Objection to NGOs in Kamaiya movement

Dhangadhi, Nov. 16 (RSS) :The Agricultural Labourers' Association, Nepal has objected to various non-governmental organisations taking over leadership of the Kamaiya freedom movement

At a joint press conference called by the association's Kailali and Kanchanpur district units here recently, central member of the association Phiru Lal Chaudhari accused various NGOs spearheading the Kamaiya freedom movement of confining their struggle to mere slogans and organizing processions and protest demonstrations without giving due attention to the real problems of the Kamaiya.

Addressing the press conference, president of Kailali District Agricultural Labourers' Association Ram Prasad Chaudhari and his counterpart from Kanchanpur district Bir Bahadur Dagaura disclosed that there are 28 various NGOs working for Kamaiya freedom in Kailali and 17 in Kanchanpur.

A press release distributed on the occasion states that a one-hour chakka jam (transport strike) will be effected in Jhalari of Kanchanpur district and Lamki of Kailali district on November 20 to protest the government's "apathy and disregard" towards Kamaiya rehabilitation.
