• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: 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.
