report in The Himalayan Times, Dec 31, 2022
KATHMANDU: The Ranjita Shrestha-led Nagarik Unmukti Party will join the government only after seven persons, including Resham Chaudhary, who have been convicted in Kailali carnage, are released from prison unconditionally.

Resham’s father Lalbir Chaudhary, who is a member of the House of Representatives, told THT that his party had got assurance that his son Resham and other convicts would be released.

Lawmaker Lalbir said he was confident that his son and others, who were innocent, would be released by the government.

He said if his party’s demands were met, it would join the coalition government led by CPN-Maoist Centre Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal.

NUP has seven members in Sudurpaschim, four in Lumbini, and one in Madhes.
