Protests continue over killing of two youths

The agitators have continued their protests over the killing of two youths allegedly by Maoist-affiliated YCL cadres on Friday also.

Despite the assurances by Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Bamdev Gautam to form a judicial probe committee and provide compensation to families of victims, the agitators have said they would continue with all protest programmes on Friday.

According to Kishore KC, chief of the local struggle committee formed to protest the killings of Nirmal Pant and Pushkar Dangol – who were abducted by YCL a month ago and whose bodies were found a few days ago – they will continue their protests until and unless the culprits are arrested and actions taken against them.

The protest called by the struggle committee has received backing from student unions like Nepal Student Union (NSU) and All Nepal National Free Students Union (ANNFSU).

Meanwhile, the representatives of the struggle committee DPM Gautam are expected to hold meeting on Friday as well in order to reach an understanding. nepalnews.com sd Nov 21 08
