Former PM Oli appeals for collective efforts for Constitution protection

Kathmandu, Sept 19: CPN (UML) Chair and erstwhile Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has appealed to all to get united for the protection of the Constitution and national sovereignty.

Issuing a press statement today on the occasion of the Constitution Day, he described the Constitution as a road map to the future, crafted by Nepali citizens themselves. 

Accusing of the infiltration during the recent two-day Gen-Z nationwide protests, causing violence, he expressed his sorrow over the loss of valuable lives during the demonstrations. 

As the then Prime Minister, he said no order was given to shot at demonstrators who were youths deliberately. "Incidents involving the use of automated arms not in possession of the police should be investigated," he demanded.  

Reiterating his grief over the deaths of youths during the demonstrations, he wished for speedy recovery of the injured. 

He claimed that the new generation is capable of assessing the situations both in the past and the present, and also expressed his concern over the arson attacks on the Singha Durbar, the country's major administrative hub.  (RSS)
