The Rastriya Janata Party-Nepal (RJP-N) has claimed that two of its activists were beat up by Nepali Congress (NC) cadres in Janakpur on Friday night. In a statement issued on Saturday, the RJP-N Dhanusha chief Sanjaya Singh said the NC supporters led by its mayoral candidate thrashed two RJP-N activists at Bidhyapati Chowk. He also accused the NC cadres of vandalising the RJP-N election publicity office. However, NC mayoral candidate in Janakpur Sub-metropolis Manoj Kumar Sah denied any wrong doing. “It is just a conspiracy to defame me,” he said. (PR) राजपा कार्यकर्ताले कौडेना गाउँपालिका–१ को वडाध्यक्षमा कांग्रेसबाट उम्मेदवारी दिएका मनोज साहलाई आक्रमण गरी घाइते बनाएका छन् । साहमाथि बिहीबार राति आक्रमण भएको हो । घरदैलो कार्यक्रम सकेर फर्कँदै गर्दा राजपा कार्यकर्ताले साहमाथि लक्ष्मीपुरमा आक्रमण गरेका थिए । आक्रमणमा घाइते भएका साहको जिल्ला अस्पताल मलंगवामा उपचार भइरहेको छ । उनको अनुहार र निधारमा चोट लागेको आफन्तले जनाएका छन् । आक्रमणमा संलग्न भएको आरोपमा सोही ठाउँका रामविनय साहलाई पक्राउ गरिएको जिल्ला प्रहरी कार्यालयका प्रहरी निरीक्षक चन्द्रभूषण यादवले जानकारी दिए । आक्रमणमा संलग्न अरू फरार रहेकाले खोजी भैरहेको उनले बताए । राजनीतिक कारणले साहमाथि आक्रमण भएको हुन सक्ने उनको भनाइ छ । घटनाको अनुसन्धान भइरहेको प्रहरीले जनाएको छ । सर्लाही कांग्रेस सभापति नागेन्द्र रायले घटनाको सत्यतथ्य छानबिन गरी दोषीलाई पक्राउ गर्न माग गरेका छन् ।
