RPP Urges Election Commission to Strictly Enforce Code of Conduct Amid Violations

Kathmandu. The Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has urged the Election Commission to be serious about enforcing the election code of conduct.

Spokesperson Mohan Shrestha issued a statement on Sunday stating that a party with the bell symbol is violating the nationwide election code of conduct by ringing bells in a manner that causes noise pollution.

The statement read, "It is ironic that the Commission is acting as if it neither sees nor hears while the election code of conduct is being violated nationwide by ringing bells causing noise pollution. Would the Election Commission also accept it if a party with the khukuri symbol roamed around brandishing khukuris while ringing bells, or if a party with the bulldozer symbol drove bulldozers causing obstruction on roads and highways?"

The party expressed concern over incidents in Rautahat that disrupt social unity and harmony and create communal animosity, and appealed for the maintenance of social harmony and unity.
