Kathmandu: Recently, some Communist leaders in Nepal were found involved in incidents of blowing up an effigy of Indian PM Narendra Modi and shouting slogans against him due to the death of a Nepali youth who was illegally entering India. Nepal's home ministry has issued a statement warning such leaders and citizens. The Nepal government termed such acts as derogatory and said Nepal wants to be friends with India and will not tolerate such incidents.

The entire case relates to the death of Nepali youth Jai Singh Dhami, who was trying to enter India at Gasku in Dharchula in July. However, he died after falling into the Kali river adjoining the Pithoragarh border district of Uttarakhand. Now, protesters in Nepal allege that SSB is responsible for the death of the youth. They are alleging that when Jai Singh Dhami was crossing the river through a wire, the SSB cut the wire. However, SSB has denied the allegation. Among the protesters are those from the Youth Wing and the Student Wing of the Communist Party in power.

In a statement on the same incident, Nepal's Home Ministry said that in the last few days, activities like sloganeering, dharna demonstrations have come to light to malign the image of the PM of the neighbouring friendly nation. The ministry's statement does not reveal the identity of any leader's statement. But such incidents have been termed as condemnable and shameful.
