The Lion of Punjab

Greetings to all my fellow Indians.

Now another astonishing news by IBM 7.

Thousands have died of cancer in the Malwa area of Punjab.

Why are people from this area suffering from cancer..

The reason is very sensational.

Research revealed that the water..

..of this place contains a large quantity of uranium.

The same uranium that is used to make nuclear bombs.

'We aren't saying so.'

'This is mentioned in the research done..,

'..by Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar.’

'According to that there is uranium..'

'..in the water, fruits and vegetables in Bhatinda.’

Bindra! Bindra!

'It has caused a lot of people to suffer from cancer.'

Bindra!

'According to the experts the uranium..'

'..is coming from the ground water.’

'This water is used for drinking as well as watering plants.'

'Thousands of villagers drink this poisonous water.'

'According to Guru Nanak Dev University..'..

..the water contains 138 micrograms of uranium..'

'..in every litre of water.'

'Whereas, per kilogram of wheat contains..'

'..111 micrograms of uranium.'

'This has caused the locals to suffer..

..from head, lungs, bones and intestines.'

I'm sorry to say that he is suffering from cancer. - Cancer?

'It's obvious that if this isn't looked into immediately..'

'..the consequences can be more dreadful.'

'But the Badal government is waiting..'

'..for the problem to escalate.'

These people know that this isn't water, but poison.

In spite of that they are helpless to drink it.

This water is slowly killing people of the Bhatinda district.

With Amreen Teja and Gaurav Manik..

..this Amit Chaudhary from Malkana, for IBN7.

What is he saying? He is talking about uranium.

The root cause of this is the factories..

..on the outskirts of the village.

All the poison is coming from those factories.

My sister lost her legs.

So many people have died in our village.

You guys don't support me..

Otherwise, I would've blown up these factories.

We lost three buffaloes as well.

I've made all the arrangements.

The goods are ready. These guys aren't supporting me.

Convince them. I am with you.

Brother, I too am with you.

Fine then. We too are with you.

Let's go for it.

We are good with those who are good.

Otherwise, you can ask everyone.

Or else, you can ask God.

What are you guys doing?

No.

These five confess their crime in front..

..of the council of five villages.

Tell us what punishment should they get?

They should apologise to the council of all the five villages.

And they should say in front of everyone..

..that they won't make such a mistake again.

We didn't know what we were doing.

Buddy, you are considering us to be criminals?

Moni, I know. In the last ten days..

..ten buffaloes have died drinking the village water.

Your sister suffered from a paralytic attack.

Instead of thinking about her marriage..

..you are doing all these wrong things.

All diseases are spreading because of the chemicals..

..that are coming from the factories..

..and going into the river. - What we were doing was right.

Don't say such wrong things. - They are right.

I am Amrit.

The chemicals from the factories are poisoning the water.

If we don't do anything now we'll all..

..die of some or the other diseases.

What Moni and his friends have done is the right thing to do.

The factory should have been exploded with a bomb.

It should've been exploded with a bomb.

Well done, terrorist.

I thought you are educated. You have brains.

You would say something sensible.

But you sound uneducated like them.

Had they exploded the factory..

..the chemicals in it would've destroyed..

..everything within the radius of 25kms.

Educated fool.

Avtaar, you are right. - What am I saying right?

Sir, you are the head of the council of five villages.

At least sometimes give good suggestions.

We have written to the water board.

Tell us what else we should do? - Water board won't do anything.

The minister Balwant Rai won the elections from our village.

He is our man. You should go and meet him.

You should tell him what your problems are.

But no, you cannot do that. - Then why don't you go meet him?

What do you do the village anyway?

Why should I go and meet him.

I have a lot of other things to do.

What work do you have here? You roam around idle.

What? - You cannot read the board on the bus.

People say A for apple and he says A for book.

He will go to Chandigarh to meet the minister?

Hey girl, what are you saying?

My son is a lion. The lion of Punjab.

He never harassed anyone. He never eyed any girl.

He might not be educated but he has that in him.

What is that? - That which can make the world go round.

Fine. - What fine?

If you are so educated, why don't you..

..go to Chandigarh with him to meet the minister?

Speak up. - She talks. - You have gone silent now.

Who is it that is talking like this with my sister?

My sister is no ordinary girl I tell you.

I have an idea. We will go together.

We'll go and talk to the minister.

I will go with her. - Hear that. He will go with her.

Brother, have you made the arrangements to go to Chandigarh?

Shut up. This isn't a joke.

I too am concerned about our village.

He alone is worried about the village.

Brother, keeping your hands in your..

..pockets doesn't resolve issues. - You need to work on them.

I'll do it. I'll do it and show it to you.

You'll do it. You will go there and start singing.

So, what's wrong with that?

Avtaar, you go to Chandigarh and meet the minister.

And put an end to this trouble.

So the council has decided that..

..you three will go and meet the minister.

And the people from all five villages..

..will make arrangements for you to go there.

We will write an application and..

..take everyone's signature on it.

You too will sign?

This is what I have learnt to sign my name for.

I don't have bank cheque books to sign on.
