Kathmandu, December 10
The main opposition party, Nepali Congress, has decided to stage demonstrations in major cities and towns of Nepal coming Monday against the government.
A meeting of the party’s central officials in Kathmandu on Thursday has urged leaders and cadres across the country to participate in the demonstration, says the party spokesperson Bishwa Prakash Sharma.
The party is demonstrating to protest the detention of senior leader Ram Chandra Paudel in his home district last week, the government apathy in the Covid-19 response and alleged corruption in the purchase of medical equipment a few months ago.
The demonstrations will be held in all 77 districts of the country.
The party’s joint general secretary Prakash Sharan Mahat says the party will continue such demonstrations across the country after Monday also.
