Prachanda and Madhav Nepal to hold a sit-in at Maitighar today

KATHMANDU: The Prachanda-Madhav Nepal faction of the CPN, which is protesting against the dissolution of the House of Representatives, has continued its week-long sit-in at Maitighar ahead of a power demonstration in Kathmandu.

Central Member Bishnu Rijal informed that Presidents Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda and Madhav Kumar Nepal will also participate in the sit-in today.

A faction of the divided CPN has been staging a sit-in at Maitighar Mandala for the past four days. Members of the National Assembly, State Assembly and both the Constituent Assemblies, including members of the dissolved House of Representatives, have been participating in the sit-in.

Prachanda Madhav’s party has also held provincial public meetings in the meantime. Prachanda has warned to take action against KP Oli if the court does not re-establish the House of Representatives.
