KATHMANDU, JULY 24
Minister of Energy Pampha Bhusal has urged women to wage struggle to acquire their rights.
Releasing a fiction 'Chhori' (Daughter) written by ANN- ISU (Revolutionary) leader Manisha Acharya here today, Minister Bhusal argued that the fight to implement legal rights ensured for the women was not over yet. She stated that though women's right to property was achieved legally, it was not fully implemented.
On the occasion, Minister Bhusal recalled her stories of defiance from her student life to political career. "Taking higher education was itself a protest at a time when the society did not allow daughters to go to school," she argued.
On the occasion, Chairperson of Sancharika Samuha Bimala Tumkhewa said debate on contents written by women writers should be intensively launched. Commenting on the new book, Santosh Pariyar said Acharya's fiction was realistic yet rebellious.
Similarly, ANNISU (Revolutionary) Chairperson Pancha Singh stated that the youth should concentrate on reading seriously instead of making light comments.
Acharya, writer of the book, said women's success was suspiciously construed instead of having faith in them.
