The woman said, “I got a pass and entered the gate of the secretariat at around 1.48 pm. Officially, I have tried to meet the senior leaders, but they have not listened to me. Today, I wanted to tell them not to support a criminal or protect me. Hence, I raised slogans that the government can continue torturing me but they cannot buy me or suppress me.”
