Agitation and agony
The country has a history that shows that whenever there was a political or social crisis people would come on to the road to protest or agitate to fulfil their demands. In most of the cases the shows on the road would end up in peace with some negligible violence. In the Language Movement or the struggle for independence, the protestors were peaceful until the rulers turned extremely oppressive. There was no wanton violence. But the recent trend of agitation is becoming a matter of concern. These agitators are making it a point to make their presence felt by everyone through carrying out senseless destruction on public and private property. I support those fighting for their lawful rights, but that does not mean that you can do whatever you like.
