In tears, the senator admitted:
"It has come to a time when we cannot but speak the truth, irrespective of sentiments we may share.
"Today, Mr. President, all of us are being threatened, our families, our nation, our friends...there comes a time when talk will be talk itself. There comes a time when truth becomes like a torchlight in the midst of silence, so you are forced to talk.
"Mr. President, we need not run away from the fact that more than any time in the history of our nation, this is the worst instability we are facing."
