Addressing the gathering, Com. Chitra Bahadur K.C. said: “Only the leftists can truly oppose imperialism. Today’s demonstration against imperialism has proven that. It is equally significant that such broad solidarity among the leftist forces of Nepal has emerged. This grand rally was held in support of the Palestinian people’s liberation struggle, in opposition to the genocide committed by Israel in Gaza, and against American imperialism and Israeli aggression in Iran. We must hope and work toward ensuring that this unity among Nepal’s leftist forces continues to grow stronger in the days ahead.”
