Women’s struggle for their rights should be continued: Minister Bhusal

Kathmandu: Minister for Energy Pampha Bhusal has said women should still wage a struggle to acquire their rights.

Releasing a fiction ‘Chhori’ (Daughter) written by ANNISU (Revolutionary) leader Manisha Acharya on Sunday, Minister Bhusal argued that the fight was not over yet to implement the legal rights ensured to the women. She stated that though women’s right to property is achieved legally, it is not fully implemented.

On the occasion, Minister Bhusal recalled her stories of defiance from her student life to political career. “Taking higher education is itself a protest at a time when the society did not allow daughters to go to school,” she argued.

On the occasion, the Chairperson of Sancharika Samuha, Bimala Tumkhewa, said the debate on content written by women writers should be intensively launched. Commenting on the new book, Santosh Pariyar said Acharya’s fiction was realistic yet rebellious. Similarly, ANNISU (Revolutionary) Chairperson Pancha Singh stated that the youth should concentrate on serious reading instead of light comments. Acharya, a writer of the book, said women’s success is suspiciously construed instead of putting faith on them.
