Maoist Center’s Kathmandu-centric demonstration postponed

CPN (Maoist Center) has postponed the Kathmandu-centric demonstration scheduled for November 8.

The Maoist Center said that it had to postpone the demonstration due to the earthquake in Jajarkot and Rukum.

Earlier on November 5, a meeting of the Maoist Center had decided to stage a demonstration in Kathmandu to protect and strengthen the federal democratic republic, national sovereignty and against regression.

At a time when the government's ruling party, the Maoist Center, is being widely criticized for announcing to stage a demonstration in Kathmandu, the party has postponed the program for now citing the earthquake among other reasons.

The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) had said that the party leading the government cannot stage the demonstration.
