Vice President Stresses Need for Population-Based Representation in State Bodies

Kathmandu. Vice President Ram Sahay Prasad Yadav has stated that it is necessary to take initiative to ensure representation of various communities based on population in every body of the state.

Speaking at a program organized in Lalitpur on Saturday on the occasion of the seventh anniversary of the Muslim Commission, Vice President Yadav mentioned that further efforts are needed to ensure representation based on population in sectors such as civil service, judicial service, army, police, and diplomatic corps.

He also stated that in the future, the Muslim Commission should operate special programs to ensure that Muslim youth have opportunities to obtain quality education more effectively.

He expressed the view that it is necessary to emphasize programs that enable Muslim women to play leading roles in social, economic, and political spheres, as well as harmony-building programs to make diversity and coexistence the basis for lasting peace and prosperity. For this, he said, special policies of the federal, provincial, and local governments must be focused on the social, economic, and cultural empowerment of the Muslim community.

Likewise, Vice President Yadav also suggested to the Muslim Commission to continue programs that provide opportunities to youth, empower women, and further strengthen social harmony.
