Muslims agitate in Gorkha

POKHARA: SEPT. 11 – Lower level election has started under the 14th General Convention of Nepali Congress. In some districts, ward level elections are being held and municipal conventions are being held, while in others, ward elections are being held.

The Muslims of Gorkha have agitated targeting the General Convention. They demanded that the presence of the Muslim community at all levels of Congress be made mandatory. Representatives of agitating Muslims have staged a sit-in at the office of Congress Gorkha. Although there is a provision in the constitution to represent all castes, regions, backward classes, genders and minorities, they have objected to the reduction of the provision of the constitution by making guidelines.
