“Prime Minister KP Oli has taken unconstitutional, undemocratic and totalitarian steps one after another putting the fundamentals of the constitution at stake, hence, the democrats should move forward unitedly for the defense of democracy,” Chairman of the Democratic Thought Society, Dr. Kedar Nar Singh KC said.

Leaders of civic groups were present with placards with slogans ‘Ensure Rule of Law,’ ‘Protect Human Rights,’, ‘Stop Murder and Violence’, ‘Ensure Press Freedom’ etc.
