Speaking at a press conference in Itahari on Saturday Chairman of LMM Bir Nembang accused the political leaders of trying to kill the identity of Limbuan.
“We have been holding negotiations with pro-Limbuan groups associated with the three major parties --UCPN (Maoist), CPN-UML and Nepali Congress (NC) -- to take to the streets against the SRC reports,” said Nembang.
He also warned that no power can stop their agitation.
