Kathmandu. The All Nepal Squatters’ Association has announced a traffic jam on the East-West Highway for 5 hours.
Organizing a press conference at Sambad Dabali in the capital on Wednesday, it has announced a chakka jam from 5 am to 10 am on May 14.
Nahendra Khadka, in-charge of All Nepal Squatters’ Association, which is close to the Nepali Communist Party, has appealed to all to support the chakka jam program announced for 5 hours tomorrow.
Although the program was organized by his organization, he urged the squatters to participate in the program without considering any particular party or organization as it was for the rights of the landless squatters across the country.
“It is necessary to give a message of unity to the landless squatters across the country, which will prove to be a milestone of rights,” said Khadka. “The government’s unauthorized bulldozer terror has caused property worth billions of rupees to be compelled to commit suicide, which needs to be countered,” Khadka said.
Amar Pariyar, president of the association, appealed to all to support the chakkajam.
“I would like to request all the transport entrepreneurs, army, police and CDOs to support this initial struggle for the rights of the poor people,” Pariyar said. Pariyar has demanded that the landless squatters should be managed instead of in the holding center.
Chairman of Samyukta Nagarik Party Dalmardan Kami expressed his ire at the incumbent government for disobeying the constitutional provision of citizens’ right to housing and the Supreme Court’s order. Balen Shah has also accused Shah of being a dictator rather than a guardian of the people.
Raj Kumar Pandey, president of Nepal Squatters and Abyo Settlers Association, close to the Nepali Congress, expressed solidarity with the chakka jam announced by the All Nepal Squatters’ Association. “We call on the members of all 77 districts to join the struggle for landless squatters,” Pandey said.
Arjun Kunwar, president of the Squatters’ Association close to the Janata Samajwadi Party and general secretary of the United Squatters’ Front, also expressed solidarity with the jam. Cover said the dozer was wrong on the squatters without the management of the bin and the alternative. Kunwar also appealed to all to help in tomorrow’s chakka jam.
Vice-chairperson of All Nepal Squatters’ Association, Leela Moktan, urged all to support the movement of landless squatters.
General Secretary of the association, Prakash Kharel, said that they have called on all to come to the East-West Highway Chakka Jam and to organize a joint demonstration at Maitighar Mandala tomorrow.
