White Lies

It is very shameful for a minister to tell lies and then retract his announcement without the slightest regret.  Not only he, actually quite a number of those up there had expressed their belief that there were no such violation of laws on the part of the authority in the tear gas bomb and smoke bombs and water canon. If he was the scapegoat in the first place, just say so or else he has to resign for telling the white lies just like the Japanese ministers and other officers in various countries of the world. But it seems the thickskinned  ones would never apologize just to cling to his post!
