KATHMANDU, DECEMBER 4

The Madhesi Commission has cautioned one and all to avoid inhumane, unconstitutional, and illegal acts taking place for the past few days on social media aimed at destabilising social harmony by targeting the Madhesi community.

Issuing a press statement today, the Commission said complaints were filed regarding the use of derogatory terms by some people on social media. The Commission is serious as such behaviour could even destabilise national unity, it added.

Asking one and all not to engage in such inhumane, unconstitutional and illegal acts, the Commission has cautioned all not to engage in such acts which are subject to punishment as per the existing laws of Nepal.
