Nepali Congress CA member Minendra Rijal today urged differently-abled people not to launch hunger strikes yet.
He met the agitating party, on behalf of Prime Minister Sushil Koirala after they served the government a 10-day ultimatum to fulfil their demands before they launched a fast-unto-death, yesterday. “The prime minister is positive about the demands of differently-abled people. He urged them not to opt for fast-unto-death,” Rijal said.
After their frequent protests to draw the government’s attention to ensure their representation in the Constituent Assembly went in vain, seven differently-abled persons under the coordination of National Federation of the Disabled-Nepal have been staging a relay hunger strike near Bhadrakali temple for the last eight days.
They have demanded four seats, including two for females in the CA, when the Cabinet nominates 26 members.
They have threatened to go for fast-unto-death if their demands are not fulfilled within the given time.
