Dr Govinda KC, an orthopaedic surgeon at TU Teaching Hospital, is all set to start his indefinite hunger strike on Sunday—the eighth in the last four years—and one of his demands is impeachment of Lok Man Singh Karki, chief commissioner of the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority. But a team of doctors has decided to launch a counter-protest, saying that Dr KC’s indefinite fast could cause public inconvenience. Many believe the counter-protest is being orchestrated at the behest of the CIAA.
When Dr KC announced two weeks ago that he would once again go on indefinite fast, the anti-graft body was quick to respond. In a statement, the CIAA had even questioned the sanity of the surgeon. The statement, however, was retracted following widespread criticism. Dr KC is set to start his indefinite fast from 3pm on Sunday.
