Sanghiya Samajwadi Forum Nepal has said the Itahari protest was conspired by the government itself.
“Our serious attention has been drawn towards the vandalism of stage and obstruction of assembly in Itahari that was premeditated by the ruling CPN-UML by use of its cadres and students,” said SSFN Chairman and Madhesi Morcha’s spearhead Upendra Yadav in a statement on Friday.
Leader Yadav went on to pinpoint the ‘irresponsible, autocratic and undemocratic’ move of the UML-led government by imposing restrictions on citizen's rights to freedom of speech and organising peaceful assembly.
“The government that has been holding the country hostage of indecisiveness by staging drama of dialogues with agitating parties should immediately put stop to the anti-people activities,” reads the statement.
Saying that no untoward incident took place in Itahari due to restrained measures from the agitating side, leader Yadav opined that the government was itself aligned to inciting communal violence by tampering with the social harmony.
