Students close to the faction of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal clashed with Police during their protest demonstration at Maitighar in Kathmandu city of Kathmandu District in Province No. 3 on January 10, reports Republica. The clash erupted when the protestors tried to advance toward Baneshwor from Maitighar, pulling a bullock cart as a satire against Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s statement made several years ago that ‘bringing republicanism to Nepal was equal to going to the USA on a bullock cart’. The protestors also claimed that the latest demonstration is also a reflection of Oli’s ideology and political thoughts.
