I think there's so much amount of hypocricy at play both from the PPRC, the police and the ONS as a whole...where were they when so much hate speech was prolificating the entire nation as well as in the diaspora from supporters of the main opposition party and still is on-going and yet no action has been taken on these perpetrators nor any press releases coming from any of these bodies. Why now?

PPRC should also hold themselves responsible for all the hatred that is being going on in our country. There are people from the opposition party, including their leader, who have been carrying out their hate speech all along towards another political party and the country. Neither PPRC nor the police or any other security party took action(s) against them. This is what is causing every "donkeys" to now think they can do the same and get away with things. Please, to you the PPRC in general, can you also take up the case against these people, especially in the diaspora, who are threatening our country every now and then to bring them to justice wherever they reside? This will be for the peace and tranquility of our country.
