KATHMANDU, April 12: The Muslim Association Nepal (MAN) has said that it will hit the streets against the curtailment of leaves granted by the government in honor of religions, cultures of Muslims, indigenous nationalities and other communities.
Issuing a press statement on Wednesday, the MAN, a sister organization of the Nepali Congress, said so following a meeting, adding that it would join hands with indigenous nationalities and other communities to intensify protests as part of a pressure on the government to reinstate leaves as they have roots in the cultures and religions of various communities.
The MAN is holing a national convention of the association on April 28 in the capital. The Convention will be inaugurated by Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba at the central party headquarters in Sanepa.
