Do not let your emotions carry you and cause you to react violently towards the authorities, and towards others,” he added.His Eminence Malcolm Cardinal Rajith said the government must change its ways and listen to the voice of the people to ensure democracy functions in the proper way, and the request by the people for change is implemented.
