KATHMANDU: Former Prime Minister and Nepal Communist Party (NCP) senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal has condemned indecent behavior against Standing Committee member Surendra Pandey.

Leader Nepal took to Facebook to condemn the mistreatment of leader Pandey by the own party’s cadres.

“I condemn the deliberate indecent behavior and sloganeering by some people against him in course of monitoring the development projects in the home district and participating in the party programs,” leader Nepal said, “I would like to draw the serious attention of the local chapter and all concerned to investigate and take strict action against those involved.”

Cadres close to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli had mistreated leader Pandey at the ‘Meeting and Training’ program of the NCP Chitwan Rapti Municipal Committee on Saturday morning.

While Pandey was speaking at the program, a group of 15/20 people from outside the committee had entered the meeting hall and stopped Pandey from speaking by sloganeering.

They had accused leader Pandey of making a wrong statement against Prime Minister Oli and supporting a faction.
