Harka Raj Rai: Lack of Positive Attitude Towards Labor Causes Poverty

Kathmandu. The Chairman of the Labor Culture Party, Harka Raj Rai, has said that the country has always faced poverty due to a lack of positive attitude towards labor.

Participating in the discussion on the Economic Bill, 2083, in the House of Representatives meeting on Friday, he said that the country's heritage can be transformed into assets only through labor power, and therefore it is necessary to advance labor as a campaign.

Member of Parliament Rai has called on everyone to move forward by loving labor. He said that labor alone increases income in the country, so work and laborers should not be looked down upon. He also claimed to have launched a campaign saying that discrimination against those who work should not happen.

Expressing his views in the meeting, Chairman Rai said, 'I always have a kind of ideological movement, rebellion, or dissatisfaction, which is that we have gone so far from labor and laborers, from the subject of labor, that education itself has made us so. We despise people who work. We consider sweating as laziness. Our society has discriminated against work and working people for years. Our society, which does not allow people who work to be called 'Kami' and enter the house, has not changed yet.'

He urged everyone to love work by giving a message through the parliament. Criticizing the state's tax policy, he added, 'We are busy with how much tax to impose on whom, where to raise one rupee, where to raise two rupees. But we have never adopted the campaign of labor, the education that labor must be done, a positive attitude towards labor, to transform our heritage into assets. As a result, we are always poor.'
