Kathmandu, February 7
Police on Friday arrested some leaders and cadres of the Sajha Party, who were staging a demonstration against the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority outside its office in Tangal of Kathmandu.
The emerging party had organised the protest claiming the commission’s Wednesday decision to indict 175 persons in connection with the Baluwatar land scam and spare some leaders of the ruling Nepal Communist Party including Bishnu Paudel and Madhav Kumar Nepal was politically biased.
The party demanded that the commission should not spare anyone involved in the case from the action.
Meanwhile, the main opposition Nepali Congress-aligned student union also staged a protest against the decision at Maitighar Mandala this afternoon.
