BY SHANKAR ACHARYA

PARSA, Dec 5 - The much-hyped Madhesh Rakshya Bahini (Madhesh security brigade), the newly formed youth wing of the breakaway faction of Nepal Sadbhawana Party (NSP) led by Rajendra Mahato, made its first ever public appearance here at Birgunj Tuesday.

Over 100 cadres in azure jackets with the organization's logo on the front marched in various parts of the city. The "march-past" that began from Ranighat went through various parts of the city and returned to the same place, where a corner meet was organized.

Addressing the meeting, central level leader of the party Bharat Prasad Gupta, district chairman Nijamuddin Samani and secretary Shiva Patel welcomed the cadres to sincerely go to the "field of work".

Patel said members of the brigade would be mobilized in the Madhesh movement in order to control and make it disciplined. He, however, ruled out any armed activities by the cadres.

According to information given to journalists, such activists would be trained with physical exercise, judo and martial art skills and other baton battles.
