Kathmandu, Mar. 27
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said that
the opposition parties have disrupted the Parliament by making unnecessary fuss
over an irrelevant issue.
Speaking at the inaugural programme of the
8th International Women's Entrepreneurs Trade Fair on Thursday,
Prime Minister Oli said that the House should not be obstructed over the
transfer of an employee within a particular institution by turning a non-issue
into a subject of debate.
He expressed concern that the House had
been disrupted to influence the passage of bills meant to replace ordinances,
which were set to be approved by March 31.
“A person who has worked in the same
institution for years has been given responsibility, which should be
appreciated. However, instead of praising what deserves praise, false
appreciation has been given where it is not due. Similarly, baseless criticisms
have been directed where they are not warranted,” said Prime Minister Oli.
According to him, attempts are being made
to create terror under the guise of protests.
On March 28, there will be rallies and
gatherings at two locations in Kathmandu. They will take place and conclude.
That is all. There is no need to exaggerate this into something bigger than it
is.
PM Oli said that colonial and feudal
structures had held back Nepali society as a whole, with women being even more
disadvantaged. However, he noted that through struggle and sacrifice, society
had transformed and progressed on the path of development.
He further stated that while the country
had been significantly underdeveloped during the Panchayat era, it was now
moving forward with comprehensive development.
In particular, he emphasised that under his
leadership, large-scale and strategically important projects had advanced,
leaving no reason for despair.
Also speaking at the programme, senior
social activist Anuradha Koirala and others were honoured by the Prime
Minister. The trade fair, which runs until March 31, features an exhibition of
Nepali goods produced by women entrepreneurs.
