Violent protests
It is not the right way in which the garment workers are protesting against the declared minimum wages. It is extremely shocking for the whole nation that they vandalised a number of shops and lots of vehicles as part of their protest. Protest should never be violent and destructive causing a huge damage to public property. All demonstrators could have gathered in front of the relevant ministry to express their demands.
As these labourers have a prime contribution to our economy, the authorities must be aware of their needs. It is also important to introduce a new legislation to stop such harmful activities.
