No compromise on issues of national interests, PM says

Kathmandu, Oct. 27: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said that there will be no compromise on the issues of nation and national interests for the cause of power bickering.     

Addressing a seminar on the national 'Role of Ex-Security Personnel on National Security and Development', the Prime Minister recalled the signing of the Trade and Transit Agreement with China by considering the national interest when India imposed an economic blockade on Nepal.     

"Now, attempts are made to attack the forms of national security under different pretexts. We have moved ahead with the firm determination not to harm others but to grasp our genuine interests," the PM added.     

PM Oli said that the current government of two major political parties, Nepali Congress (NC) and CPN (UML), was working to safeguard the aspirations of national unity and national interests.     

On a separate context, PM Oli, also the CPN (UML) Chairman, said the weapons that are kept under the ground and are rusted won't make any sense now and urged the concerned side not to issue threats to the Nepali society by false publicity.     

Likewise, the PM urged his critics-- who term him being unpopular -- to wait until the upcoming elections.     

Similarly, he said that democracy was not anarchy and added that any sort of threats were unacceptable in a democracy.     

On the occasion, PM Oli said that the government implemented the report of the parliamentary committee on investigations on cooperative funds' embezzlement and stated that showing unruly acts in the court defending the investigated persons was against the democratic norms and values.(RSS)
