We have witnessed various kinds of movements in our country from time to time. But the sad truth is that most of the protests are registered in a chaotic, violent manner. When examine the issue closely, then it seems that the movement is not for establishing the rights of common people, but for destroying the country in the name of a movement. The agitating parties are actually going on the rampage. A few days ago when some supporters of a political party were demonstrating for getting regular supply of electricity, gas and water, they smashed vehicles on the roads to give vent to their anger. This was not the only incident in recent times which gave a clear picture of lawlessness associated with movements.

Our garment sector is also facing such a situation. It is not clear why people have to destroy properties while demonstrating. What right do they have to cause harm to others?
