A group called the National Unity Movement held a demonstration demanding the restoration of Nepal as a Hindu State in Janakpur on Saturday. The demonstration rally started from the railway station of Janakpurdham, went around different parts of the city and reached Janak Chowk, turning into a corner rally.

The campaign's vice-chairperson Sunita Sah said that the Madhesi, Adivasi Janajati and Dalit backward classes are deprived of the opportunity of federalism and were not against federalism.
