KATHMANDU, April 13: A scheduled meeting of the legislative-parliament could not begin on Tuesday after a few members demanded government´s clarification on Bardiya incident.



Bisendra Paswan and other members said they will not let the parliament run until Defense Minister Bidhya Bhandari tells parliament about the incident where three woman were shot dead by the Nepal Army.



Devisara BK (35), Chandrakala BK (12) and Amrita BK (29) were shot dead by the army inside Bardiya National Park on March 10.



Following the killings, the Nepal Army (NA) defended the security personnel charging the three women of being poachers. However, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) brushed aside the army’s claim and concluded that they were just locals who had entered the park to collect bark from kaulo trees.
