“We have 60 years old history in Nepal and we already have 8,500 churches across the country. In the churches we maintain proper lists of the members along with their identity and photographs. On that basis I can claim that our population is over 2.5 million,” he said, adding, “The figure mentioned in the census report is unacceptable.”
Gahatraj also said the community is concerned over the non-implementation of the 6-point agreement reached with the government in the past. “Regarding both the issue, we are going to hand over a memorandum to the National Planning Commission and the prime minister´s office tomorrow [Wednesday]. If they don´t act on our demand, we will launch protests including hunger strike,” he said.
