Thousands of supporters of the Nepali Congress (NC) on January 9 staged demonstrations in all 330 provincial constituencies against dissolution of the House of Representatives (HoR), reports The Himalayan Times. Addressing a mass at Budhanilkanta, Kathmandu, NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba urged all to join hands with the NC as the communist parties had not been able to meet people’s expectations. He, however, also said it was not a democratic practice to exert pressure on the Supreme Court from the streets to give verdict in one’s favour. Deuba said, “Nepali Congress is a party that follows moral values. We believe in rule of law and the court. We shall wait for the SC’s verdict. We will abide by the decision of the court.” He further said that people’s verdict was above the SC’ verdict, so it would be alright to go to elections and seek their mandate. He however, also said that if Oli wouldn’t hold elections on the given date, the NC would throw out the PM through protests.

A tense situation continued at the Jaffna University on January 9, as dozens of locals, students, and politicians gathered overnight, protesting the removal of a war memorial on campus, reports The Hindu. According to students and eyewitnesses, on January 8 university authorities bulldozed a sculpture erected in memory of several thousand civilians brutally killed in the final phase of the civil war in 2009, in Mullivaikkal in Sri Lanka’s northern Mullaitivu District. Jaffna parliamentarian S. Shritharan described the developments as “very disturbing.” “This is a deliberate, provocative act, knowing well that memorials are to do with people’s emotions. After a relatively peaceful period here, this act will trigger much pain and anger, especially among our youth. That is very worrying,” he said. “I also feel the state has tactfully used the VC to carry out this, pitting some Tamils against others, while achieving what they want,” he added.

The main opposition Nepali Congress (NC) on January 16 held demonstrations in all 753 local levels across the country against the Government’s December 20 move to dissolve the House of Representative (HoR), reports The Himalayan Times. Addressing a mass in Bharatpur Municipality, Chitwan, NC’s senior leader Ramchandra Paudel said it was the communist leaders who had derailed the country’s path of development and prosperity towards communalism and regression, while all neighbouring countries were swiftly heading towards prosperity. He further said that it was now the duty of every citizen to save the constitution of the country and the nation itself by reinstating the dissolved House. “But, no one should assume that through our protests we are exerting pressure on the Supreme Court about a case sub-judice in the court.”
