Avrodh - The Siege Within (अवरोध)

Sir, I was just...

Come, let me introduce you to everyone.

- Sir, I'm a journalist. You are misunderstanding me. - Nice.

That's nice. Let's go, come.

Come, come. Let's talk.

- In the name of God... - Allah is greatest.

- In the name of God... - Allah is greatest.

Very good, well done.

Faster!

Assalam-waleikum.

Asalaam-waleikum.

Sadiq miyan .

Come in. Waleikum-asalaam.

- Please come... - Thank you...

If there is a heaven on earth...

...it's here, it's here, it's here.

Now this only applies to Pakistan's part of Kashmir.

What are you saying, Sadiq miyan ?

Heaven is on both sides.

All we need is...

...to free it from the infidels.

And that day isn't too far.

If Allah wills it.

There are rumours that these days...

...you've taken to drinking Kahwa quite a lot.

Your new friends have been throwing many parties.

Have a taste of my Kahwa as well.

Making new friends does not mean that I have forgotten the old ones.

I am still loyal to Jaish.

As you should be.

In my eyes, you have always been the great leader of an independent Kashmir.

Hizbul can never give you this respect.

By the way...

... Navaratri is going to start in six days.

There's a whole world beyond the Pir Panjal mountains, Sadiq miyan .

When did Jammu become a part of our war?

Not only Jammu...

...but also Himachal, Rajasthan...

...in fact, we are thinking all the way till Gujarat.

Meddling beyond Kashmir could be dangerous.

For sure.

Four times more dangerous.

Any news about Fakruddin?

I can't get through to him.

Since when?

Since last night.

And you're realising it now!

I've told you so many times to stop this vigilante journalism of yours.

But do you ever care to listen?

'Namrata, we corporate houses...'

'...cannot afford such fights with the government.'

This news channel, you, me.

For them, we are just a monthly pay-check.

'They don't want to lose their sleep over all of this. Don't you understand?'

This is what I've been trying to make you understand for a long time.

Anyway, do this.

Draft a response to the government's notice.

I will try to extract information about Fakruddin.

The number that you have called is switched off.

Retired journalist Fakruddin Rasheed.

Would you like an apple? It's Kashmiri.

Hmmm?

Looks like, I will have to bear the brunt of being a Kashmiri all my life.

That too without any evidence of a crime.

"Brunt"?

You were caught spying on the Indian Army, Fakruddin.

Investigating is my profession.

Who do you work for?

I work for myself.

I have been listening to this clichéd answer all my life.

Does your boss know that you are in army custody?

One who jumps, drowns...

- ...and one who drowns, gets across. - ...and one who drowns, gets across.

Amir Khusrow.

Very nice.

I have the same learnings.

The only difference is that I work for my country.

And me too.

So are you going to tell me your boss' name on your own...

...or do we have to force it out of you?

Having come all this way, if we don't cross the LoC on foot...

...you can change my name.

But, Racy, how can you be so sure?

I mean they would have told us by now if there was no heli support.

We are definitely going to cross into POK.

All that is left to see is, how deep we go.

Boys, if you have any doubts please direct them to me.

- But no speculations. - Sir!

- Clear? - Sir!

How are you boys doing?

- Good, Sir! - We are all good.

- Comfortable? - Yes, Sir.

- Feeling at home? - Yes, Sir.

- Absolutely. - Lovely.

Sir, has Fakruddin said anything?

He is from the media, It will take some time.

Shall we send Gurung, Sir?

He is with the NIA, let them also do some work.

If our Gurung does all the work, what will be left for them to do?

- Chaks. - Yes, Major.

What do you have for us?

ISRO has sent satellite images of the identified launch pads.

- 'Please have a look.' - Sure.

'This is the terrain...'

'...and these are the targets.'

Why don't we just use rockets?

Why would they need us?

Yes, they can surely be blown up.

But are we at war?

- Gurung? - No, Sir.

Right now, you are the rocket.

- We are the rockets. - 'Anyway, there's a big difference...'

...between rocket fire and the Special Forces knocking at your door.

We will need to take permission from the 15 Corps for drone support.

No, we can't. Drones can be detected...

...and we cannot take that risk.

But, Sir, without the live-drone feeds...

Drones will be used only for de-induction.

Chaks, send all these images to the Northern Command.

All intel of this area...

...details of all previous operations, latest grid references.

We need to know all current on-ground information.

- ASAP. - Right, Sir.

- Jagtap. - Yes, Sir.

Call Delhi.

Get information on all our moles working in that area.

- Yes, Sir. - And everyone else...

...this entire area's topography...

...population, ingress route, backup support...

...reaction time...

- I want it all to be fixed in your minds. - Yes, Sir.

I want all of us to have a mental blueprint of this, clear?

Sir.

Sir, when will we know about the target?

All the necessary information will be shared with you at the right time.

For now, I want all of us to focus.

- Clear, boys? - Yes, Sir. - Sir...

Good.

Major Gautam.

I was hoping to meet you soon.

Sorry for what happened at Uri.

Anyway, you must have received orders for the Ghatak platoon.

- Yes, Major. - And I am sure that whatever information you have...

...you will share it with your platoon only on a 'need to know' basis.

Yes, Major.

Major Gautam, you will be more than our eyes and ears during this mission.

We will also rely on you for cover fire if needed.

I hope we can count on you.

'Hello?'

Just hear me out once, Sarthak.

Namrata, we had decided that we will not let the two worlds meet.

I know, I'm sorry.

But I didn't know that the news would be false.

And if it had been true, no one would have cared about the source.

Seriously, Namu? That's your explanation?

Why don't you understand, Sarthak?

Malviya played you, just like he played me.

It doesn't matter whether he played me.

What you did was wrong, Namrata.

You are the one that crossed the line.

- I'm sorry. - So am I.

Namrata, I need some time. Take care of yourself.

- I'll call you. - Sarthak, hello.

Listen to me, Sar...

'Your Dr. Watson has been traced.'

Fakruddin!

Where?

Uri Army Base. He is in custody.

- What? - Yeah. Handle this, Namrata.

Ms. Namrata Joshi. Good evening.

Freedom of movement is treated as part of...

...the freedom of speech and expression...

...guaranteed by Article 19 of the Indian Constitution.

Fakruddin has broken no law!

And these fundamental rights have certain exceptions.

Official Secrets Act, 1923.

- Drink? - No, thank you.

No citizen has the right to spy on the army...

...to enter restricted areas...

...or to pass any sensitive information.

Fakruddin has been arrested outside the Uri base.

He was just doing his job.

Mohammad Bilal Rasheed, Mohammad Feroz Rasheed.

Two years back, these two boys...

...were leading a group which was pelting stones at the army.

The army had to resort to firing.

'It is unfortunate that they both died.'

Have you seen these pictures before?

They were your friend Fakruddin Rasheed's sons.

The conditions in which Fakruddin has been caught...

...and the charges on him are already known to you.

But you will be the one blamed for instigating him.

I was just doing my job.

Even if you are saved from the Official Secrets Act...

...the media will not spare you for running fake news.

Take my advice and start looking for a new job.

I think blogging is your true calling.

What do you all want?

That's better.

Stop your Experiments with Truth.
