Nepal Communist Party (Dahal-Nepal) Group has expressed displeasure over the use of force against a peaceful demonstration of civil society.

Issuing a press release on Tuesday evening, NCP chairperson duo, Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal, objected to the use of force against the demonstration the civil society staged in support of safeguarding the constitution and democracy.
