"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as much as I understand the motivation behind the riots, that accidents had been taking place there and the Government had not responded by putting up bumps, that is not a good excuse to allow villagers to block the main highway. It can cause problems for everybody. In fact, it can cause more accidents than the ones they were protesting against. So, that is why the police did what they are empowered to do under the law, to safeguard the security of the general public by opening up the road. The police only used teargas to disperse the crowd and open the road. If they had demonstrated elsewhere without blocking the road, the police would have even given them security in that direction. Once they block a public road, then they cross the limits of their rights that are provided in the Constitution."
