KATHMANDU, Feb 29: The CPN-UML has demanded the release of microfinance victims.

The police arrested the microfinance victims who staged a protest by entering the Federal Parliament building premises.

National Assembly member Bimala Ghimire urged the government to release the microfinance victims and address their grievances.

Speaking at the National Assembly meeting on Thursday, she drew the attention of the government to address the demands of microfinance and loan shark victims who are protesting in Kathmandu.

She emphasized that since the government did not respond to their grievances, the microfinance victims felt compelled to protest on the Parliament premises. "Those detained during the demonstration should be released immediately and unconditionally," she asserted.

On February 26, microfinance victims staged a demonstration on the premises of the Federal Parliament Building in New Baneshwor.
