You will be put in jail if you speak out against the government. That’s all. This is what happened to the direction. It is understood that we will have to face a similar situation one day.
However, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for opening the door against injustice. The direction does not like biological violence. she could not bear the idea of slaughtering cows. Moreover, she is against things like collecting milk from them and thinking of it as an object.
That is why she is working in a company set up with the intention of meeting such needs through plant products. Please listen to the young people this is my only appeal to the government. There is no need to arrest people like Disha. Talk to them once and see. Disha is not fleeing anywhere. She does not have such a shy mentality.” Vincent added Vincent.
