Decision of self-immolation is result of despair & pain since yesterday: HM Lamichhane

KATHMANDU: Prem Prasad Acharya committed self-immolation as a result of despair and pain from the past, according to Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane. He responded on the social networking site Facebook.

He has written on Facebook – ‘What is left to describe the situation where a citizen has to commit suicide? Due to similar circumstances, we have joined the politics yesterday and today we are joining the government through peaceful rebellion. I know that the decision of self-immolation is the result of frustration and pain since yesterday. I am saddened that even the arrival of new people like us could not add enthusiasm to you, could not instill hope, could not change the decision of self-immolation. We are guilty of this, I am guilty. Prem Acharya, we could not instill hope in you as a new political party and leader, please forgive us. May your soul rest in peace, may the family find strength to bear this pain.
