Demo continues protesting killing of two youths; YCL denies its hand
Students have continued demonstrations, Thursday, condemning the killing of two youths allegedly by cadres of Maoist-affiliated Young Communist League (YCL).
Students have demonstrated in Kalanki, Chabahel and Sorhakhutte, among other places, from Thursday morning.
Meanwhile, the Kathmandu district committee of Unified Marxist Leninist (UML) has called valley bandh on Thursday to protest the killings of its ‘two cadres.’
Two youths from Kathmandu – Nirmal Panta and Pushkar Dangol – who were abducted by Maoist-affiliated Youth Communist League (YCL) cadres a month ago on October 20, were found killed.
The relatives, rights activists and police found their dead bodies in Bhorlephant Bagar of Dhading district. The bodies of the two youths who hail from Syuchatar of Kathmandu were exhumed from a place where they had been buried.
This incident has sparked protest demonstrations in Kathmandu since Wednesday.
On the other hand, the YCL has flatly denied its hand in the killing. YCL chief Ganesh Man Pun said that he has no idea who abducted or who killed the two youths.
“Just because some people abduct by claiming themselves as YCL, does not mean they belong to us,” he said, disowning the people who abducted the two youths from Malekhu. nepalnews.com sd Nov 20 08
