Kathmandu, December 16
The state of six ‘jana-andolan’ victims who were staging a fast on to death in Maitighar is getting worst every day.
Out of the six, Mangal Singh Praja from Makwanpur and Til Chandra Kami from Bardiya have fainted due to lack of care and the cold weather.
The six were all injured during the Maoist insurgency and are demanding free medication from the government.
“We gave a lot during the fight to make Nepal a republic. We lost our limbs during the war. But now we have to beg the government to take care of us,” says Sangram Kami who argues that the communist party in power has done nothing for them.
Though the fast on to death they have demanded the release of their coordinator Yuvaraj Bishwakarma and want all injured during the war to be recognised properly. Their demands also include job opportunities for the injured and free education for all their children.
