What do you mean by unpopular or controversial law?

● At times the Parliament passes laws which turn out to be very popular and supported by the citizens of the country.

● The people might feel that it is unfair and harmful to their sentiments.

● The people might criticize it by holding public meetings, reporting to the TV channels and writing on social media.
