Satyagraha Page #8

Synopsis: Satyagraha is the story of a son who yearns for a father. Of a father, who grieves for his lost son. Of a young woman who fights so hard with life that she has forgotten to love. Of an ambitious rabble-rouser, for whom action is the knee-jerk mantra. It is the story of how these four discover one another, and come together to raise hell, shaking the powers that be to their very roots! But, Satyagraha is also the story of an influential power-hungry despot who will stop at nothing to destroy them. Satyagraha: The revolution has begun!

When they come for the meeting...

they will be exposed.

Welcome.

Mr. Manav, the champion of the peoples | movement. One instruction after another!

You seem to have taken the | mickey out of us politicians!

Thank you all for coming here.

The police action on | your rally was uncalled for.

We are investigating it.

Regarding the first | demand on your list...

Replace the Ambikapur | Collector immediately.

Mr. Manav! Appointing a DM...

running the administration is | the governments prerogative.

And the government doesn't | run on your instructions.

Then why are you wasting | your time by calling us here?

Okay, well replace the Collector.

Thank you!

But the new Collector will | be chosen by the people.

Mr. Manav, Mr. Manav, | People elect leaders...

not Collectors.

Then change that system!

Give us a list of five officers.

People will choose one from that.

Relax Manav.

Don't you think you | are going a bit too far!

Manav, lets hear them out.

Things are getting too heated up.

Tea break?

Good idea.

Can you calm down Manav.

No matter about the meeting.

We need to speak of an important matter.

Look, Mr. Manav...

this so-called Ambikapur | revolution of yours...

will collapse like a pack of cards...

if l reveal that your friend...

Akhilesh Anand, was responsible for the | flyover collapse where 7 labourers died.

What do you mean?!

The flyover collapsed | because his design was flawed.

What rubbish!

You're lying!

Relax, chill.

l'm not saying this.

The report of the expert | international agency says so.

l was embarrassed too.

Assuming his brilliance, l put him | in charge of the districts projects.

Hence, l suppressed the | real details of the report.

And, dear sir, if you don't stop | this circus of instructions and all...

lll make the report public.

Got it?

- Come, Sir. - Come, Sir. Lets resume.

Oh, you finished your tea, already?

This meeting is over.

Why don't you say what happened?

l mean, you had the | peoples responsibility on you.

That was the government | we were speaking with.

But, dammit, your | attitude was so autocratic!

What did Balram Singh say to you?

A red car passed this way. | Did you see it?

No sir, l did not.

Who else is on duty here?

- Sir, there's Ratan Singh. - Call him.

Ratan...

Show me your Log book.

Look at this! Akki's design.

And, the appreciation from | National Engineers Association.

Another from Pete Hubert, | the American design guru.

And that sonofab#$ # | claims the design was faulty!

You know what the truth is?

This here is Akki's | confidential report to the Chief Minister.

The work was illegally grabbed | from the designated company...

by this Shiv Shakti.

Balram's brother, | Sangram Singh's company.

And here, 2 days before his accident | he writes that his report was leaked...

and he was receiving threats.

Hence, he wanted to resign.

He was referring to this inquiry!

Everyone's guilty, Yasmin.

From the Chief Minister to | Balram and his brother, Sangram.

This entire Department...

We need to answerjust one | question to link it all up.

Who ordered Akhilesh's death?

Stay here, sir.

lll have a look.

A pint, please.

Sir.

No...

l didn't see anything, sir.

l didn't see anything, sir.

not a thing Sir.

Your bike was here.

And another bike was following you.

No sir...

That Sangram Singh...

Hell kill me, sir.

Sangram Singh will kill me Sir.

Please save me, sir.

Where is this Chhotelal?

He's with us.

Safe.

Sorry about the tragedy.

But believe me, this report wasn't | deliberately from the CM's office.

Deliberately or otherwise...

the responsibility lies with the | office to which Akhilesh sent the report.

Yes, l understand that.

But the people you refer to | are also in this government.

lsn't too difficult to obtain | a copy of confidential papers.

What're you trying to say?

Remove the CM's name | from this controversy!

lll take action against Sangram Singh.

You look so handsome son.

Greetings.

Brother, today l will want | a special gift from you!

Happy Birthday. Be happy!

Thank you, brother, thank you.

Welcome, welcome, DGP.

Even you have come | to say Happy Birthday!

What's this?

Gift!?

Arrest warrant for Sangram Singh!

Warrant?

What?

What's the charge?!

Murder!

Of engineer Akhilesh Anand.

What nonsense!

The police inquiry cleared me.

lts the courts warrant, Sangram.

They've bypassed the police.

Go with them.

This your special birthday gift.

Today is his birthday! At least today...

Enough.

Who is behind this?

Mr. Chief Minister.

The Home Ministers | brother is in the dock.

lts the governments | moral responsibility...

So, Balram Singh accepted | the moral responsibility!

He handed over his innocent | brother to the cops on his birthday!

What more do you want?

Today is the last day of the | deadline issued by the Peoples Movement!

Your Government...

Look...

Our stand is clear.

Very respectfully, we | invited them for a meeting.

But, their attitude was dictatorial.

The people of Ambikapur have been | brainwashed by these so-called activists.

The government is run by | peoples representatives...

not by mobs!

lts clear that those...

who run government have a lofty vision.

They just don't want to see down here.

For them there isn't any problem at all!

As far as l am concerned...

Not one step has been taken | to clear those thousands...

of applications stuck in their files.

And, that is isn't | going to happen! Ever!

Rejecting the Rs. 2.5 | million compensation made...

no difference to your life, did it?

My husband died in | that flyover accident...

leaving these two pups for me to feed.

The government promised me Rs. 100000.

After months of efforts, the official | agreed to charge 40000 to release it.

Now, this campaign of | yours aborted that too.

The officials taunt me | to recover it from you!

You will never understand...

the pain of hunger.

When l'm sick, these two starve.

They cry silently in the night.

Frankly, your movement | has ruined our lives!

lf this woman and her | children go hungry...

l have no right to eat either.

Starting today, now...

l will fast indefinitely. Unto death.

Until the government...

fulfills our demands.

My decision is final!

Someone has lit the flaming torch

We were innocent but | now have been provoked

Someone has lit the flaming torch

We were innocent but | now have been provoked

We were innocent

We were innocent

We were gullible Now we are smart

We were gullible Now we are smart

This movement is of high-society people!

Total farce!

lts a picnic! The coporates are dishing | out burgers, samosas, coke, pepsi, coffee...

Song and dance and fun in full swing.

But, for the world, fast unto death!

This isn't a protest.

lt is an atrocity on poor people!

Long Live.. Our minister..

Long Live.. Balram Singh..

Some food for you! Found work today.

Were used to going hungry.

Why do you want us to | carry the guilt of your death?
