According to her, politicians often use such protests to tarnish the image of the sitting government, particularly in the lead-up to elections.

In a video shared on her TikTok handle, Vim Lady stated that politicians tend to mobilise individuals to stage demonstrations to sway public opinion against the ruling party during election periods. "I support the idea that the police should grant bail to the Democracy Hub demonstrators because they should be aware of the modus operandi of protests, especially in an election year.
