According to him, the date for the massive demonstrations in the provinces would be fixed later. Government's atrocity against protest would be debunked, he added, condemning the vandalism at party offices and at leaders' residence and interference in the programmes in different districts.

Moreover, Spokesperson Bhattarai said the party would try its best to unite the leaders from other parties to scale up the protest.

"India's interest, comment on the amendment bill and its activities are fully against diplomatic norms," he asserted.

The meeting was attended also attended by Vice-Chairman Bhim Rawal, General Secretary Ishwor Pokhrel, leaders Bishnu Poudel, Ghana Shyam Bhushal, Pradip Gyawali, Yogesh Bhattarai, Prithvi Subba Gurung and almost all standing committee members. RSS
