If not Face Book and other social media, MR would have still been in the power and you guys are still functioning as the back benchers of the opposition. Because so much false propaganda against MR was carried out, using social media. So, it is your duty lift the ban as a gratitude.

It was said 72 hours, Today Morning, Tommorrow Morning and now it's on Friday morning. People will lose the trust if you guys keep on changing the words.

I good lesson to social media. They now understood the requirements of controlling. Freedom of expression per say can not destroy a nation. In this case social media actually damaging the democracy.
