I don't know to hate

People have increased remembering me in recent days. I was told that some people had come and remembered me here as well. Wherever I go, they follow and get abused by police and people. I would have told police to allow them inside If I had known it earlier. I thought to discuss with them. Because we do not know to hate and quarrel. We know to talk. But what to do if they are not ready to listen, he asked.
