OSLO, Nov 21: The unofficial blockade that India imposed on Nepal after showing dissatisfaction over the recently promulgated constitution has drawn flaks all over the world. Nepali migrants in Norway have also staged demonstration against the blockade in a similar manner after Britain and Germany.

In the freezing cold of less than minus five degrees, Nepali migrants took to the streets carrying play-cards against the inhuman blockade, with pang at heart over the miserable condition of their homeland.

Organized in the collective initiation of The Non-Resident Nepali Association, Bebeksheel Nepali, Janapragatisheel Manch, NESCO Norway, Nepali Janasamparka Samiti, Nepal Prawasi Manch, Nepali Portugal Society, Nepsa and Helping Hands for Nepal, over 200 Nepali migrants including some foreigners had participated in the demonstration.

The Nepali migrants participating in the protest rally vented their ire over India, saying that the inhuman blockade has completely ruined the Nepal's economy and resulted in the shortage of essential drugs. Irate protestors also shouted slogans against Modi government for blatantly violating the transit right inherent with a landlocked country like Nepal.


The protestors also called on the international community (the United Nations, European Union, and the United States of America) to mount pressure on India to immediately lift the blockade as it has committed a serious crime against humanity by obstructing goods including medicines, fuel and other essential materials.

Even thoughthe representatives of the protest organizers reached Indian Embassy in Oslo to hand over memorandum following the demonstration, it did not receive it.
