Kirat republic sought
KATHMANDU: Standing Committee member of Unified CPN-Maoist Gopal Kirati on Sunday asked party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal to ensure a separate Kirat republic. He said the right of self-determination of the Limbus should be respected. Handing over a memorandum to Dahal, Kirati warned the chairman of High Level Political Coordination Committee that Kirati people would struggle for their freedom if not given an autonomous Kirat republic. Kirati also demanded that Dahal address the demands of agitating Madhesis Tharus through amendment of the constitution.
