A senior leader of the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) Jhala Nath Khanal has said that Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has taken to the streets to correct the regressive move.

Addressing a program organized by the CPN-Prachanda-Nepal group in Kathmandu, Khanal said that the Nepali people were compelled to take to the streets to protect and implement the democratic republic and the constitution drafted by the Constituent Assembly.

He said that the seven-decade-long communist movement would never falter, adding that KP Oli was a fugitive from the Communist Party.
