Violent Expression Of Frustration

During his just concluded nationwide awareness campaign, CPN-UML chair KP Sharma Oli made a whirlwind tour to the mid-hill regions, where he met with people and spoken at rallies. A two-time kidney recipient and 72-year old Oli has drawn praises for leading an almost month long awareness trip. The UML held its campaign for 18 days during which Oli travelled 2,000-km. Despite his campaign aimed at reviving the party’s fate in the next general elections, a Dhankuta youth attempted to assault him at one of such rallies. The main opposition party, however, avoided delving deep into the incident, dismissing it as an act of an inebriated youth.
