Regressive forces worry over government moves in favour of people: PM Prachanda

Kathmandu, June 14: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' has said that the government's positive initiatives in favour of the people have created fear among anti-people forces.

While receiving a memorandum from a delegation of the Press Centre Nepal at his official residence in Baluwatar today, the Prime Minister stressed the need of resisting the culture of protesting the government's 'commendable actions'.     

Initiations to provide direct services to the people, to promote the rights of Nepali who are abroad, to end malpractices and misconduct and steps taken during the recent India visit have contributed to building a positive atmosphere, causing panic among reactionary and regressive forces, according to him.     

He said, "Anti-people forces are now without any agenda and are well exposed to the people. Endeavours taken by bracing the odds have made the government further strong."     

Through the memorandum, the Press Centre has drawn the government's attention towards several issues facing the country, people and working journalists.     

The Centre stressed the need to further institutionalise the right to the Press and the right to opinion and the freedom of expression guaranteed by the Constitution, underlining the need for unity among progressive forces towards that end. (RSS)
