Chairperson, that area as it was also mentioned back then, was a liberated area.  The comrades were in full control of this area.   The people could possibly have stayed there and if 400 or 500 of a crowd had come down on them, and they shot another 100 people, then the next question would have been don't we have to withdraw now.  For this reason, when I went to the police station that morning, we waited there for reinforcements, we went in a group, we did not go there as individuals to the scene.
