Tulsipur, April 11: Nepali Congress (NC) senior leaders have underlined the need of elections at all three levels in the stipulated time for the full-fledged implementation of the constitution by safeguarding achievements gained through the Constituent Assembly (CA).
Asserting that the election would in no way be deferred or stopped, the NC top brass cautioned the people of conspiracy being hatched to incite conflict between Madhesi and hilly people and opt to disrupt election by putting forth tiny matters.
Leaders accused the main opposition CPN-UML of trying to create tension between the cohesive relations between Madhesi and hilly people.
Harmony, reconciliation and fraternity suit for nationalism and enmity does not, leaders added.
Addressing the province-5 election campaign at Tulsipur of Dang on Monday, the leaders also warned to take action against any NC leader or cadre if they resorted to go rebel and defeat party candidate in upcoming elections.
NC had kicked off the civic polls focused campaign from Dhangadhi of Kailali on last Saturday. The party is holding election campaign in Bhairahawa on Tuesday and in Pokhara on Wednesday.
On the occasion, NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba accused the CPN-UML of weakening the country by provoking tension between hilly and Mahdesi people which he said was unfortunate.
“How the Madhesi people who have been safeguarding the country border can be anti-national? We all people of hill, mountain and Terai should live in harmony. This is the country of Nepali people from all class and region including that of women, Dalit, indigenous nationalities and marginalized people”, President Deuba added.
All three levels elections are must for the full implementation of the constitution, he said, adding that it would only safeguard the achievements attained through the CA.
“Those who revolt or rebel against the party’s candidates in the local election would face stern disciplinary action. The party would sack those standing against the institutional decision”, he added.
Senior leader and election mobilization committee coordinator Ram Chandra Poudel said the Madhes-based parties should not limit them to tiny affairs as the constitution has institutionalized the achievements of federalism, inclusion and republic while the UML should also not adopt the path of widening conflict in the country by distorting good will, reconciliation and unity..
Citing reference that NC had championed the revolution to transform Nepali society by cultivating land through plough in mountain and waging struggle in Biratnagar Jute Mill in 2007, Poudel said NC is the party of farmers and friend of workers class.
“Division and enmity would never enable nationalism but unity and cohesion would. NC would move ahead by sowing the seeds of good will among the hilly, mountainous and Madhesi people”, the NC senior leader asserted.
General Secretary Dr Shashank Koirala said the party would not be sympathetic to the rebellion candidates within the party and the membership of those trying to make the party looser would be expelled.
Former general secretary Krishna Sitaula said inciting Madhesi people would in no way be a nationalistic idea and the people from all diverse community should come together to institutionalize change.
NC central member and Irrigation Minister Deepak Giri said the party ever stands for sustainable peace and development.
Also speaking at the programme chaired by NC Dang President Kirti Bahadur Khadka were central members, Dr Minendra Rijal and Parbati DC Chaudhary and Nepal Student Union President Nain Singh Mahar. RSS
