Nepal Communist Party (ML) organised a mass meeting Friday in the capital and announced the beginning of its street protests. The ML, which does not hold even a single seat in the House of Representatives, however is divided on the programme of launching street protests.

Bamdev Gautam, General Secretary of ML, said there were no alternatives except launching protest programmes. ML also strongly condemned the government for not considering its 32-points demand presented to the government last month.
