Sadbhawana Party Chairman Rajendra Mahato was airlifted to New Delhi for treatment today after his condition did not improve. Mahato had sustained injuries on various parts of his body on Saturday, December 26 during a clash with police at the Jogbani border point in Morang district.
rayers were performed for Rajendra Mahato, president of the Nepal Sadbhavana Party, who was injured in a clash with Nepali police during a protest near Biratnagar on the India-Nepal border on December 26. The agitation comes after Nepal's political leadership assured Madhesis of accepting their political demands. Factions of Madhesi agitators continue to remain sceptical about the promise and are continuing their agitation demanding immediate changes in the constitution. Madhesis have been protesting against Nepal's new constitution for more than four months, seeking fresh demarcation of federal boundaries and other rights. More than 50 people have died and many more were injured in Terai area after protests against the new constitution began four months ago.
There were reports that police have used `excessive force' to quell protests in many parts.
