“I think it was not enough. He should've got more. In terms of what he's done, it's not much. That type of thing can't be forgiven. You have to be responsible for that. That's our way of life. If you said something, you have got to be responsible for your words. As for him, I have no clue what their way of life is here. They say anything they want.
