KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Sushila Karki has reiterated her commitment to holding elections on the scheduled date in a fearless environment.
During a meeting with political parties at Baluwatar on Tuesday, PM Karki said, “The government is committed to conducting elections on time and in a fearless atmosphere. Ministers, security agencies, and all of us are working round the clock to make this happen.”
Explaining the delay in holding talks with political parties, she said, “We had to focus on the treatment of the injured, management of martyrs’ bodies, relief for the families, and listening to the concerns of the agitators. That took some time.”
According to her, the GenZ youth group was initially reluctant to engage in dialogue with the parties. “The President has now opened the door for dialogue. It’s time for GenZ and the political parties to sit together, normalize the situation, and move toward elections,” PM Karki said.
She urged all sides to play their part in ensuring the success of the upcoming polls, adding, “The government is ready to address the concerns and issues you have raised.”
