Home Ministry raises objections on the use of combat dress in YCL rally

The Home Ministry has raised strong objections on the use of combat dress by some cadres of Young Communist League (YCL) in rallies taken out by YCL and pro-Maoist students protesting against Nepal Students Union (NSU).

Issuing a statement on Tuesday evening, the Ministry has said that wearing combat dresses and demonstrating them in public are a clear violation of peace agreement.

The Ministry has asked the Maoists and its sister organisations to immediately stop demonstrating combat uniforms and creating terror in the public.

The Ministry has warned of strong action against anyone found violating this provision, which is mentioned in the peace agreement.

Meanwhile, police have arrested 46 cadres of YCL and All Nepal National Independent Student Union (ANNISU-Revolutionary) from different places in the capital on Tuesday. The cadres wearing combat dresses and carrying weapons were arrested. Police have also confiscated two vehicles from YCL possession, 28 khukuris, and six iron rods from them.

Clashes had occurred between cadres of ANNISU-R, YCL and NSU in different places on Tuesday. The clash ensued as NSU protested against attack against its cadres in Thapathali campus on Monday. nepalnews.com sd Aug 15 07
