Another Shutdown Averted In Nepal
By KTM Metro Reporter
June 17, 2011: after the police have released Mahesh Basnet: Chairman of Youth Association of Nepal (YAN), and other leaders of the youth wing of CPN-UML taken under custody for their involvement in the attempt on the life of reporter Khilnath Dhakal in Biratnager on Sunday June 5, 2011 for writing their involvement in plotting a gang fight against the rival group, the group ostensibly representing the political party called CPN-UML but actually indulging in criminal activities have called off the nation wide shutdown they have planned for Friday, June 17, 2011.
Home Minister Krishna Bahadur Mahara has given in to the demand of the YAN for releasing Mahesh Basnet allegedly involved in the attempt on the life of the reporter for averting the nation wide shutdown YAN has declared. As a result, YAN has called off the nation wide shutdown.
Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal has lost the legitimacy to stay on in office after the YAN he has set up has openly engaged in the criminal activities. So, Mr. Khanal needs to quit the office on the ethical ground otherwise he would be the head of the criminal gang that runs the administration.
