Kathmandu, Sept 21: The standing committee meeting of the major opposition CPN-UML has expressed serious objection to the joint statement and the consultation with India regarding Nepal’s constitution during Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s recent visit.
The UML decried the joint statement saying the statement mentioning the common stand with Nepal and India to be built on various issues in different international forums is to bring in interference on Nepal’s foreign policy.
“Nepal has been maintaining its relations with all friendly countries including neighbours based on UN Charter, Panchasheel principles, and Non-Aligned foreign policy for long. But, the present government’s activities as assigning special envoys, holding unnecessary meetings during the visit, and giving irresponsible speeches have badly besmirched,” said a press release issued by Secretary and publicity department chief of the party, Yogesh Bhattarai.
The UML also drew the government’s attention that it was unrespectable to form a joint mechanism to monitor the projects run on bilateral assistance. The agreement on setting up pipeline with India for fuel supply was not appropriate, as it affects Nepal’s right to free trade and trade diversification.
At today’s meeting, Chairman KP Sharma Oli presented the political report to be presented in the central committee meeting of the party to begin from Wednesday.
The party also flayed the bomb explosion at different schools in Kathmandu today. Those involved in such crime must be brought to book, underscored the party, urging the government to provide ample security and safety to all people. RSS
