Kathmandu, April 24

The main opposition party, Nepali Congress, has demanded that the government launch an independent probe into the incident in which People’s Socialist Party Nepal lawmaker Surendra Yadav was taken to Kathmandu in a style of abduction on Wednesday night.

On Thursday, Yadav had told media that he was for forcefully taken to Kathmandu by two lawmakers of the Nepal Communist Party and a former chief of Nepal Police in order to split his party. After he did not agree, the plan to split the party had failed.

After the government decided to withdraw the ordinance that was allegedly brought to relax provisions of splitting a party, the opposition party’s spokesperson Bishwa Prakash Sharma on Thursday issued a statement demanding an investigation into the ‘abduction-style’ incident and action against the culprits.

Fearing that the government may spare them as some leaders of the ruling party were spared after returning the land in the notorious Baluwatar land scam, the opposition party has appealed to the public to stay alert.
