KATHMANDU, Sep 6: The Nepal Students Union under the Nepal Congress has demanded the resignation of Home Minister Narayankaji Shrestha condemning the fatal attack on the party's Deputy General Secretary Mahendra Yadav.

The Chairman of the Union Dujang Sherpa issued a press release that stated - "It is reprehensible that someone like a former minister of the Nepalese government should be attacked with a sharp weapon in broad daylight in a public place. We strongly condemn this incident. This incident has confirmed that the Home Minister, who is responsible for protecting the lives of ordinary citizens and maintaining peace and security in the country, has failed completely."

"We also demand the resignation of the worthless Home Minister who cannot even protect someone of the calibre of a former minister in a public place in the Capital", said the Student Union.

The Student Union has wished for the swift recovery of leader Mahendra Yadav who was injured in the attack. It has also demanded a thorough investigation and strict action against the parties involved in the attack.
