KATHMANDU, April 28: Chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Socialist), Madhav Nepal, and leader Jhala Nath Khanal (both former Prime Ministers) visited the teachers’ protest in Kathmandu to express solidarity.
However, after facing chants from the teachers protesting against the involvement of politics in the movement, both leaders were compelled to turn back without expressing their views.
The teachers had been involved in the ongoing protest in Kathmandu for 27 days, and when the leaders were confronted with slogans against political involvement, they were compelled to leave.
