KATHMANDU, DEC 21 - UCPN (Maoist) politburo member Hisila Yami on Monday claimed that her party is committed to make demonstrations peaceful on the second-day of its three-day general strike.
Accusing the government of using excessive force in yesterday’s demonstration at Naya Baneshwor, the Maoist leader claimed that her party cadres had depicted restraint.
Yami, who arrived here in Naya Baneshwor to take part in the party’s ongoing three-day general strike, said the party has not made any strategy of confrontation today though clashes ensued in yesterday’s protest programme due to the police oppression.
Naya Baneshwor area remained tense throughout the day yesterday with sporadic clashes between the police and the protesters as police tried to disperse the Maoist activists to clear the way for the Prime Minister’s arrival from Copenhagen Climate Summit.
The main opposition party, which has already commenced its third-phase agitation demanding the establishment of ‘civilian supremacy’, called for a three-day general strike from yesterday.
