They have a right to peaceful protests.
Can't they just sit at home and watch the television news like the rest of us?

Its about time we curb every blackmailing element in our country. This is a good news that Police are doing their job and putting such people who disrupt life of a common man behind bars
Who exactly ordered their arrest?
PTM demands are genuine, State shouldn't push PTM to corner.
They should be behind the bars.
