Kathmandu, Dec. 14 -- Kathmandu Mayor Bidya Sundar Shakya, who has come under severe criticism for failing to deliver on his promises, on Friday, hit out at the ongoing 'Occupy Tundikhel' campaigners, saying their campaign is nothing but a publicity stunt.

"It's just a stunt to show their presence on the social media," Shakya told a press conference at Yellow Pagoda Hotel in Kantipath.

The press meet was organised to announce the plans and programme for the 25th anniversary of the Kathmandu Metropolitan City to be held on December 14 and December 15.

"This campaign is the handiwork of some politically-motivated people," said Shakya, dismissively.

This isn't the first time Shakya has lashed out against the campaign.
