Nepali Congress Dadeldhura President and Sudurpashchim Provincial Assembly member Karna Bahadur Malla after the rally warned of waging stern agitation if KC’s demands were not met shortly. He urged the government, political parties and the public to meet KC’s demands as they were in the interest of people and the country.
