The donor may have done this in good faith, but he seems to lack the brains to comply with the guide lines introduced by the health authorities, specially social stancing which has resulted in the loss of three innocent lives. Money cannot buy brains. Guna.

What happened with keeping law and order? Gatherings are not allowed. Where was the police or armed forces to break up this gatherings? Nobody asks this question, well I do
