The clash occurred after the families of the martyrs of the Jana Andolan (People’s Movement) tried to prevent Nepali Congress President Girija Prasad Koirala and Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) senior leader KP Oli from unveiling a Jana Andolan memorial tower. The protestors, alleging that the politicians disrespected the Jana Andolan martyrs, showed black flags to Koirala and pelted stones at the venue.
The two leaders unveiled the memorial tower after the police beefed up the security.
