Kathmandu, June 1: Supreme Court judge Laxman Prasad Aryal has said that if all concerned could translate the spirit of the constitution into reality, problems such as Maoists and corruption could be resolved and there could be peace in the country.
Inaugurating a talk programme concerning “Peace: Our Rights” on the occasion of the founding day of the human rights and peace society here today, Mr Aryal said if everything is expected from the government in democracy, every sector will be lagging behind, development and peace can be ensured only if the civil society rises.
Former minister and MP Dr. Ramsharan Mahat said that as there was a provision in the constitution to approach the people with one’s policy and programmes, it was irresponsible to resort to violence.
Dr. Mahat called for resolving the Maoists problem as early as possible to maintain peace and tranquillity.
MP Narayaman Bijukchhe said that unless a society without any classes was established, the targeted peace cannot be attained.
MP Govinda Bikram Shaha said that as the maoists problem had been taken lightly in the beginning, it had become complicated now. As the reports of various commissions constituted by the government have not been implemented, the corrupt persons have been encouraged and such persons should be boycotted socially.
President of the forum for protection of human rights and former MP Padma Ratna Tuladhar, senior journalist and central member of the society Purushottam Dahal and president of Amnesty International Nepal Chapter Krishna Kandel also expressed their views at the programme chaired by president of the society Krishna Pahadi.
