Game of thrones

Published December 16, 2020

SINCE the 1990s, the game of overthrowing the elected government is being played with irritating consistency. The opposition parties that used to oppose each other in the past have now united to topple the current government.

This must be stopped now. The opposition parties, which are busy these days in agitation and holding rallies against the government, should refrain from this activity, for this is polarising our society and is against the national interest.
