Inaugurating the 15th anniversary of Nepal Foreign Employment Association on Saturday, DPM Oli, who also holds the foreign portfolio, said the act of extorting money and executing people’s court perpetuated by the Maoists should be immediately stopped and Maoist should stop terrorizing people.

However, the Maoist leadership refutes such claims and say that they are just taking voluntary donations and the tax as per the decision of people’s government.

Stating that the government of Nepal would leave no stone unturned to institutionalize democracy and to make the dialogue with the Maoists a success, Oli said restoration of lasting peace is the first and foremost priority of the current government.

He also assured that the government is ready to cooperate to make foreign employment business dignified and transparent.

Speaking on the occasion, Minister of Labour and Transport Management Ramesh Lekhak said that the government is coming up with a new policy to make foreign employment business well managed.

He also urged the foreign employment entrepreneurs to provide concrete recommendations on the clause and conditions to be included in the policy.
