April 26, Kathmandu – The Labour Culture Party staged a protest alleging that the state is suppressing squatters and unorganized residents. Holding the slogan “This country belongs to the poor as well,” the party organized the demonstration at Maitighar, Kathmandu, on Saturday. According to the party, the state has brutally oppressed squatters and unplanned inhabitants.
Participants carried placards reading “Prioritize the management of the landless,” “Let us unite for human rights,” “Protecting vulnerable groups is the state’s duty,” and “Give land to the landless.” They expressed anger over the state’s authoritarian approach, which they say suppresses squatters and unorganized residents without offering alternatives or proper management.
