• She started taking tuitions when my father was alive. After my father died, she increased her duration of taking tuitions
• She used to return from college and teach 20 municipality kids for two hours, then she would take private tuitions from 6-9 pm
• Then she would study herself and teach her siblings
• A girl who was scared of cockroaches and lizards, how can she kill anyone?
• We have been living with this blotch for nine years
• Police just declared that she was a terrorist, they never thought how would we live with this?
• Today SIT report, CBI report, the law, everyone is saying Ishrat was not a terrorist.. then why are questions still being raised on whether she was a terrorist or not?
• Just because we are poor Muslims, does that mean we are linked to terrorists?
• Why are we poor Muslims always asked for proof to show that we are not terrorists
• Any girl who steps out, is she safe?
• Today who are supporting us, they are both Muslims as well as non-Muslims because they thought we are correct
• Our lawyer Vrinda Grover is not a Muslim but she has been fighting for us since the beginning
• Whoever is involved in this case, whether it is a politician or a policeman, each one should be punished
• I have full faith in the law of my countryFake encounter is an example of the bravery of Narendra Modi's model of governance
• It's the fight for all those who were targeted by that model of governance
• And it's the issue of many under-trials languishing in jails
• Why the dual role of home ministry?
• We want to know why this wrong propaganda about Headley
