KATHMANDU: Durga Prasai, has demanded that the government immediately roll back the recent fuel price hike.
Speaking at a press conference in Kathmandu on Saturday, Prasai warned that the campaign would launch phased protests if the price increase is not withdrawn.
He said the movement would be led by student organisations and urged the government not to attempt to dissolve or weaken such groups.
According to Prasai, student organisations play an important role in raising voices on social and national issues.
He also noted that in the past, protests were staged even over fuel price hikes of just two rupees, alleging that student groups have remained silent despite a much larger increase this time.
