KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said that a new coalition government comprising of two big parties had to be formed after the political uncertainty, instability and corruption crossed the limit.
Addressing a programme organized on the occasion of the 37th Establishment Day of Society for the Liberation of Oppressed Castes, Nepal here today, PM Oli, who is also the CPN (UML) Chairman, reiterated that the present government was formed with the goal of maintaining political stability and good governance.
“We will take the nation towards the destination by bringing back good governance and development. The CPN (UML) and the Nepali Congress are moving ahead with the single goal of social reform,” he said.
The PM and UML Chair further said: “During the time of the King, people were entrapped by filing a variety of cases and spreading caste bigotry. We are humans and all humans are equal. We will also work on amending the existing laws for banishing caste discrimination.”
He asserted that the present government is committed to eliminating the caste ‘untouchability’ and communalism, stating nobody can be happy suffering from injustice, caste discrimination and distress.
The PM stressed on removing inequality and caste discrimination for the people to be happy.
Stating that provisions have been made in the Constitution itself for ensuring social justice and equality, he said, “Humans are the same. Nobody becomes superior at birth. To say that someone is superior or belongs to the ‘higher caste’ at birth is unacceptable. The government does not recognize such notion.”
Nepali Congress President and former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba underscored on adhering to the Constitution and laws as well as social reform for ensuring the equality of castes.
