Hari Dhakal and Tilak Koirala to break hunger strike owing to ill health; not the end but beginning of a revolution, says Hari Dhakal

The members of Investors’ pressure group, Mr. Hari Dhakal and Mr. Tilak Koirala, have decided to halt the hunger strike due to ill health.

In a statement given to the press Mr. Hari Dhakal said, “We have heard that we are doing this to increase prices of shares but we are not even huge portfolio holders that we want to sacrifice our life for such reasons. The ansan was for the betterment of the stock market that includes all investors. This was not for personal growth.” He added, “Due to ill health, the ansan will come to a halt today but this is not the end. Rather it is a beginning of a revolution. Our ansan will be successful only when all the investors start pushing the authorities to do what they are supposed to do and make our market mafia-free.”

Similarly, Mr. Tilak Koirala said, “Many said that we were influenced by political support, but the party we shed blood and sweat for is in the government today and it didn’t help or support us. We though the government would listen to the poor and helpless, and even though our demands were valid, we didn’t get their support.”

Following the statement, both the protestors proceeded to break their fast ending with the statement that the strike was for policy implementation, not price manipulation.
