    So the argument that government is using Grease Devils to prolong the state of emergency becomes invalid. But now how will the government control the Grease Devil riots? I think without the state of emergency they cannot deploy forces and arrest people without warrants. Really we are eager to know what is the difference now without the state of emergency.

    What is the difference between Emergency and PTA? After removing emergency law, they could strengthen the PTA by including the emergency law provisions, this is an eye wash
