The government cannot intervene in the court and will always respect the independent judiciary.”

Clarifying the confusion surrounding the quarantine of Nepali evacuees from China, Oli clarified that the government is not bringing Nepalis infected with coronavirus. “If they are infected, China will allow not allow them to be evacuated.” “We will quarantine them for 14 days in case they get infected on their back home”.
Regarding inflation, Oli boasted that the inflation has come down by 3%. It was 9% previously.
Oli said, there were several tuins like a cobweb previously while traveling from Naubise to Narayangadh. “I had told my colleagues to take photos of tuins so that they could show them to their posterity,” Oli said in sarcastically humorous tone. They have been replaced, now, said Oli.
