He also urged the government to keep in mind the constitutional supremacy rather than parliamentary supremacy. "The government should not take lightly to Satyagrahis. I hope it will address the demands raised by Dr KC soon," he said.
Meanwhile, a minor scuffle took place between the police and the agitating doctors who are taking part in the KC's hunger strike at TU Teaching Hospital on Tuesday. The scuffle occurred when the police removed the mattresses used by the demonstrators during the strike.
