KATHMANDU: The Youth Department of Rastriya Ekata Abhiyan has held a protest rally demanding the revocation of the agreement on China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the Muslim Commission.

Hundreds of youths participated in the rally taken out from Maitighar. The rally turned into a corner assembly after reaching New Baneshwor, Kathmandu.

In the corner meeting at Baneshwor, Rastriya Ekata Abhiyan Chairman Binay Yadav called on the government to revoke both BRI agreement and Muslim Commission.
