2018-07-17

Nepal Students Union organised a demonstration, demanding the protection of Dr Govinda KC’s life, in Kathmandu today. The NSU organised a rally from Maitighar Mandala to New Baneshwor, demanding that government implement the report of the Mathema committee to address the demands put forth by agitating Dr KC. On the occasion, NSU Chairman Nainsingh Mahar said they opted for protest because the government violated citizens’ rights. As the NSU cadres tried to breach the prohibitory zone in New Baneshwor, a clash ensued with the police. Nearly a dozen of NSU cadres were injured in the clash. Meanwhile, Naya Shakti Nepal also staged the demonstration at Maitighar Mandala, demanding that the government begin the fiscal year from Baisakh, end asare bikas, cancel prohibitory zone, guarantee fundamental rights, and preserve culture and heritages. At the demonstration, Nayashakti Nepal leader Hishila Yami accused the government of fueling corruption and imposing price hike. She further blamed the government of trading education and health sector at the force of two-thirds majority. केपी ओली नेतृत्वको सरकारले अधिनायकवाद लाद्न खाजेको आरोप लगाउँदै नेपाली कांग्रेसको भातृ संगठन नेविसंघले मंगलबार राजधानीमा प्रदर्शन गरेको छ । सरकारले अधिकारको पक्षमा लडेको भनेपनि नागरिकको अधिकार खोस्न खोजेको, गोविन्द केसीको माग पूरा गर्न चासो नदिएकोलगायतका समेत लगाउँदै सरकारको विरोधमा नेविसंघले प्रदर्शन गरेको हो । माइतीघरमा भेला भएर नाराबाजीसहित संघीय संसद भवन नयाँ वानेश्वरतर्फ अघि बढेका नेविसंघका कार्यकर्ताले निषेधित क्षेत्र समेत तोड्ने प्रयास गरेपछि केहिबेर दुई पक्षीय झडप समेत भएको थियो । सो क्रममा प्रहरीले लाठीचार्ज गर्दा केहि नेविसंघका कार्यकर्ता घाइते समेत भएको बताइएको छ । पछिल्लो समय सरकार विरुद्ध कांग्रेस र उसका भातृ संगठन सरकारविरुद्ध आक्रामक रुपमा प्रस्तुत हुँदै आएको छ । कांग्रेसले केहिअघि बैठकबाटै सडक र सदनबाट सरकारविरुद्ध आक्रामक रुपमा प्रस्तुत हुने नीतिसहितको निर्णय गरेको थियो ।
