Kathmandu: Mohan Gopal Khetan, one of the industrial wizard of the country, has said that Nepal today do not need the existence of “frustrated and depressed brains” and hopes that those depressed ones will henceforth dedicate themselves in social activities and that what the nation needed today is the prevalence of clean and real social activists who could share the pleasures and the sorrows of the down trodden mass.
This he said while felicitating the constitutional monarch last week by the Agrawal Community based in Nepal.
On the occasion Mr. Khetan also appealed the King to look into the land owned by the community in Dev Ghat and right here in Maharajgunj which, according to him., were at the moment grabbed by a few greedy individuals thus not allowing the community to expand their social activities that were all aimed at the betterment of the poor section of the society.
Moreover, he assured the monarch that the members of his community were ready to offer their unconditional and prompt support to the monarch should he so desire.
Mr. Khetan recalled that his community had rendered its support at the time of Nepal-Tibet war in the 19th century by supplying the needed rations/food stuffs to the Nepali warriors. In the same vein, we also supported, said Khetan, at time of the Great earthquake of the 1990 B.S.
“We have a track record of supporting the victims of natural disasters as and such sad events have gripped the nation and its population.
“We who come from the lineage of Maharaj Agrasen and we who comply to the rules and procedures set by Shri Agrasen assure His Majesty that we will contribute to assist unconditionally the monarchy and the poor section of the society from our modest earnings”, continued Khetan.
Concluding his remarks, Mr. Khetan lambasted at those who got lands from the Nepali Kings in the past but instead of supporting to the cause of the nation preferred to invite the alien forces. According to him, the King should be in knowledge of those that amassed wealth after the 1990 change and wished that they be penalized. (Excerpts only).
