"Violence is neither a solution nor an answer to anything. Everyone should maintain peace. The government should also think about how to put an end to ideologies and people who incite people to fight," Pilot said.

He stressed that the government must prioritize law enforcement, governance, and public safety. "Law and order, governance and safety of people should be the priority for the government. It should take responsibility that such a thing is not repeated," the Congress leader said.
