MP Jhakri Criticizes Government for Creating Fear and Stagnation

Kathmandu. CPN (UML) MP Ram Kumari Jhakri has accused the government of creating an environment of fear and terror instead of creating an environment for the private sector to work.

Speaking in the National Assembly meeting on Thursday, she objected to the government's tendency to first imprison the private sector and then listen to them. Her suggestion is that the government should first listen and then imprison if necessary.

MP Jhakri commented that the policy and program for the upcoming financial year lacks novelty and is a continuation of old programs. She said that the government has not been able to utilize the great mandate given by the people.

Commenting on the policy and program, she said, 'The government's policy and program is a continuation of old programs. The points have been reduced. Old programs have been repeated and crammed in. Therefore, there is no need to comment on it. A party that has received such a large mandate should have had the opportunity to make a departure in all sectors, but it seems that the desire for change and transformation of the Nepali people will be frustrated by traditional things.'

She argued that although the government claims to focus on good governance and delivery, distributing citizenship, passports, and land ownership certificates is not the real delivery. Mentioning that the country cannot take a new path by discouraging the private sector, she urged the government to ensure the human rights and fundamental rights of all classes and communities.

She claimed that it is not even clear where the government is trying to go by creating an atmosphere of fear.
