KATHMANDU: Prime Minister K P Oli has asserted that the signing of the 11-point agreement with secessionist leader C K Raut has brought all political pretensions to an end.

“Be assured, all political pretensions have come to an end now,” PM Oli said at a program in the capital today. “What can be more convivial than this,” PM Oli said referring to Raut’s commitment of joining the mainstream politics by forsaking his separatist movement.

Prime Minister Oli sniffed sarcasm on some people passing “negative comments” on the agreement while he ridiculed them of being suspicious on government’s every move.

Now that, he went on to say, the country is on the path of prosperity and good governance. “Let’s not run behind rumors,” he said adding that there remains no voice of separatists in the country. “Let’s all move ahead in unitedly,” he said.

“Until a couple days back, there was a secessionist group fighting for a separate country. There were voices of secession. Now that the group has expressed its commitment to respect the country’s sovereignty and integrity, and join the mainstream politics,” he said expressing bewilderment over the people’s “suspicious” attitude, “Is it wrong to abandon secessionist movement and make a commitment to the country’s constitution and sovereignty?”

Now that, he went on to say, the country is on the path of prosperity and good governance. “Let’s not run behind rumors,” he said adding that there remains no voice of separatists in the country. “Let’s all move ahead in unitedly,” he said.

Prime Minister Oli also reminisced these old days when all political parties, including the current main opposition Nepali Congress, fought for democracy together. “We currently have an opposition that has always remained together with us during the entire democratic struggle. We have paid a very high price for democracy. We were together in the rallies and prisons. Therefore, let’s walk together for the country’s prosperity,” he urged the opposition.
