POKHARA: Nepali Congress (NC) President and former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said that there is no reason to distrust Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.
Addressing an orientation program for all 77 district presidents and training department chiefs of the NC in Pokhara on Tuesday, Deuba said it is necessary to collaborate with other parties for the stability of the country.
Deuba claimed that political stability could be achieved if the NC and CPN-UML formed a long-term alliance. He added that although Nepal’s constitution is one of the best in the world, some difficulties have arisen in its implementation, necessitating constitutional amendments. “An agreement has already been reached with the UML for constitutional amendments. We should also bring others on board to move forward,” he added.
Former Prime Minister Deuba also insisted that the federal democratic system enshrined in the constitution is the best, as it includes the rights of all citizens through inclusive and proportional representation. “We were the ones who introduced an open market policy. The constitution was also promulgated under our leadership,” Deuba said.
Stating that the impacts of climate change are starting to get visible, he urged all to work together to mitigate its effects.
Also speaking on the occasion, NC Vice President Purna Bahadur Khadka, who also also the party’s Training Department, said all should join hands to strengthen federalism. He also called on all leaders and cadres to resolve internal issues within the party. “It is wrong to say it’s unfair when one doesn’t get opportunities. No one should spread disappointment among party workers,” he added.
The program, which is being organized by the Nepali Congress Central Policy Research and Training Institute and managed by the Nepali Congress Gandaki Province, saw the participation of around 200 people, including all 77 district presidents and vice-presidents and chiefs of district training branches.
NC also held a similar orientation program for the provincial presidents and provincial training department chiefs on Monday.
