Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has firmly stated that inhuman and heinous crimes committed during the conflict cannot be forgiven, as the country moves toward concluding the transitional justice process.
Inaugurating the Sixth National Convention of the National Ex-Army and Police Organization of Nepal (NEAPON) today, PM Oli-who also chairs the CPN (UML)-affirmed that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappearances would work to deliver justice to victims of the conflict.
Emphasizing that there would be no further delay in the formation of these commissions, he underscored that acts such as murder, violence, incitement of religious discord, and anarchy are unacceptable, particularly in a nation that has embraced democracy after overcoming authoritarian rule.
“We are now a federal democratic republic. Anyone can go to the people, contest elections, and form a government. When the UML secured a majority and launched unprecedented initiatives for development and prosperity, we were ousted at the instigation of reactionary forces.
Today, we are part of a coalition government,” PM Oli remarked.He continued, “We have a proud history of nation-building and unity. We are committed to handing over a prosperous and undivided Nepal to the new generation. We will not allow our borders to shrink or our national pride to be diminished. We will move forward while preserving our civilized and cultured society.”
Reiterating the importance of national unity and social harmony in a diverse country, the Prime Minister called for deepening the trust placed in the nation and the UML by ex-servicemen and police organizations.
He highlighted the party’s leadership in advancing the cause of unity and harmony.PM Oli also urged the UML to organize a youth conference on the occasion of Democracy Day, April 24, to celebrate the achievements of democracy and the progress of national development.
