Mr. Attorney ... It's a small community.. Everyone has links with everyone else... Especially if they are well to do businessman or religious icons.. Does that mean you the knowledge of what an individual's plan or motive is.

There are web pages which employ youngsters to write negative comments on subjects related to timely issues like Covid and government rules and regulations.

Some people are spreading false news that the vaccine makes younger generation infertile. Government must address this issue immediately. Some are reluctant to get the vaccine because of this rumour.
