Voices of protest have been raised in every phase to tell the government its mistakes. Successful protests also took place, where the voice of the public was properly conveyed to the corridors of power. Attempts were also made to suppress them but could not suppress them. This kind of protest requires strong words, not sticks, stones or bombs, but the blows of which blow the soul of the person in front.
