Students affiliated with Nepal Congress shout slogans against Maoist Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal who sacked army chief General Rookmangud Katawal in Kathmandu May 4, 2009. Nepal's President Ram Baran Yadav, who hails from an opposition party and is commander-in-chief of the army, called the move unconstitutional and has asked Katawal to stay in his post, a spokesman said on Monday, defying the Maoist government and thrusting the Himalayan republic deeper into political crisis.
