CPN (UML) affiliated National Youth Association of Nepal and ANNFSU District Committee Saptari jointly staged a torch rally at Jana Andolan Chowk in Rajbiraj on August 18 against the divisive ordinance to split the political parties. They accused the government of bringing the ordinance with the intention of providing a legal basis for splitting the party and warned to retaliate through agitation in the coming days if it is not withdrawn.
