Listen, today the government must decide...
...either they let us go...
...or they keep humiliating us this way.
And if humiliation it is, we will die here today.
Ad hoc teachers... - Want tenure!
Until teachers are troubled...
There will be war. - What's in the bag?
Tea and samosas.
Tea and samosas? Who is that for?
The person who is in the conference.
The people on hunger strike? You will feed them?
Do you want us to get into trouble?
Give me that! Get lost.
We will only do it once and then...
What are you doing?
How dare you touch him?
Ma'am, go and sit there.
Or you will go to the police station too.
She is going. - Touch me if you dare.
You hit a woman despite being a cop!
Greetings, dad. - Greetings, dear.
Dad, check up on my computer, first.
Let me take that. - What is going on with you, Salma?
Your dad just retired and got home and you just want your computer!
Go in and make him some tea.
Is the party over?
The party is over, I am retired.
So, did you speak to them about working privately?
They are letting me go after retirement...
...and should I talk to them about a private job at a party?
Do you listen to what you say, Nusrat?
Your energy is dipping.
Salma, get some glucose and biscuits with it.
His sugar is dangerously low.
Nobody here understands.
They don't hire a maid, since they have me.
Where were you? - There was a death in his family.
He went to another city.
The door was locked. The neighbours told me.
This is all your fault.
She will taunt me, now. - Who will?
This is your last month.
Finish your work and get lost. You've hassled me enough.
What kind of nation is this?
What kind of place is it where girls are hit on the street?
Who do you think we are?
We will grind our bones to dust in families for marriage and homes.
And on the streets for honour and jobs...
Listen to me, Government.
This won't do. We won't give in!
But you attacked the cop. - Did I?
What did he do?
The money we pay as taxes pay for their salaries.
And they accuse us?
They even hit me with a stick.
But you made the cop bleed too.
What else could we do?
Either make them bleed or bleed ourselves.
Don't imagine this nation's women are helpless.
Do you think that this...
...parade we conduct...
...for alliances...
...that means we have no honour?
We have woken up.
Now there won't be any parade.
How long do we keep taking rejection?
Why should we listen to it?
Why is it decided whether we will get married or not?
The parameters being...
...you will get married if you weigh this much.
If your complexion and height is such, if you are educated so much.
If your father does this, or you live in such a locality.
Aren't we human beings?
Isn't the nation responsible for us?
Don't we have any honour?
Don't we have lives of our own?
Do we or don't we?
But this protest is about Ad hoc teachers...
...and them getting tenure.
Move.
Come to the police station and make the rest of your speech.
You are charged...
...with assaulting a cop.
Let's go! - Wait!
Hey! Wait! - Where are you taking her?
Let her go! - Let me go!
Why are you taking me? - Wait.
What did I do?
Take her away.
Where are you taking her? - You can't take her.
Come on! - You beat us!
Then you take us into prison!
Come on!
Turn around! - Don't touch me.
I will get in myself.
Let go.
Shoot it! Take the shot.
Okay. - Shut up!
Outside Karachi Press Club...
...speaking about the Ad hoc issues...
...the police have been cruel bullies and this is an example...
...that has made the women of Pakistan proud.
The images you are watching...
...are outside Karachi Press club...
...showing the skirmish between the cops and the Ad hoc teachers.
With cameraman Jalil Alvi, this is Naveed Khan...
...Four News, Karachi.
Salma. Is there anything to eat?
Shazia was supposed to cook. She isn't back yet.
What is that about? So we come home to no food?
Okay...
...give me rotis with yesterday's curry.
I am making tea for dad now.
Give me biscuits with tea, then.
They made me lose my mind today.
Look, under an Interim placement police...
...this PNG is given.
Mostly, we have this.
Mom, I am going to Nazia's place.
Why are you going there?
We got an assignment for the college. She has the notes.
I will be back soon.
Call Shazia.
Find out where she is.
Isn't she back home yet?
She isn't back home yet but Tanzeel is with her.
I am not worried so much.
Still, let's ask.
Mom, there is no balance. I will be back in 10 minutes. Bye!
Look at that!
She has no balance if I want to make a call.
Normally, she is talking to her friends for hours.
Eat your biscuits.
Here's the liquid glucose.
'And in the coming years...' - What is this?
'I came across...
...your ID.'
'And I liked it.'
'Please, add me.'
God, I hope she doesn't create a scene.
Hello. - Hello.
Is my computer okay? - It's getting done.
What is going on? It's still lying here. You're busy with your laptop.
I came to check an important mail...
...it's getting done. I'm working on it.
I will leave only once I have my computer.
Take as much time repairing it as you want.
I will sit here until then.
How did you get in?
It will take over an hour. Go home. I will send it once it is done.
You've been saying that since 2 days.
Repair it and give it to me, today.
Go, I will send it.
Sister, should I get you a cold drink?
- Mind your business! Cold drink. Go on.
'This news is from Karachi.'
You can't sit here at my shop. Please leave.
'According to the sources 'Muddahin' has been arrested.'
'Let us take some more updates from Raja Taarik.' - What?
'Yes, Raja. Speak up.'
'Outside the Karachi club...'
They took my sister!
'An example of crime...
...that has annoyed Pakistani women.'
'Nadia, the visuals that are on the screens now...
...are of the fight between...
...Karachi Nationals and Law teachers.
'You can see...'
The entire family is quirky!
Isn't that right?
This is all your fault. - What?
'Let's tell you an important news from Karachi.'
'Outside the defence club...' - This is Shazia.
'An example of... - Why did the police nab her?
...crime that has now...
...held the heads of Pakistani women... - I told you not to let her go.
...these visuals... - But you never listen to me.
The procession wasn't so huge.
This was a protest and hunger strike.
Everybody goes for that! - 'The hunger strike camp...
...has been attacked by Police.' - You are right. I should have stopped her.
'They have defaced women.'
'Let's wait...' - You've shamed us.
'She faced them...' - Shazia, what did you do?
'And beat up two policemen.'
She attacked a cop!
'That you can see on the screens.'
She has an FIR against her. I am having a heart attack.
This is bad enough...
...why must I bear the agony of your heart attack?
A criminal act. - What is it, mom?
What is the noise about? - Look at this.
See what your sister has done! Just look.
'And for many years, we will hear...' - She is Shazia.
'The stories.' - What did she do?
I didn't do anything.
Why did the cops bring me here?
Ma'am, you attacked the cop.
I attacked them?
Your cops took away our tea and samosas!
Why don't you check the footage?
Listen, she attacked our men.
So I arrested her. All of you can go.
That is not possible. Arrest us, if you arrest her.
Of course. We won't go anywhere. We will stay right here.
Sir, you can't arrest a woman like this during a protest.
No matter what the situation...
...but you can't enforce the law yourself.
That's right, sir. We have the footage.
We will show. - I have the footage, sir.
I can show you where the fight began.
Bring the camera. - Let's see.
Look at this, sir.
Okay.
Sir, we told you the police started it.
Listen, no matter what happened...
...I would say, despite that...
...you can't enforce the law yourself.
The law can claim our tea and samosas, right?
We can enforce the law too!
Did you take the money? We will need it at the police station.
What is it? Why did you call me so suddenly?
Salauddin, Shazia was arrested!
Come with us to the police station.
Why was she arrested?
The police will tell us when we get there.
She even beat up a cop!
What a mess this is!
This retirement of yours has proved to be so ominous.
And that darn party?
I didn't go there to dance. I went to retire. Let's go.
Why did you go then?
Salauddin, listen to me. - Yes.
Greetings.
Congratulations, Nusrat!
Shazia is a leader now.
And every channel is showing her speech.
The locality is thrilled!
Don't cling to me! You're acting like a fly!
Get away. - Let's go. We are getting late.
What is wrong with the car?
What can happen? The battery is down since it's not been used.
I tell mom to let me drive the car, but no way.
She wants to save. Now bear the brunt of it.
Is that my fault, too?
Is it my fault the car doesn't run?
Is it my fault, your dad retired?
Your sister got locked up! Is that my fault?
Say that too! The locality is pleased, but...
...that is my fault, too!
What is this?
There we go. Doomed.
We need to push the car.
Do you want me to do it? - No, I will do it.
No, Salauddin!
Where are you going? Sohail is coming this way.
Ask him to push.
Why are you calling him for no reason?
He can't repair a computer. - Shut up!
Sohail! Please come for a bit, my friend.
Darn this family!
The entire family will ask me for the computer.
I will be back.
Greetings. - Greetings.
Can you please push the car?
It's not moving.
I am getting late. Pushing the car? I...
It's just a slight push. Then the car will start.
Do it!
Thank you.
Mom! Tell him about my computer.
Mom! - Your sister is in prison!
And you are fretting about your computer.
What is wrong with you?
This guy has no core strength.
Everyone would have to get down so he can push.
Get down, everybody. Sohail, we are getting out.
Go on, get out.
Easy, mom.
Take my hand. - Okay.
Take it easy. - Oh, no!
Get out! Why are you sitting in there? Come on.
Push it!
Come on.
Thank you, my son.
'Who do you think we are?'
'We grind our bones in homes for marriages and alliances.'
'And we are on the streets for jobs and honour...
...will we spend our life rolling flat bread here?'
'Will we spend our life serving our husband?' - She is so right!
Poor mothers spend the most part of their lives...
...trying to arrange marriages.
And the rest of their lives are spent on putting together a dowry.
She is a very brave and smart girl.
'And it didn't even matter.' - Sobiya, give me food!
We can't serve you, sir.
If there's a Shazia Sajjad in every family, everything will change.
'You attacked the cops?'
What is this you're watching?
'If I wouldn't have attacked...' - Do you know who she is?
'Don't consider the women as cowards.' - No matter who she is...
...she is a well raised child.
Well raised child?
I went to fit the UPS...
...and she is his elder sister.
They were asking for her about a proposal.
What? - Is she Salma's elder sister?
Who is Salma?
I told you so, mom.
It is a very smart family. I wonder what you were thinking.
What was she thinking?
What can I say? Ask mom. I am still young.
Mom? - 'It should be like that.'
Oh, she is the elder sister?
'Don't we stay here?'
'Don't we have any respect?'
'We don't have our own lives.'
'Do we or don't we?'
'The revolution has begun!' - See!
'And we will continue to do so.' - Well done, dear.
Sir, what do you have to say about the incident today?
What incident do you mean?
Shazia Sajjad famous social worker...
...was charged for attacking the police.
Shazia Sajjad? Who is she?
She is the teacher.
After you took the oath...
...the police attacked a girl, openly.
She is still in the police station.
Tell us what is she being punished for?
She was talking about the Ad hoc teachers...
...and their plight, which is their fundamental right.
I don't know anything about this matter.
If the police attacks a girl while I am in tenure...
...it is not acceptable to me.
Not if she is a social worker.
But, I am sure they had a reason.
The footage is on all the news channels...
...which shows these brutalities committed on the women.
The BBC just used this footage part of its news coverage.
BBC news?
Use this chance to your advantage, sir.
I hereby suspend you.
How dare you...
...treat women like animals in my tenure?
I order them to release Ms. Shazia.
And I am sorry.
Along with that, all the Ad hoc teachers...
...will be given tenure.
Long live...
Chief Minister!
I salute the efforts of all you ladies.
Wait. You can't go in right now.
There is VIP protocol in place inside.
That is our daughter in there.
Whoever she may be, don't you see the Chief Minister addressing the media?
I can't begin to tell you...
...how happy we are right now.
That's our Shazia!
Yes, it's our Shazia, mom.
That is my family, sir.
But why is she with the Chief Minister?
Why are they coming towards us?
Get out of the way. - Sorry about what happened today.
But I congratulate you for your brave daughter.
All credit to your upbringing of her.
I wanted to say that...
...we have ladies, who...
...can't study.
The government should provide facilities for them.
They should be provided ways to empower themselves.
You managed to convince them to...
...get Ad hoc teachers tenure.
What are you planning to do next?
Next, I plan to...
...speak up against the social disease...
...which I mentioned today...
...at the hunger strike during the skirmish...
...with the police.
I believe in this.
Our society and a woman's role in it...
...must be defined.
Our lives...
...are stuck between the kitchen...
...and the struggle to get married.
A woman's life isn't merely the veil...
...or the home.
There is much more in life.
'Yes. We don't need anyone for the kitchen.'
'Salma is here. She isn't married.' - Come on.
If the tea is ready, pour it in cups and bring it.
Everybody is waiting.
You take so long to do any thing!
'Yes, I always delay every task.'
'Everyone else does the work well in time.'
Life is not just the veil and the home.
I hope that...
...all the media coverage I got today...
...after this others will get up...
...and come forth to help us.
'If the computer had been working right now...
...I would send him a friend request.'
'And he would have accepted and answered me too.'
'He would have asked me something.'
'But, what would he ask?'
'I have poked her so many times in 2 days.'
'I sent her so many messages!'
'But no response.'
'Does she even see my messages?'
Shazia is a star!
Her news piece ran all night.
I called you so many times! You didn't receive them.
We were busy at the police station and I didn't notice the phone.
Shazia looked so good!
I had no idea she speaks so well!
Did you see how much the Chief Minister praised her?
He even said sorry.
My dad said, this is how you raise girls.
You all must have such a fine reputation now.
You will find your sisters will get married at once.
Who is it?
Hello, sister. - Greetings!
How have you come without me having to call you today?
I just had to since it's important news.
Do you have good news? Let's go in.
It must be good news.
But what happened to Shazia? - What?
What happened to her?
I got the proposal from Canada last month.
They liked her.
So then?
They told me to inform you on the phone yesterday afternoon.
I was calling but you didn't respond.
Yes, you must have seen the news...
...Shazia was on a hunger strike. We got busy with that.
That is so great!
Did they say yes?
That was yesterday afternoon.
When I went today the boy's mother hauled me over the coals.
It was horrifying.
What happened?
They saw Shazia on the news.
She recognised her. She said, you said she is simple.
She is the kind who hits men.
Why did you send her for the protest?
You can see how things are.
They were millionaires. She would have been in Canada in no time.
Now, they have clearly said no.
They want a homely girl to set up her husband's home in Canada.
Not some social worker type.
I told Shazia not to go.
But girls don't listen these days.
Do me a favour tell them...
...it wasn't Shazia.
What are you saying?
Shazia's name is in the media.
Her father's name is out there.
How can I tell them it's a mistake?
They saw your photos too.
And the media made a video about your house.
They saw that too.
Your daughters are so unlucky.
A very good prospect was lost at the last moment.
They are millionaires.
Do one thing. Let me speak to them once.
Let me tell them...
...that my daughters are very homely...
...and don't get involved in politics at all.
Go and tell them...
...they can't turn me down. I reject them!
She has a fever and her throat is sore.
She has pus in her ears and her nose is congested...
...and that's why she is talking nonsense.
You're talking nonsense.
Don't you have to go to school? Just go.
Mom! Be quiet.
You've made a mockery of us.
Aunt, don't get me any other proposals.
I don't want to listen to such people's talk.
They live in Canada and are imbeciles even now!
They don't want daughters-in-law from here.
They want maids. - They are millionaires!
They have nationality too!
What do I care about their millions or their nationality?
They fear that their daughter-in-law will speak.
They want a dumb girl...
...who won't call the police on the helpline in case of any issues.
She will sit at home and get scolded...
...and get beaten up. I'm leaving.
Don't ask me to get any more tea trays.
I am sick of frying kebabs.
I hate kebabs now.
She has a fever.
Excuse me!
I have been calling since so long you don't listen!
I am getting late for school.
I am glad you came.
Drop me to the school, please.
Sit down. Are you ok?
Are you in a bad mood?
Yes, I have been listening to all kinds of nonsense.
Nonsense? - Yes. Forget it.
I forgot to thank you.
What for?
You stood by me, yesterday.
You got beaten up and went to the police station.
People do so much for love.
So what if I did this?
Are you angry?
No. You didn't say anything to anger me.
You spoke about love and...
...the sacrifices people make for love.
I spoke about my love, too.
I haven't thought about that, yet.
But I may think about it now.
