Earlier some students and youth organizations affiliated to both the ruling alliance and the opposition had burnt effigies of Prime Minister Modi. The organizations are protesting against India over the death of Jaya Singh Dhami, a Nepalese youth. He died while he was crossing the Mahakali river near the border with India in July.
Nepali protesters accused that the Indian Sashstra Seema Bal (SSB) personnel were the cause of the death of Dhami. But Indian officials said that Dhami was crossing over to the Indian side ‘illegally’ using the tuin and was coming from Darchula in Nepal to Gasku in in Pithoragarh district in Uttarakhand.
