Rather than arresting the Minister and PM who have looted the public money and continue to do so, Police is arresting students protesting the corruption and demanding an end to it!!!!

Let the kids go free, it's just a slogan. These kind of behaviour will obviously increase day by day. If the ministers can't stop the slogans then stop their speaches.
