English Summary:
Durga Prasai, campaigner for the “Nation, Nationality, Religion, Culture and Citizen Protection” movement, visited a squatter settlement in Kathmandu on Saturday and announced that he will fight against Balen Shah, the mayor of Kathmandu. According to reports, Prasai addressed a gathering of residents at the settlement and alleged that the mayor’s policies were harming their rights and livelihoods.
While full details of Prasai’s exact demands were not immediately disclosed, his statement signals an escalation in his confrontational posture toward local municipal leadership. The government had previously invited Prasai for talks amidst concern that his movement could destabilize public order.
If you’d like, I can pull up additional reactions from Mayor Balen Shah or municipal officials on this issue.
