The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has urged the government to pay attention to the demand raised by Laxman Tharu, leader of Tharuwan Rastriya Morcha, and save his life. Tharu has been staging fast-unto-death at Dhangadhi, Kailali.
Issuing a press release on Wednesday, NHRC secretary Bed Prasad Bhattarai made aware the government about the health condition of leader Tharu, who has been staging fast-unto-death for a week with the demands including amendment of the constitution.
NHRC secretary Bhattrai said that dialogue should be held to listen to Tharu’s demands. He further asserted on that difference and disagreement can be sorted out via dialogue urging Tharu leader not to go through ordeal as fast-unto-death.
