They also said that the current government has taken on the responsibility of running the state as a result of the anti-discrimination student movement. As a result, it is the moral responsibility of this government to eliminate the existing discrimination in various fields.
It is the expectation of the common people that the current government will maintain competence, efficiency, and impartiality in fulfilling this responsibility.
