Kathmandu, July 25
Nepali Congress General Secretary Shashanka Koirala says his party will launch a ‘jihad’ against autocracy of the incumbent government. He has called all leaders, cadres and supporters of the main opposition party to stand united against the government’s anti-democracy activities.
Speaking at a function organised on the occasion of BP Memorial Day in Kathmandu on Wednesday, he also urged journalists loyal to the party to write and speak about the government’s undemocratic activities freely and fearlessly.
Recalling that some cadres of the party’s youth wing, Nepal Tarun Dal, were attacked by the government few days back, Koirala said all such attacked would be countered.
Speaking at the function, the party’s Vice-President Bimalendra Nidhi accused the government of carrying out activities against values and sentiments of the constitution.
Nidhi also vented ire over the government for suppressing protest programmes launched by the party and its sister organisations.
