The Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) (UML) has expressed serious concern over an incident in which activists of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) allegedly burned its election symbol ‘Sun’ flag in Tulsipur, Dang, on Thursday night.
UML Central Publicity Coordinator Min Bahadur Shahi issued a statement today condemning the act. The statement said that the chanting of offensive slogans against party chairman KP Sharma Oli and the incident occurring in the hometown of UML General Secretary Shankar Pokhrel constitute a criminal act against the state, the people, democracy, and the Constitution.
The UML has demanded legal action against those involved in the incident.
