The UML General Secretary, giving his party’s views on the recent events, said the recent occurrence should be taken with Nepalese people’s sensitivity towards nationalism and dissatisfaction towards the government’s performances. “And also,” he said, “Of the negative elements, including the Maoists and the other Left factions, trying to take advantages of the situation and exploit people’s feelings for unscrupulous gains.” He said often minor incidents are exaggerated and are given communal colour.
“The UML is also organising a good-will rally from Mechi in the east to Mahakali in the West,” Nepal said at a programme at the Reporters’ Club today.
Nepal was create more disharmony and rift in the society. He said the UML is committed to pluralistic system of governance and to multi-party democracy.
