Home Minister urges protesting side to abandon protest and help in investigation


Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs Rabi Lamichhane has urged the side which is on protest demonstration at the federal capital’s Maitighar to abandon the demonstrations and help in the investigation.

The site has been staging a series of demonstrations calling for justice for Nirmala Kurmi of Banke.

Reiterating that the government is sensitive regarding the incident related to Kurmi, the Home Minister informed that the Nepal Police’s Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) has been conducting an investigation into this incident by mobilising a special team. He urged the agitating side to abandon the sit-in and other protest programmes and help in the investigations.

The Minister shared that he phoned Rubi Khan, who is on a sit-in protest, two times since taking up his charge as a Minister and informed her that the government was serious regarding the incident and urged her to forsake the sit-in protest movement and support the police in finding out the culprits.

Earlier to this, the Home Minister on last Monday held a discussion on this with security high officials including Home Secretary Binod Prakash Singh and Inspector General of Police Dhiraj Pratap Singh and instructed the CIB to submit a report after finding out the facts and truth about the incident.
