Any unwarranted arrests from now on will be done under the guise of the Prevention of Terrorism act. One does not have to be Nostradamus to foresee violence on the streets, if the government keeps subjugating people’s Democratic rights.

Are you a relative of Harak or Ooru kata? Police is now doing a job, they could not do under former rulers, because of close links or relationship. Let the Police do their job.
