2011-11-09

Various organizations have staged a sit-in near the southern gate of Singha Durbar on Wednesday, demanding action against lawmaker Bal Krishna Dhungel. The sit-in was jointly organized by Conflict Victims´ Society for Justice, National Struggle Committee of the Nepal Association of Maoist Victimized, Conflict Victim Orphan Society and Civil Rights Activists. Participants of the sit-in had carried placards reading different slogans like ‘take action against murderer lawmaker Bal Krishna Dhungel’, ‘implement the Supreme Court´s decision’ and so on. Sabitri Shrestha, sister of the murdered Ujjan Kumar Shrestha, said they staged the sit-in as the government attempted to protect Dhungel, who is accused of murdering Ujjan Kumar, by giving political color to the SC´s decision, and warned to go to the international court for justice if it is neglected. Father of the deceased, Rameswor Shrestha and mother Ram Kumari Shrestha were also present in the program.
