NCP Lawmaker Criticizes Government's 100-Day Plan for Ignoring Critical National Issues

Kathmandu. Madankumari Sah, a National Assembly member from the Nepal Communist Party, has expressed strong objections to the government's recently unveiled '100 Works in 100 Days' action plan, stating that it fails to address the country's fundamental and serious problems. Addressing the National Assembly session, she remarked that the government remains silent on pressing issues in education, foreign employment, and the agricultural sector.

She urged the government to abandon the politics of vendetta and work in accordance with the rule of law and public aspirations. While acknowledging the government's 100-day plan, leader Sah argued that it fails to touch upon real-world problems.

She expressed disappointment over the lack of concrete plans regarding the widespread mismanagement in the education sector, challenges in foreign employment, and the management of Nepali youth at risk due to conflicts abroad. Warning the government to be vigilant, she highlighted the growing threat to food security caused by harmful pesticides and non-reproducible seeds in agriculture. She emphasized that addressing border issues and diplomatic irregularities should be the government's priority.

During her address, Sah recalled that the Federal Democratic Republic was achieved through the great sacrifices of the Nepali people and stated that its protection and strengthening should be the top priority. She questioned, 'Why is the government's 100-point plan silent on the management of youth returning from foreign employment, fuel shortages, and the control of soaring inflation?'

She drew the government's attention to the need for the rule of law in a democracy, stating that actions should not be driven by a spirit of revenge against any individual or group. Expressing concern over rising incidents of violence against women, Sah questioned the government on how long victims must protest at Maitighar to receive justice for heinous crimes like the rape and murder of Inisha BK.

She demanded that the Shaheed Dashrath Chand Health Science University be fully operationalized this fiscal year for the development of Sudurpashchim. Furthermore, she strongly urged the government to accelerate the construction of major hydropower projects such as West Seti and Karnali.
