Tarun Dal to take to street in
‘scare-crow march’
Post Report
KATHMANDU, Dec 13:Nepal Tarun Dal is set to
organise a "scare-crow" march on December 16, protesting against the October 4
Royal proclamation, it was announced on Friday in a press conference called by the Dal at
its office.
The organisation is also observing its
"black-day" on Dec 16, as its annual event.
During the protest rally, it has decided to
carry an effigy of Prime Minister Lokendra Bahadur Chand as a "scare-crow" and
march from Ratnapark at 1 p.m.
Briefing the journalists at the press conference
today, Bal Krishna Khand, president of Nepal Tarun Dal said the protest programme is also
to denounce the October 4 Royal move, which he said was án attack on the constitution and
on the multi-party democracy.
"Important government portfolios such as
foreign ministry, home, and finance have to succumb to the Palace for taking important
decision. Is this a government at all?" Khand asked, adding that it was a government
of what he said a "scare-crow", which is suitable only in the potato fields at
the outskirts of a forest.
"This government has hardly any effective
role. It looks like a "scare-crow" in the disguise of a man," he added.
He hopes that the December 16 protest rally
would pressure the King to withdraw his October 4 announcement.
