The convener of the protest said:
"Pots are empty, plates are empty and the stomach is very empty! Bang your pot at home, don’t let hunger kill you at home because of their greed, corruption and incompetence."
The protest is directed to the President for forcing people to stay home and yet refusing to provide them food and basic life necessities to stay alive.
