Our socio-economic, socio-cultural, the historical trajectory we’ve taken is that we are changing our democracy gradually,” he said. “People believe that when you have the ballot box; you elect your leaders, you change them frequently, voila, democracy. “So, indeed, the ballot does not stop the bullet, that’s one of my principled things I’m leaving with you today.
