According to him, it is unfortunate that the children, considered minors were mobilized to participate in the protest against bad governance and economic hardship in the country.

The former lawmaker and civil rights crusader in a statement on Friday said, ” The arrangement of those minors for their participation in protest is most unfortunate and shameful for our country’s democracy.”
