suspects.'

'And a few suspects committed

suicide before they could be arrested.'

'And I submitted my report

to the special investigation team.'

This commission appreciates

your investigations.

And yes, we will consider them.

But, Mr.

Vikram, we need solid evidence.

'I'd never realized that...

...the world is so threatened

by our Prime Minister.'

'RD sir resigned after a few days.'

I hope you've given this

decision of yours a thought.

Yes.

And I took a voluntary

retirement and came here.

Whatever you just said

could also be just a coincidence.

No, Father.

This conspiracy was played

out just as it was planned.

And I was late.

But I couldn't compete with him.

They were powerful.

And In this game we

lost our Prime Minister.

And the Lankan Tamils

- their future.

Then who won?

I don't know.

Perhaps it was everyone's loss.

And Anna?

One man's revolutionary

is another man's terrorist.

Anna is revolutionary

for his people.

But I lost my Prime Minister.

What will you do now?

Ruby's father gave this to me...

...on our wedding day.

A wedding gift.

Where the mind is without

fear and the head is held high..

Where knowledge is free..

Where the world has not

been broken up into fragments.

By narrow domestic walls..

Where words come out

from the depth of truth"

Where tireless striving stretches

its arms towards perfection..

Where the clear stream

of reason has not lost its way..

Into the dreary desert

sand of dead habit.

Where the mind is

led forward by thee..

Into every-widening

thought and action"

Into that heaven of freedom,

my Father,
