The public is invariably exploited by politicians. The mother country, the cow, has been used as a horse to bear the politicians’ sins. The peace, Stupa, is broken. A symbol of culture, the living goddess is shocked. The leaders, predatory lions, lurk around the mother cow. There is constant exploitation by venal politicians in the name of the public.
