Gota, send the army and assault these people. The chances are that they voted for you.

Why don't the government have the center in the parliament.

So sad. Our people have no empathy. When there was leprosy no one protested. And a monk among them too. Shame

No need for quarantine centre. Send the patients directly home. (SL logic)

You can protest now but after the election is won it will be too late because Gota's white van will come to pick you up for your final journey. Best of luck.

This was previously a center to house those effected by even worst decease: leprosy. Then nobody protested. I am ashamed that even catholic priests are involved in the protest.

Why whats wrong with this decesion? Ignorant people protest for anything and every thing. Some comments here are no better.
