Kathmandu, April 20
Medical education reform activist Dr Govinda KC and fringe party in Province 3, Bibeksheel Sajha Party, have protested the government decision to restrict protesters and demonstrators from Maitighar Mandala of Kathmandu.
Just few days back, the District Administration Office had prohibited demonstrations in the area along with few other places. The Office had instead fixed seven other open spaces for protests and demonstration programmes.
The government had argued that those places were restricted from demonstrators so as to ensure smooth traffic movement in the city.
But, issuing different statements today, Dr KC and Bibeksheel Sajha said the government decision was against values of democracy, therefore called for its withdrawal.
Dr KC has even called his supporters to disobey the decision if the government does not correct it on time.
