KATHMANDU, AUG 16 -
Cutting across party lines, leaders paid glowing tributes to Constituent Assembly member Ram Kumari Yadav, who died in course of treatment in a New Delhi hospital on Saturday.
Caretaker Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal, Constituent Assembly (CA) Chairman Subas Nembang, Home Minister Bhim Rawal, other ministers, Maoists leaders, leaders of other political parties and CA members paid floral tributes to the deceased lawmaker at the UCPN (Maoist) party headquarters in Parisdanda where her body was kept.
Maoist secretary CP Gajurel said Yadav’s demise was a great loss for the Maoist party and revolution. “She was a source of inspiration for us.”
Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal draped the party flag over her body. Her last rites will be performed in her home district, Dhanusha.
She was admitted at Safdarjung Hospital in the Indian Capital, where she succumbed to her injuries. Yadav was referred there for further treatment after 70 percent body burn injures due to a fire sparked by gas leakage in her kitchen. Yadav was airlifted to Delhi for treatment through an air ambulance on Saturday. She was elected to the CA from Dhanusha Constituency 6.
