    JO will do anything and everything to topple the government before their cases come in courts. Not sure who is worse between JO and GMOA. Think both are similar and with the same agenda, topple the government.

    Courts should also take notice of the illegal activities that is being carried out by JO, GMOA etc. Its time the courts stop giving bail to those who are arrested. Courts have the duty to safeguard the normal life of the citizens of the country. The citizens are put into difficulties by the actions of JO and GMOA.
