Kathmandu, Aug 25: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has expressed his commitment to take action against those involved in the killing of Ajit Mijar — a Dalit youth of Kavrepalanchowk district.
Prime Minister Dahal’s commitment came when a delegation led by the United Dalit Struggle Committee called on him at his Singha Durbar Office on Wednesday and demanded fair investigation and action against the murderer of Mijar at the earliest.
The Prime Minister is said to have pledged to form a high-level committee to probe the incident of murder stating it an issue of the nation rather than of a Dalit community.
Mijar had an inter-cast marriage with a girl of his village on last July 9 while the bride side had dissociated the girl from the low-cast Mijar’s family after two days. Mijar’s body was found dead at Gajuri of Dhading following two days of the move.
The delegation comprises CPN-Maoist Centre leader Tilak Pariyar, Jeetu Gautam of CPN-UML and Shambhu Hajara of Nepali Congress, among others. RSS
