Kathmandu. Nepali Congress President Gagan Thapa has said that the government should take responsibility for the Sunsari incident. President Thapa, issuing a video statement on Tuesday evening, said that political parties, civil society and local people should also fulfill their responsibilities at this time.

Why did it happen that Om Prakash Mehta had to be shot dead? We are asking this question to the government," he said. "We are also asking the government for an answer and we will leave it even if we make it responsible." "If we lose our temper and fail to fulfill our responsibilities, we all may have to pay a heavy price," he said. Therefore, at this time there is no need for rumours, incitement and revenge, but moderation is needed, Chairman Thapa said.
