Civil servants continued to halt work in all government offices in Parsa district and have started to do the same in Bara district as well from Thursday to protest inaction against State Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives Karima Begam for slapping Chief District Officer (CDO) of Parsa.

They say they will continue to halt work in the government offices until the government agrees to take action against the erring minister Begam.

The civil servants affiliated to eight different unions had started their second phase of protest demanding action against the state minister from last week. They have warned that they will start a nationwide agitation if their demands go unfulfilled.

Parsa District Administration Office, customs office including many other government offices in Birgunj, the district headquarters of Parsa, remains closed due to the strike by civil servants.

Minister Begam had slapped Parsa CDO Durga Prasad Bhandari for disrespecting her by providing an old vehicle for her travel in the district some three weeks ago.

Following the assault, CDO Bhandari filed a case against Begam under Public Offence Act 2027 in District Police Office.

It was reported that the Parsa District Police Office had issued an arrest warrant in the name of minister Begum, but the Kathmandu Valley Police has been saying they have no knowledge of such a warrant.

Minister Begam had in a statement issued after the incident accused the irresponsible behavior of the CDO for her actions, but admitted it was 'unfortunate'. nepalnews.com

The minister Karina Begum must accept her fault and should apolosize before the public & the govt must bring her to the justice. Anonymous   |202.79.18.xxx |2009-11-26 06:30:23 It is unfortunate that common nepali people have to suffer from such bandhs, protests etc. Why cant the governement have strong bold decission to take action for any mis-conduct by any politician so that such agitation programs will not have to take place. Why is the PM so dumb and lame in this issue. Every person whether rich or poor, whether high profile or simple common public has his image. So PM learn to respect. Powered by !JoomlaComment 3.26
