Kathmandu– Nepal Students Union (NSU) has protested what it called the police suppression on peaceful protests that it organised on Sunday.
The student organization close to the main opposition Nepali Congress party had held protests against the lower house of parliament pushing through and passing the National Medical Education Bill.
The NSU organised protests in front of various colleges in the capital this morning to denounce what it called ‘police suppression’ of its Sunday protests.
NSU president Nain Singh Mahar said the student union has organised the protests as the government passed the Bill on the back of two-thirds majority without addressing the demands of Dr Govinda KC, who is on a hunger strike, calling for making amendment to the Bill.
“The government has hit the students on a peaceful protest with truncheons and detained them, while turning a blind eye to spate of murder, violence, rape and corruption,” Mahar said.
