Dr Poudyal asked political parties to stop protecting such party workers. While expressing her displeasure over the denial of Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) to even stay in Khulla Manch area, she said, "Khulla Manch is the only thing in Kathmandu. Can't Madhesi women coming from Madhesh set foot there?” she asked.
