In case of failure of government in this it will have to face more serious  and broder protests.

 The speakers strongly emphasised that this action of Ludhiana administration to impose 144 without any reason and that too for unlimmited time is a serious violation of the supreme court rulings. Some speakers emphasised that it is violative of democratic rights and constitutional rights of people. The Punjab Goverment which came with a promise to protect rights of people is instead working on sneakingly is trying to impose such laws which will make Punjab a police state, which is strongly condemned. When the policies of governments are such as to create inequality and  hence putting people into great distress .
