Anti-Bush,
Blair rage spills over
Post Report
NARAYANGADH, March 19 :
Lampooning US President George W Bush as a water buffalo, three leftist parties today took
out a protest rally opposing the imminent US-led war on Iraq.
The male buffalo was
decorated with anti-war banners warning the lone superpower against attacking a sovereign
nation.
Around 300 cadres of
the CPN-UML, People’s Front Nepal and CPN-ML led the buffalo through the major
thoroughfares of the town and later converged at Balkumari Chowk, where they held a brief
meeting.
Former chairman of
Chitwan District Development Committee Bishnu Ghimire, district secretary of CPN-ML
Bhagawati Ghimire and district vice-chairman of the People’s Front Nepal Dambar Puri
addressed the protest meeting.
They demanded that the
US and its allied forces -Britain, Spain and Australia -immediately withdraw their
decision to attack on Iraq.
