Kathmandu, April 20:

Top leaders of the seven-party alliance today condemned the government for using excessive force to suppress their peaceful movement.

Issuing a joint press statement here today, the leaders said the royal regime has crossed all limits of suppression, killing innocent people in the name of implementing curfew orders and injured hundreds of others in different parts of the country.

“Three persons were killed in Kalanki and hundreds of others got injured in Gwarko, Gongabu, Narayan Gopal Chowk and Ghattekulo in the Kathmandu Valley while two persons lost their lives in Jhapa’s Chandragadhi on Wednesday,” it said. “This is the height of the royal regime’s brutality,” said the statement signed by top leaders of the alliance. They have also expressed deep condolences to the families of those killed in the movement. They vowed that the movement would not cease until the restoration of total democracy.
