A group called Independent National Campaign organized a symbolic crying protest in Kathmandu against the government on Saturday saying that the spirit and the soul of the constitution were dead. They organized the protest at Pashupatinath of Kathmandu after police intervened on their attempt to organize it at Maitighar Mandala.
Participants at the protest said that although the current constitution was relatively progressive compared to those in the past, it had failed to include provisions like the directly elected head of state, right to reject and recall and properly restructure the government structure.
