Why they did they intervene main opposition party lead peaceful protest?
So far the opposition party didn't make any troubles while making protests. But we see police supporting Government lead protests (Fun thing- the culprits complaining).

How many civilians and protestor got injured? Those are the statistics we need. Not of the police that dance to the tune of the rulers.
