Dalits bring House to standstill Thursday, Dec 22, 2011
KATHMANDU-- Dalit lawmakers affiliated to various political parties
occupied the floor of the Legislative parliament on Thursday to
protest lack of response towards the murder of a dalit Manbir Sunuwar.
Dalit lawmakers from CPN (UML), UCPN (Maoist) and other parties
obstructed the House proceedings and boycotted the meeting accusing
the government of remaining silent of Sunuwar's death.
Sunuwar, a 'dalit' was beaten to death by some locals belonging to the
so called 'high caste' after accusing him of entering into the kitchen
of a hotel run by 'high caste' owner Jas Bahadur Shahi in Kalikot.
The lawmakers also accused the government of not taking the issue
seriously and for interfering into the protests made by dalits.
Sunuwar's death has sparked agitation among the Dalits across the nation.
