Kathmandu, November 30. The National Independence
Campaign is organising a human chain from the government secretariat,
Singha Durbar, to the United Nations Complex in Pulchok in its bid to
internationalise the Indian blockade against Nepal.
It has appealed all people to take part in the protest by sporting the national flag from 2 pm till 3 pm.
The protest has the slogan: Let’s protest blockade, violence and impunity. Let’s protect national independence.
Campaign leader and CPN-UML Central Committee Member Thakur Gaire
said: We are trying to link Singha Durbar with the United Nations in a
bid to internationalise the crisis that Nepal’s been facing due to the
blockade. The idea is to deliver the message that we are capable of
solving internal problems.”
Human rights camapigner Subodh Pyakurel, UCPN-Maoist leader Krishna
KC and CPN-Masal leader Krishna Adhikari have expressed solidarity with
the protest. Writers, poets, artists, intellectuals, students and youth
leaders will take part in the demonstration.
Campaigner and film director KP Pathak told Online Khabar that the
people-centric protest will highlight hardships that Nepalis have been
facing due to the India-imposed blockade that has violated a landlocked
country’s right to transit.
Pathak said they will submit a memorandum to the United Nations
Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon through the UN Complex about problems
Nepal has been facing due to the blockade.
