Kathmandu, Oct. 25
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) has
warned about the potential disorder created by various interest groups that may
infiltrate in various protest programmes being organised, of late.
Issuing a statement on Saturday, the MoHA
said that it has been seriously observing the programmes, including sit-ins,
rallies, and protest demonstrations, organised in public spaces such as public
roads in the name of various individuals and groups.
"This situation has arisen even as the
country had returned to the previous state where the security situation was
normalised and an election-centric atmosphere was created by resuming public
services after the demonstrations on September 8 and 9," read the
statement while further adding that as vested interest groups seeking to cause
disturbances may infiltrate such programmes and create severe disorder and
anarchy in the country at present, the organisers themselves should also be
vigilant in this regard.
Likewise, it requested
one and all to contribute to the task of promoting
national interest by maintaining communal harmony in the country, ensuring that
the rights of the people—including the right to live peacefully, the right to
obtain uninterrupted public services, and the right to participate in the
election—are not curtailed, and that public security as well as national
security is not jeopardised.
"As the government is always ready and
serious about addressing the legitimate demands, concerns, and interests of
all, all are cordially requested to seek a lawful solution to any demand solely
through the medium of talks and dialogue, without resorting to programmes like
sit-ins, rallies, protests, and agitations," stated the MoHA.
According to it, as the contribution of all
is significant and essential to conduct the election in a fair, impartial, and
fearless atmosphere while maintaining peace and security in the country on the
announced date, a corresponding role and responsibility is expected.
It also said that to create a favourable
environment for the elections, the government is engaging in talks and dialogue
with political parties and stakeholders regarding the amendment of
election-related laws and the management of resources and means.
