KATHMANDU, May 5: The loan sharking victims who have come out in protest from different districts of Terai have continued their sit- in program.

They continued their sit-in at Shanti Batika in Kathmandu. They came in groups from various districts including Nawalparasi, Mahottari, Sarlahi of Terai and continued the sit-in in the second phase. They have also warned that they will continue their protest until their demands are met.

Talking to the media, a loan sharking victim said, “ To cancel Dristibandhak Tamsuk (an informal legal document used by loan sharking agents to exploit poor and illiterate people), return the money overcharged by the loan sharks and take action against them and investigate the illegally seized assets by the loan sharks.”

The loan sharking victims said that the check bounce should be declared politically illegal.

They added that the biggest problem now is that the case should be adjourned if the case has been settled, there should be an appeal and the arrest warrant should be stopped.

They said that the victims in jail should be released with dignity.
