Saptari, January 22
Thursday’s killing of three people during a UDMF protest in Rangeli sparked protests in Saptari from Friday morning.
United Democratic Madheshi Front cadres staged protests in Saptari headquarters Rajbiraj, enforcing the closure of markets and educational institutions.
They have been shouting slgoans against the KP Oli government in Gajendra Chok, Jana Andolan Chok and Rupani Mod. Rajbiraj Bazaar, which had opened last week, has shut again after the Rangeli killings.
Kishor Kumar Yadav, president of the Sadbhavana Party-affiliated Students’ Forum, said they have no option except to intensify the Madhesh movement as the government has not stopped firing bullets against unarmed civilians.
We have shown flexibility, but the government has taken it as our weakness, he said, warning that their movement will be decisive.
