Nepal Parliament
Nepal witnesses another round of protest over Oli's decision to dissolve Parliament
Kathmandu: Nepal Police used water cannons to disperse the protesting civil society members near the residence of Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli at Baluwatar on Monday, media reports said.
Several people were injured in the incident.
They were demonstrating against the dissolution of Parliament.
The activists include senior journalists, former civil servants, actors and writers.
Police used water cannons as they tried to march ahead.
“We were not using any sort of force against the police, we didn’t possess stone or anything as such but the way we were suppressed this has given birth to third people’s movement,” Narayan Wagle, a senior journalist of the Himalayan Nation, told ANI.
Nepal has been witnessing protests in recent times over the December 20th move of Oli to dissolve the Parliament and then calling for an early election in April-May this year.
