Minors lament cancellation
Post Report
KATHMANDU, Nov 9 - A non governmental organization run by
minors today protested against the government’s recent move to cancel its
registration.
At a review meeting held here today to review the
activities of Bal Chetana Samuha (BCS), which was established five years ago, BCS
executives said the move by the Kathmandu District Administration Office in 2056 B S to
cancel the registration came as a surprise to them.
"By cancelling the registration of BCS, the government
has discouraged us", said Tirtha Raj Rasayali, a BCS advisor and ex- member.
They alleged that the government violated Clause 15 of the
Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), of which Nepal is also a signatory. "The
Clause guarantees the rights of children to fight for their rights, participate in
community activities and establish organizations like CRC."
