POKHARA: Home Minister Ram Bahadur Thapa defended his ministry’s move of providing citizenship by descent saying that it was in line with the court verdict and the constitution.

Speaking at a program in Pokhara today, Home Minister Thapa said the government made the decision as scores of children of those people with citizenship by birth were deprived of citizenship.

He said the constitution has guaranteed citizenship to such children adding that the circular was issued by his ministry as an effort to address such problems immediately since there was no parliament session though the bill to amend the citizenship act was under the parliamentary discussion.

He urged one and all not to doubt on the government’s move. He further went on to add that the State Police Bill was under the discussion and the Parliament’s next session would probably pass it.
