Govt urged to let parties hold rallies

Government has been called upon to demonstrate political will to ensure that all parties are given the opportunity to hold rallies in the country.

Political analyst Joseph Chunga says what happened when Democratic Progressive Party-DPP interim president Professor Peter Mutharika was stopped from holding whistle stop rallies yesterday is a sign that politicians do not observe the rule of law.

Mr. Chunga says for democracy to grow in the country, politicians should bury past mistakes and be willing to accommodate and tolerate each other.
