Sinister tactics

Crisis after crisis has been the fate of this hard earned country, which destabilised it politically, socially and economically. Democratic governments have worked for the benefits of the poor but have not allowed to complete their tenures and conspiracies have been hatched to block their way. Today, the same tactics are being repeated to weaken an elected democratic government.

This will not only add to the miseries of the common people but also further exacerbate economic problems. The state must tread cautiously and avoid using force against peaceful protesters and must engage them in substantive dialogue and address their genuine issues because democracy has historically always emphasised negotiation.
