Vaccination is government’s priority: PM Deuba

“Development is important but life is more important”



KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said that his government’s priority was to vaccinate all Nepali people.

PM Deuba also said that safeguarding the people’s lives was his government’s first priority and thanked outgoing PM KP Oli for his good deeds carried out in the past three and half years.

Responding to lawmakers’ queries in the House of Representatives after seeking a vote of confidence Sunday, PM Deuba said, “Our common goal is to realize prosperity, sustainable peace, good-governance and development in the country through the federal republic democratic system.”

He also assured that the challenges facing the country would be addressed only through common efforts.

Stating that the right implementation and protection of Constitution of Nepal was the common destination for all, the newly appointed PM clarified that through collaboration and shared journey, we could move ahead to realize the common goals.

Citing the fact that the Constitution of Nepal was promulgated through joint efforts of the political parties, Deuba asserted that the protection and strengthening of the constitution was possible through our common efforts.

He was of the view that in multiparty system, it was normal and good to have healthy competition among the political parties subscribing different ideologies and to have healthy criticism.

Deuba, who has assumed the premiership for the fifth time, said that he was ready to take forward cooperation and shared journey for addressing common challenges and to realize common goals.

“We should mend the weaknesses by giving continuity to the good deeds of the past. Also, we should do new jobs,” the PM said.

PM Deuba also reiterated for continued dialogue, cooperation and collective efforts of the government, main opposition and all political parties.

“We (political parties) are not enemies to each other. But, we should work with the aspiration of colleagues to achieve our common goals,” he added.
