Will resolve issues of citizenship by passing bill, PM Deuba says

Prime Minister and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba has promised to resolve the issues of citizenship by passing the bill on citizenship from the parliament.

Addressing an election rally organised by five-party alliance in Janakpurdham on Saturday, the PM said the government will table the bill on citizenship and pass it from the parliament to address the issues of citizenship.

“We tried to table the bill on citizenship in the parliament to address the issues of citizenship. But, we could not table it due to UML’s obstruction to the House proceedings,” the PM said while assuring to table and pass it from the upcoming House Session.

In his address to the assembly, the PM reiterated that upholding the five-party alliance is the need of the hour and warned that cadres and leaders going against the party’s directive and alliance would be immediately booked.

“Party’s leaders and cadres have to abide by discipline. Filing nomination against the party’s direction and campaigning to defeat the (five-party) alliance is not acceptable. We will immediately take action to them,” Deuba said.

The PM was of the view that the five-party alliance should be given continuity since efforts were made to trample the democratic republic and federalism brought by the people after a massive struggle.

Also speaking at the event, CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ said political stability and development in the country was possible only if the alliance was made stronger adding that the five-party alliance was formed as the historical necessity.

He argued that the five-party alliance was formed with the perception for fresh beginning of development and prosperity along with the political stability in the country.

The alliance should be continued in all three layers of elections to safeguard democracy, strengthen the republicanism and meet the people’s aspirations.
