A different type of agitation

The private university students rejoiced and expressed their satisfaction after the government revoked the 7.5 percent VAT on private universities. With the slogan “No Vat on Education,” the students continued their movement showing great patience. What is remarkable is that not a single car or any other establishment was damaged during the movement. Their non-violent movement has created an example to be followed by all.
