Vaisakhi List Page #13

---

has been so eagerly waiting for.

Prisoners being released

before term completion.

l would request our Jail minister Mr.

Satpal Mundair..

..to come on the stage and share

his thoughts with these prisoners

And begin with the

process of the release.

Mr. Satpal Mundair.

Let's go, sir.

lt is closed

What kind of a tunnel did

you dig that filled up immediately?

Do l dig tunnels

with guarantee on them?

And this didn't close on its own.

- Someone has ruined my hard work.

- Now what?

Dear prisoners,

l don't know what to say.

l don't know.. what to say.

Oh sir..

l really don't know what to say.

Now l have the speech in my hand.

l mean now everything is in our hands.

Now all of you can talk freely.

l know it is very difficult

to spend your life in prison.

So our government will

try to one by one release..

..prisoners who have

good behavior at the earliest.

l feel sad that your

husbands are not more.

Your uncovered heads

and white clothes haunt me.

But don't worry,

our government is with you.

lf any of you wish

to get married again..

..then the government

will find boys for you.

Boys?

After all,

one man should help the other.

l know you are very brave.

l can see the queen

of Jhansi in each of you

l can see Mother Teresa.

l can see PT Usha!

God has blessed you with a boon..

..of carrying a child

in your womb for nine months.

God has blessed you with this boon?

l know this is not true for you.

But brothers, please listen to me.

Don't get me wrong,

Whenever you are

released and you go home.

This is what you have to say to

your mothers, sisters and daughters.

..on behalf of the government.

No one will cry when

this idiot minister will die.

l wonder how people voted for him.

He became a minister

on companionate grounds

What's that?

Through sympathy quota.

Like you got a job

after your father died.

My prisoner brothers,

l won't take much of your time today.

Even though l know that

you have nothing else to do.

Now, l would request

the jailer to bring on stage..

..the two prisoners who

are getting released today.

Jarnail Singh and Tarseen Lal.

This won't work!

Jarnail Singh and Tarseen Lal.

Let us go, inspector.

He is announcing our name.

We are being released today.

Which father of yours told

you that you are being released?

Not our father, that mother told us.

Ask her. -Yes

Did you hear that?

He is announcing our names.

Jarnail and Tarseen.. -Shut up!

Do one thing,

call me back when they come here.

Get up.

Respected Jail minister

and my dear prisoners.

Before everyone learns the truth..

..l want to present my

clean record to all of you.

A few years ago there used to

Ramayana play enactment in our prison.

On the day when Laxman faints..

The prisoner who had become Hanuman..

..made such a big jump

to get the cure-all herb..

..that even after Dussehra

was celebrated he didn't come back.

Then to correct the

track record of our prison..

..we decided that no matter

what happens to Laxman..

..the Hanuman won't leave the

prison to go get the cure-all herb.

Like the minister was saying,

he doesn't know what to say..

l know what l have to say,

but l don't know how to say it.

ln 20 years of service, l have always

tried not to stain this uniform.

But it's as if as soon as

l had a bath, the fly left a spot.

How do l express my

feelings and share my pain?

ln the ending what it comes down to..

..is that l loved these two

prisoners like my own children.

But these ungrateful beings

treated me like a stepfather.

My uniform doesn't

allow it otherwise..

..l would have cussed them so badly..

..that their family

would have begged me.

"Here, settle it between yourselves."

"You don't need to involve

mothers and sisters into this."

These sticks won't help.

l have already tried it.

We cannot jump across

the wall using them.

Everything is over.

Nothing is over.

We will jump.

Jarnail, we will have

to find some other way.

Have you ever heard anyone making,.

..such a big jump

with such a small stick?

No, l haven't heard

But l also haven't heard..

..that a girl ran away with the boy

..she had refused to marry.

But l also haven't heard that

a father makes multiple attempts..

..to flee from the prison

in order to meet his son.

And that even after every unsuccessful

attempt, he doesn't give up.

Did you give up?

Tarseen Lal,

we have done many firsts in our lives

This wall which no one has

ever been able to jump cross.

We will be the first

ones to do that as well.

Your son has just

learnt to read right?

He will also learn to laugh,

play and live.

Without you.

And you too get married to

someone else and keep crying for me.

lf we want to get out officially

then we will have to go back inside.

lt's upto you.

Or your fear might

kill your son's happiness.

When the law states

that you are innocent..

..we will believe

that you are innocent.

Now l'll leave with you only after

you are released from the prison.

Risking my job, l did so many things

to get the two of them released.

But they have ruined my reputation.

Hello.

Well done, my boys.

Today you saved Jailer Jolawar Singh

Johal reputation from being ruined.

Better late than never.

Brothers, my mother must have not

eagerly waited for me for 21 years..

..as much as l eagerly waited

for you in the past 4 hours

Minister, they are so stubborn.

Since morning they

have been saying that..

..they want to show their

gymnastic skills to the minister.

They want to put up an act.

l tried talking them out of it.

l told them;

"Brothers, he is jail minister

and not a sports minister."

But they didn't budge.

They did it.

Yes

ldiots, you ended up at his feet.

A little misaim and

you would have killed him.

Anyway, now l would request our

respectable minister Mr. Satpal Mundair..

..to release these two prisoners

on this festive occasion of Vaisakhi.

A huge round of applause.

l don't know what to say.

Thank you - Thank you.

l really don't know what to say.

Our prisons are so full of talent.

The prisoners performed

a magnificent jump.

What talent?

The prisoners came

inside from outside.

The prisoners have

to run to make a jump.

There is no place

to run in the prison.

Hence, the prisoners run outside

the prison, jumped and came inside.

Very simple.

The prisoners were not in the prison.

They came at the last moment.

Didn't you notice how

scared the jailer was?

What is the evidence?

l will gather all

the evidences you want.

But we will be blamed.

The jailer might

have recommended them..

..but we are the ones

who passed the order.

Try to understand

- Why should l understand?

l have kept smart

people like you with me..

..to understand and explain,

Mr. Jeeta.

l do my job,

the rest will be handled by Jeeta.

Let's go.

Your father got released.

Now will you come with me?

Daddy.

Please forgive me, son.

We misunderstood you

l should be the one apologizing.
