Please sit down. Do sit down.
:31:04
Gentlemen, I've asked you to come
here through Mr. Jinnah's kindness...

:31:09
...because I've had the chance
to see the legislation.

:31:12
And it is exactly as was rumoured.
:31:15
Arrest without warrant,
and automatic imprisonment...

:31:18
...for possession of materials
considered seditious.

:31:21
And your writings
are specifically listed.

:31:24
So much for helping them
in the Great War.

:31:26
There is only one answer:
Direct action on a scale...

:31:30
...they can never handle.
:31:33
I don't think so.
:31:35
Terrorism would only justify
their repression.

:31:39
And what kind of leaders
would it throw up?

:31:43
Are they men that we'd want
at the head of our country?

:31:45
I too have read
Mr. Gandhi's writings...

:31:48
...but I'd rather be ruled by an
Indian terrorist than an English one.

:31:52
And I don't intend to submit
to that kind of law.

:31:55
I must say, it seems to me...
:31:57
...that it's gone beyond remedies
like passive resistance.

:32:03
If I may...
:32:04
...l, for one, have never
advocated passive anything.

:32:09
I'm with Mr. Jinnah.
:32:10
We must never submit to such laws...
:32:13
...ever.
:32:16
And I think our resistance must be
active and provocative.

:32:23
May I?
:32:26
I want to embarrass all those
who wish to treat us as slaves.

:32:31
Thank you.
:32:35
All of them.
:32:38
-Forgive my stupid illustration.
-Allow me.

:32:40
No, please.
:32:42
But I want to change their minds...
:32:44
...not kill them
for weaknesses we all possess.

:32:51
And what resistance would you offer?
:32:54
The law is due
to take effect from April 6.

:32:57
I want to call upon the nation...
:32:59
...to make that a day of
prayer and fasting.
