KATHMANDU: The All Nepal National Free Students Union (ANNFSU) loyal to the Prachanda-Nepal faction of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) has staged a lantern rally against the dissolution of the House of Representatives (HoR) on Wednesday afternoon.

The central committee of the ANNFSU staged the lantern rally at Maitighar Mandala shouting a slogan, “We are Lighting Lanterns in Daylight, Where is the Article for the Dissolution of the HoR?” in the capital this afternoon.
