Immediate zero tolerance for all racial and religious politicking

18 Mar 2023

Patriot is deeply concerned with the ongoing political pressures mounting on the legitimate government of the day.

The heightened spiking using racial tones and religious aggravation is something that has not stopped since November, when the 10^th prime minister was installed.

Patriot takes painful stock of the fact that certain leaders of political parties are pushing ahead with gatherings that are aimed at inflaming the hearts of specific groups of people.

We demand an immediate stop to all the spiralling, destabilising tricks employed by certain quarters that go against the grain of national peace, racial harmony and religious tolerance and acceptance.
