KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress leader Gagan Thapa on Sunday urged the government to address the demands made by Dr Govinda KC immediately and to save his life.

Thapa asked Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to fulfil the demands made by Dr KC at the earliest. “Neither is Dr Govinda KC’s struggle for himself nor for his relatives. This struggle is for us, for quality health of all Nepalis. Should I shout and tell @PM_Nepal who is ignoring Dr KC’s Satyagraha (non-violent resistance), to immediately address the demands of Dr KC and save his life!” Thapa said in a  twitter post.

Dr KC started his 17th hunger strike in Dadeldhura headquarters Baghkhor, putting forth a seven-point demand on November  4.
