According to him, “It will be a disservice if the report is thrown into the dustbin by the President. Such a report cannot be wished away. We will appeal to our President who is the father of the nation and the number one citizen to have a second look and summon the courage to pick up the report and make use of those aspects that can make the country move forward.
