RSP Whip Parivar Says Mandate Was to Improve Citizen Status, Not System

Kathmandu. Ruling party Rastriya Swatantra Party's Federal Parliamentary Party Whip Prakash Chandra Pariyar has said that the mandate received through the February elections was not to change the system but to change the condition of the citizens.

On the eve of the 19th Republic Day, Whip Pariyar stated that 6.6 million marginalized Nepalis including Dom, Chamar, Khatwe, Musahar in the Madhesh are still trapped in extreme poverty and discrimination, drawing the government's attention to change the condition of the poor, helpless, inaccessible, landless, disabled, women, Dalits, Karnalis, farmers and laborers first.

Whip Pariyar also extended his best wishes to the Nepali people on the occasion of the 19th Republic Day through his address.
