[WATCH] NON CONDEMNATION OF MARCHERS and the DANGERS OF POPULIST RHETORIC
We have not accused the marchers of anything, all we are saying is what they should avoid such as the third force. We are not condemning them. But we will not sit back and allow wrong doing. We won’t allow dangerous populism to erode the good standing of our country. The government convened a meeting with NGOs to understand what are the issues and there was a good conversation. Government conveyed the message that it will not allow a state of lawlessness.
You cannot go on national TV and threaten violence. In a democratic state a person can criticise the government but no one can call for violence. We all still have the memory of the unrests.
