The NHRCC has requested the protestors to play the role of a responsible citizen by not misusing social media and doing any activity that may cause violence," read a statement issued by its Spokesperson Tikaram Pokharel.


Stating that its attention was drawn to the demonstrations staged by the Youth Association Nepal and the one staged in the name of the campaign to save the nation, nationality, religion, culture and citizens, and hate speeches posted on various social media, the NHRC has also urged both sides to exercise restraints and refrain from expressing hate speeches.
