KATHMANDU: CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has called for national unity and peace.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Oli urged all sections of society to unite in the interest of the nation and maintain peace.
“Problems cannot be solved through conflict and violence. Dialogue, consensus, and responsible cooperation will provide a way for the country to overcome the current complexities,” he said in the statement.
“At a time when the nation’s existence, peace and security, and social harmony are facing challenges, I sincerely call upon all political parties, civil society, intellectuals, and leaders of various religious and social communities to unite for the national interest and peace.”
Oli also warned that attempts may be underway to divide the people and pursue undesirable objectives.
“I sincerely request the leaders and activists of CPN-UML and other political parties, civil society members, media personnel, and all citizens to exercise restraint and actively contribute to maintaining social harmony and unity without being influenced by any misleading propaganda,” he said.
At the same time, Oli criticized what he described as the government’s indifference, excessive use of force, and silence at a time when national security and social order had reached a sensitive stage, saying such conduct was highly suspicious and condemnable.
