‘I am active for people’s identity, access and representation’: Koirala

Khotang, May 31: Nepali Congress (NC) leader Dr Shekhar Koirala has clarified that he was active for the assurance of identity, access and representation of the Nepali people.

In his address to a grand Sakela performance organised today in Tuwachung-Jaayajum of Khotang – the original place of the Kirant community, leader Koirala said he was with the Kirant community in their fight for identity, access and representation. “NC ever believes in the notion of eliminating conflict and finding identity. I had raised the issue of identity, inclusion and proportional representation during the making of the Constitution through the Constituent Assembly (CA).

The issues have been incorporated in the main law of the land”, he noted. “All religions, castes and cultures have equal rights. The civilised society can be built only through mutual respect”, he mentioned. In a different note, leader Koirala stated that the current coalition government did not have the luxury of failure. “We need to focus on good governance, accessible and transparent service delivery, job creation, and economic reforms. It is essential to carry out several works as per the public aspirations”, Koirala added.

In interactions with party workers in the district, leader Koirala claimed that the country cannot progress unless the NC leads the government. He also informed that they were working to accomplish the party’s 15th national convention within coming December 15.
