PM: 'Never seen this thing...'
Geeta: 'We are making you, you have not made us. We eat our husband's. You are playing tricks on us. He said to be united, all of you should be united. He saved us.'
Prime Minister: 'Burning people like this is not a movement...nothing.
I have never seen this in my life. I have seen many agitations and struggles, but I have never seen ordinary people being burnt like this....'

Geeta: 'We want a good government...we don't want a sick government. We want good government…we don't want sick government…'
Prime Minister: 'It's the government's...'
Geeta: 'We don't want to raise our child sick. We don't want to be sick anymore. We want a good government. Why do they kill us? We did not harm them. We didn't do anything, we were going, we don't even know them. We don't even know Khaleda, we don't even go to Hasina. We live with each other's family, why do they kill us?...Didi, you judge them, judge them, no more is tolerated. How many people are here, we are all sick…., we are empty fire now, we are afraid of fire, we are afraid now when we see fire, it seems that fire is burning in front of me…., they do not understand our pain…'
