Kathmandu, July 6: Nepali Congress leader Khum Bahadur Khadka-led team has Monday submitted a protest letter to the Constituent Assembly (CA) chairman Subas Nembang.

Soaked in rain, the members of Khadka-led team reached the meeting of the CA today, held in CA building in New Baneshwor in the capital city on foot. The team requested to the CA Chair to declare Nepal as a Hindu state.

The team members argued that the issue of secularism, which was not even raised during the second people's movement, was incorporated in the Interim Constitution.

Leader Khadka, also a former Home Minister, has been spearheading 'Sanatan Hindu Rastra Mahaabhiyan' or the Grand Campaign for Restoration of Nepal as a Sanatan Hindu State, pressing for the establishment of the Nepal as a Hindu nation yet again.

Prior to leader Khadka, Former Speaker of the bParliament, Taranath Ranabhat, Laxman Ghimire among others leaders had demanded with the CA Chair for the same.
