‘Red Nepal’ says, ‘No MCC!’

Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) grant of $500 million offered to Nepal is in almost jeopardy. A big section of citizens of the tiny country seems to be vehemently opposing this inflow of grant.

Slogan echoes of ‘No MCC’ can be heard commonly on the streets of Kathmandu these days. Every second television channels are engaged in talk shows and discussions in favor of or against MCC. It could be almost impossible for an outsider to understand why are the people protesting against a generous grant?
