BUTWAL: Minister for Home Affairs Bal Krishna Khand has underscored on the need of adherence to the constitution for maintaining good governance in the nation.
Addressing the souvenir publication launching and felicitation program organized by Reporters Club Nepal Lumbini on the occasion of its fifth founding day in Butwal today, he said good governance would be promoted in society only if the provisions of the constitution are abided to.
“Let us pledge our allegiance to the constitution and follow good governance. Good governance cannot be had without adherence to the constitution,” the Home Minister reiterated.
He said the government had brought the Citizenship Bill based on the constitutional provision that no Nepali citizen would be deprived of citizenship.
It is unfortunate that hundreds of thousands of Nepalis are in a state of statelessness, he said, adding that the official who has to abide by the constitution has violated it. “People are facing difficulty even to buy the mobile SIM card for not having the citizenship. Hundreds of thousands of Nepalis have similar story. Who will be responsible for this?’ he said.
Noting that human development was possible by connecting the mind and heart, Home Minister Khand urged the people to make the right evaluation of the government and its leadership.
