“For those who are agitating, and disagreeing, you first start by dialogue. No matter who they are, I will discuss with everybody so that you will know when to throw a line and say we’ve tried this and it’s not working,” he said.

Bandits are bandits, criminals are criminals. I’m going to deal with it decisively,” he said.
