Kathmandu, Mar. 5
The government has termed the
news reports published as expressed by former Prime Minister and Chairman of
the CPN-UML KP Sharma Oli as misleading.
A statement issued by Minister
for Communication and Information Technology Rekha Sharma on Sunday read that
the government’s serious attention was drawn to the news reports.
“The expression that the
government has started a work to establish a university in Baragung Muktikshetra
Rural Municipality in Mustang district is completely misleading. I would like
to clarify that the Government of Nepal has not made any decision regarding
this,” Minister Sharma said in the statement.
According to her, the government
would investigate the information that the local government of Baragung
Muktikshetra RM wrote a letter to the Embassy of India in Nepal requesting the
latter for the support to establish a college. The truth and the facts would be
published soon, said Minister Sharma.
Terming the baseless blame on the Prime Minister and the government a
‘sorrowful’ event, she maintained that it was inappropriate since such
statements hamper the foreign policy of the country.
Minister Sharma also urged the
media and people not to be misled by such fake and misleading speeches.
“Nepal Government has always
stood firm for the country’s
sovereignty, integrity, national interest and independent and balanced
diplomacy,” she said, adding that Nepal is committed to its non-alignment
policy and the principles of Panchasheel.
