(Translation: Today this happened, what will happen tomorrow?)

"Think. Government should for sometime in evening open all licensed liquor stores. Don't get me wrong. Man will be at home only what with all this depression, uncertainty around. Cops, doctors, civilians etc... need some release. Black mein to sell ho hi raha hai (It is already being sold in black) (sic)," Kapoor wrote.

"State governments desperately need money from excise. Frustration should t add up with depression. As it is everyone is drinking so legalise it hypocrisy. My thoughts," he said in ar post.
