Cadres of the opposition party shout anti-government slogans from the police van after getting arrested for protesting in front of Tribhuvan International Airport, while waiting for Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai’s return from his trip to the Rio+20 Summit held at Brazil, in Kathmandu yesterday. The protesters were calling for the scrapping of the election of the Constituent Assembly (CA), scheduled for November 22, claiming it is unconstitutional. They also demanded the immediate resignation of Bhattarai, saying that the prime minister had declared the election without consulting other parties
