Kathmandu, Jan. 12
Minister for Communication and Information
Technology Jagdish Kharel has urged voters to cast their ballots for change in
the House of Representatives election scheduled for March 5.
Inaugurating the 20th General
Assembly of the Educational Consultancy Association of Nepal (ECAN) in
Kathmandu on Monday, he said that as the country is seeking change, people should
vote in favour of change. “The country wants a change. Whoever wins through the
election, we must bring good leadership. We should not become slaves to
political parties or blind followers of leaders,” he said.
He stressed that candidates should not be
motivated only by the lure of office but should also focus on delivering good
work during their term. He emphasised the need to act independently and perform
responsibly rather than seeking positions under the pressure or influence of
political parties and leaders.
Minister Kharel said ECAN entrepreneurs
have contributed, even if modestly, to improving the country’s economy, and
pledged to support the organisation in the future regardless of the position or
profession he holds.
The minister added that the significance of
public office lies not in how long one remains in position but in the work
carried out while in office. He said that although his time in government has
been brief, he has focused on making his contributions effective.
Speaking on the occasion, ECAN President
Shesh Raj Bhattarai said the organisation has been playing a significant role
in producing skilled human resources through quality education.
