Sanghiya Samajwadi Forum Nepal leader Ashok Kumar Rai has demanded the government immediately release his party’s Central Committee member Ang Kaji Sherpa.

Sherpa was arrested from Bouddha in the Capital on Wednesday for making provocative statements in social media sites.

Speaking at a meeting of Legislature-Parliament on Thursday, lawmaker Rai said the government has been repressing the people who have taken to the streets demanding the implementation of past agreements in order to promulgate a progressive constitution.
