The recent arrest of prominent Hindu activist and Rastriya Samata Party Chairman Vijay Prakash Nishad by Parsa police has drawn strong condemnation from the Rastriya Ekta Dal, raising serious concerns over the state of civic freedoms. According to an official press release issued by the party, the state's action is a direct infringement on democracy, freedom of expression, and fundamental citizen rights.
The political organization stated that advocating for the Hindu religion and identity is a constitutional right protected within a democratic framework. By detaining a socio-political figure for expressing his faith and cultural identity, authorities are seen as executing a politically motivated move that violates democratic norms. Rastriya Ekta Dal warned that such coercive actions by enforcement agencies will only serve to undermine public trust in the state machinery.
In a formal statement signed by Madhesh Province Incharge Ramnath Yadav, the Rastriya Ekta Dal has officially urged the Government of Nepal and local authorities to grant an unconditional and immediate release to Nishad. The party has further called upon the administration to uphold constitutional guarantees and cease any form of suppression based on political and religious convictions. Future developments will depend on how the government responds to this growing demand for accountability and civic rights protection.
