2020-12-26

Madhes, Parsa, Birgunj

Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP) staged a torch rally after the Parsa police on December 25 intervened in the burning of effigies of President Bidyadevi Bhandari and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. As the pre-arranged program of holding the rally from 5 pm on December 25 was not possible, they staged the torch rally on December 26 and ended at the clock tower and turned into a corner meeting.

Tensions were high for Parsa police after a rally was taken out from all sides in the Ghantaghar Bazaar area. The leaders of JSP said that they have made such a strategy to deceive the police.
