The people of Nepal are fighting for their rights, the rights to decide their own destiny.
The struggle of the people of Nepal has entered a new phase that has several dimensions including:
Struggle for abolition of monarchy;
Struggle against caste chauvinism;
Struggle against feudalism; and
Struggle against global and regional hegemony.
These are the points of convergence where the people of Bangladesh express solidarity with the people of Nepal.
We congratulate the brave people of Nepal for their continued struggle for peace, democracy and human rights including rights of the dalits, women and ethnic minorities.
We mourn the death of the unarmed people killed by the royalist forces in the movement for democracy.
We demand immediate release of all political prisoners.
We demand immediate and unconditional surrender of political power from the monarchist regime to a body chosen by the movement groups.
We urge all South Asian governments to disassociate themselves from the Gyanendra regime.
On behalf of the Solidarity Committee for Democratic Nepal
