Nepali Congress MP Narendra Kerung Accuses Government of Neglecting National Issues

Kathmandu. Nepali Congress MP Narendra Kerung has accused the government of being irresponsible on serious issues of the country's nationality, border security, and people's livelihoods. 

Speaking to media persons in the parliament building premises after the House of Representatives meeting resumed after a five-day suspension, MP Kerung stated this.

MP Kerung emphasized that the country's dignity and nationality are more important than the budget, and the protest will continue until a satisfactory response is received from the Prime Minister or the concerned bodies regarding border security. He stated that the parliamentary deadlock could not be resolved because the all-party meeting convened after the ruling party's president's visit to India ended inconclusively. He stressed that the government should be the guardian of all citizens, not just one party, and should be accountable to the people's questions.

Informing the media about the issues he intended to raise in the House of Representatives meeting, MP Kerung strongly objected to the incident where students' mobile phones were confiscated and destroyed in schools. He termed this act as the 'pinnacle of thoughtlessness'. Stating that it is unjust to destroy property purchased by parents with their hard-earned money for their children in this manner, he demanded that the government immediately provide compensation to the concerned students.

Similarly, MP Kerung drew the government's serious attention to the fact that farmers are suffering greatly due to the monkey menace spread across the country, and migration from hilly areas has also increased. He stated that the government should immediately consult with wildlife experts to protect the crops cultivated by farmers with great effort in the villages.

He put forward the demand that the government should formulate necessary policies and laws to properly manage this problem in an environmentally friendly manner and protect the rights of farmers.
