Former PM Bhattarai Expresses Concern Over Discriminatory Practices

Kathmandu. Former Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai has expressed anger, stating that work is being done to discriminate among citizens, contrary to the universal principle of democracy that all citizens are equal in the eyes of the law. 

He raised questions through his Facebook post, stating that two bodies of the state are interpreting and implementing the same decision differently simultaneously. 

His statement is that it is a serious matter for experienced and responsible individuals and bodies involved in judicial processes to do so. Bhattarai has expressed suspicion whether some practice of certain countries is being repeated, where they first create public opinion in their favor in a Machiavellian style by declaring some organs of the state as 'holy' and others as 'unholy', and then deliberately kill democracy. 

He clarified that he has been advocating for new progressive alternative ideas and forces for the past decade and will remain firm in that commitment lifelong. He mentioned that whether in parliament or not, his continuous advocacy has been for the issue of fair investigation and action against high-ranking individuals to control corruption.

Informing that although it has been a little delayed due to being in the village for some time, he is submitting his property details within the stipulated time and urged everyone to submit their property details. He cautioned, lest the situation becomes like the English saying 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions'.
