The party, while alleging that the arrested persons have been “assaulted”, has condemned that as well.

Mr. Upreti goes on to point out that the SDF party, in its election manifesto for the 2014 elections had promised to provide free education up to college level, and rues that what the party did upon forming the government was hike the fees instead.
The party has appealed on the Governor to intervene and resolve the matter.
