ScenarioThe local Government has increased the sales tax on electricity by 26%. The additional amount is imposed to generate revenue so that Government can pay off their debts. (Note: Government has raised a lot of debt for their own luxuries)
The sudden increase in taxes has caused a chaos everywhere and a group of people have decided to attack the Parliament and bring down the government(The protestors are backed up by the opposition party and they have got weapons too)
This increase in tax has raised concerns for the local people. They are in favor of the agenda protestors are carrying but they don’t want any violence. (Note: They need to protect the government or otherwise their life can be in immediate threat)
