The main opposition Nepali Congress today decided to mark 11 Magh (25th January) as a black day, against the ruling party’s act of forcibly getting the National Medical Education Bill endorsed from Parliament.

The House of Representatives on Friday passed the bill despite the obstruction of House proceedings and sloganeering by Nepali Congress lawmakers. The NC is of the view that the bill was passed without giving the opposition a chance to discuss its provisions, and that it violated parliamentary and democratic norms.

Likewise, they have staged the torch rally around the area in Butwal, Bhairahawa, Sainamaina, Devdaha Khaireni, Tilotamma Manigranm, Lumbini and Dhadhaki
