General secretary of NEFIN been attacked
Kathmandu, Feb 15.
Ram Bahadur Thapa Magar, General Secretary of Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NEFIN) was attacked by some youths and has been seriously wounded in Kalanki.
Indigenous and marginalized people had called for Kathmandu valley bandh on Thursday to give government pressure to address indigenous and marginalized people's demand of their representation in New Nepal's constitution. To make it a successful bandh Magar had gone to Kalanki when the incident happened. He was taken to Kathmandu Model Hospital where he regained his consciousness. He had to have about 12 stitches on the back and side of his head.
Talking to journalists he said, "After we asked local shopkeepers and vehicle-users to support our bandh I was standing alone on the road side when about 16 youths came and attacked me. The attack looked planned. They definitely knew who I was and whom they should attack.
Though it was said to be peaceful protest about two dozens of vehicles were vandalized and one motorbike was burned by aggressive protesters after Magar was attacked.

Hey.....Smita!
today i found this story. aachamma lagyo kina tha chha u started ur writing career so many years ago.
thats amazing yar!
You know i was there at protest when Mr. Magar was attacked. I was active in some issues in those days. In the protest, my brother and friend, Gobinda Chhantyal (who is studying at TU central campus) asked me to join in it. We went there before one night. We did paln. I mean we planned our protest program. And at early we all started...........forget it...yar... protesting styles in Nepal. We applied all the ways people do.
Never mind, u have said that some vehicles were vandalized after the incedent. but it was before it. When the PASALES and KHALASIS get angreed they did all they could do. And Mr. magar got injured.
I was standing as a child there. I , for the first time in life, saw such incident. Ke garne yar! tesari pani hunchha ta. I just got good lessions!
