Now they are trying to implement terror tactics to frightens citizens of the country again after the war. It is illegal and violation of fundamental rights which has granted for every citizen of the country. People have right to travel, move, stay or go anywhere under freedom movements of the constitution. Those who violated the constitution must be dealt with severe punishments under next administration. Wilm see
