Social justice drive unprecedented: PM

 Kathmandu, Nov. 19

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda has asserted that the social justice and good governance campaign initiated by his government is unprecedented in history. Addressing a public meeting held in Maikot, Rukum East, on Sunday, he stated that the government has launched a campaign to curb regular gold smuggling, and the case is currently under consideration in court.

According to the Prime Minister's secretariat, Prachanda mentioned that relief has been provided to thousands of people through a campaign against land mafia. He emphasised the need for meaningful support from the people in this endeavor. He stated, "Until we eliminate feudal despotism, broker capitalists, and bureaucratic capitalists, the Nepali people cannot be truly considered free. Hence, the constitution stipulates that the state should be oriented towards socialism."

PM Prachanda also contended that the government's activities have demonstrated that only a Maoist-led government can effectively control anti-national activities such as corruption and smuggling. He highlighted that justice has been delivered to victims by enacting laws against loan sharks, remnants of feudalism in Terai-Madhes for an extended period.

Reflecting on his assumption of the Prime Minister's responsibilities, he shared, "I believed that I had to lay the foundation of socialism in the country differently and resolve remaining differences among the people." He explained, "Based on this perspective, I formulated a slogan for social justice, good governance, and prosperity, resolving to work distinctively and build the foundation of socialism in a novel way. Subsequent to making that resolution, reforms and groundwork for socialism have commenced in various fields."

The Prime Minister expressed his commitment to prioritize the development of Rukum East during his tenure. He claimed that Nepal's reputation has suffered due to corruption and asserted that the current government has made significant strides in combating corruption through the Good Governance Campaign.
