CPN (Maoist Center) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has appealed to the teachers to continue their protest.

He was speaking at a program organized on the occasion of the 77th establishment day of the Nepal Communist Party.

Saying that the government has betrayed the teachers time and again in the past, the former Prime Minister urged them to continue their agitation.

“I would like to appeal to the teachers to continue their protest with patience. You have protested repeatedly and have been cheated over and over again. It is the responsibility of all of us to prevent that from happening this time,” Dahal said.

He accused Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli of insulting the protesting teachers instead of addressing their demands.

“The teachers have been staging protests for the past two weeks. Instead of addressing their demands, the Prime Minister leading the government has been insulting them,” Dahal said, adding, “He accused Prime Minister Oli of turning a blind eye to their plight.”
