Doha: President Ramchandra Paudel has said the upcoming March 5 election to the House of Representatives (HoR) was an outcome of the young generation’s uprising. The Head of the State has called for support from one and all to make the election a success.
According to National News Agency Nepal, in his address to the reception hosted at the Nepali Embassy in Doha, Qatar, President Paudel stated that the election will be significant for Nepal’s development and destiny, informed President’s press advisor. The young generation had waged the struggle for ending corruption, enabling good governance and development, and putting an end to the situation for the youths to seek opportunities abroad, President Paudel said, claiming that the ill-efforts of some unscrupulous elements who prioritized their interests turned abortive with the protection of the Constitution and systems.
He noted that while it is challenging to find solutions to the upheavals caused by youth movements in other countries, Nepal has presented a different story of safeguarding politics by preserving the systems and the constitution. He urged the Nepali community to apply the experience gained from Qatar’s development, progress, and technology to the development of Nepal.
