Dozens of individuals including Dr Govinda KC's sympathizers and Bibeksheel Sajha Party activists staged a protest demonstration at Maitighar Mandala in Kathmandu on Saturday. The demonstrators chanted anti-government slogans in protest against the decision to ban protest rallies at Mandala area.
The Supreme Court on Friday issued an interim order to the government to not implement its decision of banning protests at public spaces including Maitighar Mandala.
The protestors also demanded the government address the demands raised by Dr Govinda KC, who has been staging his 15th hunger strike in Jumla against the changes made in Medical Education Bill.
Senior Orthopaedic surgeon and anti-corruption crusader Dr KC has been staging an indefinite hunger strike in Jumla since last Saturday.
Despite the protest against the changes in Medical Education Bill, Minister for Education, Science and Technology Giriraj Mani Pokhrel on Friday registered the bill without addressing the concerns raised by the orthopaedic surgeon.
