Nirmala Kurmi’s Murder Case: Demonstration against appointment of prime accused as Minister (Photo Feature)

Kathmandu: Activists have been demonstrating at Maitghar, against appointing the prime accused of Nirmala Kurmi as Province Minister.

The sit-in demonstration, under the leadership of Rights Activist and Campaigner Ruby Khan, began on Friday. The campaigners accused the Nepali Congress of protecting its leader Badshah Kurmi, the prime accused of Kurmi’s murder, and appointed him a Minister.

Likewise, the activists began their 5th demonstration by saying that the accused was appointed as Minister, despite the repeated assurance of the government to take the case to court.
