    PM Oli cautions against deceitful remarks made by political leaders

    KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Oli has cautioned against remarks being made by leaders of various political parties to deceive the public. He also said the threat to republic federalism was a mere political stunt articulated by some selfish elements.

    Addressing a program in Kathmandu, Tuesday, PM Oli reiterated the government’s commitment to the country’s development and urged political leaders to be loyal to the nation rather than being involved in petty politics.

    The PM came down heavily on CPN-UML senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal and Maoist Center Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ for talking about unity but differing in terms of behavior to achieve unity.

    PM Oli, referring to a recent discussion held by Brihat Nagarik Andolan at Nepal Academy in Kamaladi on Saturday, slammed Nepal’s remarks in which Nepal had said he had done everything possible for unity of the party.

    He also criticized Maoist Chairman Prachanda for not being responsive when it was time to reunite. He clarified that the Supreme Court had given them 15 days to reunite the UML and Maoist Center but Prachanda “turned a deaf ear” to his call for party merger.

    “I made a phone call to him. However, later it came to my notice that Prachanda snubbed my request,” the PM said.

    He stated that there was no threat to republic federalism and urged political leaders to make meaningful remarks rather than confusing the people.

    PM Oli warns HoR dissolution could repeat

    KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Oli, justifying his move of dissolving the House of Representatives (HoR), warned the HoR could be dissolved again if a precarious situation arrives where the government and Parliament do not function effectively.

    Addressing an all-party meeting at Shital Niwas Tuesday, PM Oli remarked going for fresh elections was the obvious course of action if the political stalemate continued.

    “Article 76 and 85 have provisions for Parliament dissolution. If the government and Parliament do not run smoothly, the House could be dismissed again. One should not raise their eyebrows if so happens,” the PM told the gathering of party leaders Tuesday.

    The PM also expressed dissatisfaction over the allegation of regression against his House dissolution move.

    Likewise, parliamentary party leaders raised questions over the role of the president in the HoR dissolution at the meeting. Replying to such references, President Bhandari stated that she had truthfully abided by the constitution.

    President Bhandari said political cooperation and consensus should be continued for effective implementation of the statute and for strengthening democracy in the country. She also stressed dialogue, cooperation and unity were unique features of Nepali politics.

    The meeting concluded with the president apprising the leaders about her two-day official visit to Bangladesh on March 22.

    The meeting, which was supposed to narrow down the differences among the political parties, failed to yield a positive outcome.
