Communist Party Criticizes Government's Governance, Demands PM Apology for Border Remarks

Kathmandu. The Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) has accused the government's good governance slogan of being 'hollow'. Speaking in the House of Representatives meeting on Friday, CPN MP Ganesh Bahadur Bishwakarma questioned what kind of good governance the government intended to provide, citing the mistreatment of a diplomat who has been in public discussion, pressuring heads of constitutional commissions, and threatening statements like 'I will break your legs'.

Similarly, Bishwakarma strongly opposed the Prime Minister's recent statement regarding the border and demanded an apology in parliament. MP Bishwakarma claimed that the Prime Minister's statement made from the parliament rostrum on Jestha 17 was contrary to national sentiment and historical facts.

Bishwakarma stated that it was unnatural and objectionable for the Prime Minister of his own country to say that Nepal has also encroached upon some territory of India. He also challenged the Prime Minister to present an official map and records in parliament if new facts have been discovered, specifying which territory, from where, and how much area has been encroached upon.

He stated that the Foreign Minister's response regarding the Prime Minister's statement was not satisfactory and demanded that the Prime Minister himself appear in parliament and apologize to the Nepali people. 'Our protest will continue as long as the Prime Minister does not correct his statement. We do not accept surrender,' he said.

MP Bishwakarma also requested the Speaker to remove irresponsible statements contrary to national independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity from the parliamentary record.
