Another agitation was announced by the co-operatives

"On May 11, the movement will start at 11 in the morning from Maitighar Mandla. After the rally, we will start a relay fast by holding a corner meeting," he said. Nepalgunj, Chitwan and Dharan also start at the same time.'

President KC asked all the parties to raise their voice in favor of cooperative savers and take initiatives to solve the problem. "We made an agreement with the then Minister of Land Management and Poverty Alleviation Ranjita Shrestha, the current Minister Balram Adhikari. But no one fulfilled our demand. Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' sir, we want justice," he said.

He says that the 084 elections will be boycotted if the co-operative victims do not get justice. "You say Mission 084, we are moving forward to boycott Mission 084, if the demands of the cooperative victims are not met, your level will also come to our level in 084, then we will show the strength of the people," he said, "we will chase you from house to house, the cooperative victims did not get justice. There will be no elections in 2004. KC President of Kantipur Media Group warned that they will not tolerate if Kailash Sirohia is arrested on the basis of news. "If an accomplice is arrested on the basis of raising his voice, we will strongly condemn it, but if he has made a mistake, he should not be freed," he said. Purushottam Karki, Vice President of Co-operative Savers Protection National Campaign, Bhim Kumar Shrestha, Treasurer Dev Kumar Shrestha and Senior Advisor Bhim Kumar Shrestha said that the government has failed to act in favor of co-operative victims.

movement in the home minister's constituency too

Savers of Chitwan's three big cooperatives Sahara Multipurpose, Sunrise Savings and Loan and Shivshikhar Multipurpose Cooperative are going to demonstrate in Bharatpur from Friday. Instead of returning the savings, they have prepared for the demonstration saying that the government is trying to protect those who are guilty of embezzlement.

In the district, even when more than 20,000 savers were misled, they expressed their anger that the government did not take action against those involved in money embezzlement. It was seen that someone was arrested within a few hours of the arrest warrant being issued. But today it has been eight/nine months since the arrest warrant was issued against those who drowned and hid. Vinod Acharya, another saver from Sahara, said that it was naive that the government could not do anything when people's savings were misappropriated and fled abroad. "We have met Ravi Lamichhane many times. At some point he used to say that I am not in the government, it is the responsibility of the government. Now he is also in the government, is he caught?,' he asked.

It has been seen that 120 million rupees of savers from Sahara Cooperative, headquartered in Chitwan-2, the constituency of Home Minister Lamichhane, went to Gorkha Media Pvt Ltd, which operates Galaxy TV, where Lamichhane is the managing director. GB Rai, owner of Gorkha Media, who is based in Okhaldhunga, is the founder of Sahara Cooperative. According to the victim, the main accused was caught by the Nawalpur police but was ignored by the Chitwan police. In Chitwan, the owners of Sunrise Cooperative embezzled more than 90 million rupees. We are going to get refund for 20 months. But its operators are not caught in Chitwan. This same operator was caught after running another cooperative in Nawalpur and embezzling the savings," said Tulsiram Sapkota, a victim of Sunrise Cooperative.

RPPA MP Geeta Basnet is also involved in the misappropriation of the savings of the consumer cooperative in Kawasoti in East Nawalparasi. The victim objected that the police did not arrest him even though an arrest warrant was issued against him. "Khainkhai has earned the money by sweat and the money earned by my brother abroad in the cooperative. Others made fun of our money. I hear that the MP has embezzled our savings. Susheela KC, a saver of Sunrise Cooperative, said: Badri Pokharel, a saver of Shivshikhar multi-purpose cooperative, said that even after 20 months of demanding the return of savings, the government ignored them. "We want the savings back. Even though Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal gave it back, Home Minister Ravi Lamichhane gave it back, saver Badri Pokharel said, "But how can we get the money back by blaming each other and protesting in the Parliament?"

7 parties protest in Kaski

In Kaski, 7 parties have started a phased movement program to draw the attention of the government in favor of the cooperative victims. They are preparing to hold an interactive discussion with stakeholders and victims until Saturday and demonstrate in Pokhara on Sunday. In the attention letter submitted to the Prime Minister through the Chief District Officer of Kaski, Basudev Ghimire, they said that they will not back down from any kind of protest if the demands of the victims are not met.

In the attention letter delivered last Thursday, Kaski in-charge of the Revolutionary Communist Party Kesh Bahadur Periyar, CPN Masal spokesman Chandra Bahadur KC, Kaski in-charge of Nepal Samajwadi Tikaram Paudel, CPN Kaski secretary Umesh C, Rashtriya Janamorcha Kaski president Santosh Paudel, CPN Manish Bhattarai, Scientific Socialist Communist Party Buddhi Purja and Vinod Sunam of Scientist Samajwadi Morcha have signed. Kesh Bahadur Pariyar, in-charge of the Revolutionary Communist Party, said that after the discussion program with stakeholders and victims is over, a protest will be held in Pokhara on June 13 for public pressure. He said that the accused who had embezzled crores of rupees were released on bail of a few thousand and on the contrary, they were threatening the victims themselves, so they would not hesitate to carry out any protest if the demands of the victims were not met.

They allege that the big political parties and the Home Minister have supported the perpetrators in order to arrest the co-operative thugs and bring them to justice. "Instead of being serious towards the victims by being irresponsible towards the victims who protested with their legitimate demands, the higher authorities of the state and the Home Minister, who is responsible for peace and security, instead of supporting the perpetrators, the injury of the victims has been added to the injury," the attention letter says, "In such a situation, the people's party parties active in Kaski district have received serious attention. It is mentioned in the statement that funds were embezzled from Suryadarshan, Image, Shivshikhar, Mitra Milan, Vindhyavasini and Prime cooperatives and the savers did not get their savings back when the owners absconded with crores of money.

Daily protest in Butwal

The savers of the Supreme Savings and Loan Cooperative in Butwal are protesting daily after not getting back the savings of the cooperative. They are conducting programs ranging from discussion/interaction with stakeholders, submission of memorandums to street protests. They have prepared to go to court on the suspicion that they could not arrest Gitendrababu Rai (GB) Rai, the former chairman and patron of Supreme Cooperative, and the chairman of RSVP and Home Minister Ravi Lamichhane, who took a large amount of the cooperative's money to the Gorkha media network and did not return it, did not come to the investigation and trial process.

The victims who gathered last Tuesday said that even though the police have completed the investigation and taken the case to court, the high officials involved in the embezzlement have not been brought to justice, but the hope of getting the money back is dead. Vijayakumar Nepal, the coordinator of the Supreme Co-operative Victims' Struggle Committee, said on Wednesday that the court process had been started by appointing advocate Baburam Pandey for legal consultation. "Now we have increased the court process along with the program of struggle," he said.

According to the police report, officials and employees embezzled 861.823 million out of 1.31 billion collected from 10,391 savers of Supreme Cooperative. More than two dozen cooperatives are in trouble in Lumbini. 12 cooperatives in Rupandehi have been closed for a long time due to inability to return savings.

Lately, the savers of Manjushree Cooperative in Kalikanagar, Butwal sub-metropolitan city-11 are protesting. Dilip Karki of Butwal, a saver of Shivshikhar Cooperative, said that the protest program is being decided together with Supreme Cooperative victims.

According to Gunakar Khanal, Head of Cooperatives and Employment Promotion Branch of Butwal sub-metropolis, there are 136 registered cooperatives in the sub-metropolitan city and 215 registered cooperatives in the province. He said that 11 of them have had problems with waste so far. DSP Vijayraj Pandit of the area police office Butwal said that based on the complaints of the savers of Supreme, Shivsikhar and Kalpavriksha among the closed

s, a case has been registered and action has been taken. "We are now preparing to send the investigation to the worthwhile cooperatives and send them to the court," he said, "the number of problematic cooperatives is increasing." He said that Manjushree, who protested on Monday, was also sent with an agreement to return the savings within a month.
