A commitment to bring through the Education and Civil Rights Act
CPN (UML) Senior Vice President Ishwar Pokharel has said that the former King Gyanendra Shah will be punished for the wrong done by the citizens in the violent incident that took place in Tinkune, Kathmandu on Chait 15.
Addressing the awakening meeting organized by party district committee Kaski on Saturday, he said that the government is well aware of the issue of trying to lead the country to conflict and violence. "We are going to make (the former king) a part of the punishment in the same way as a citizen should be part of the punishment for doing wrong," Pokharel said.
Pokharel claimed that the main planner of the three-cornered incident was former king Shah. He claimed that the purpose of the demonstration of Chait 15 was murder, violence, vandalism and arson. "That program was organized with the purpose of murder, violence, vandalism, arson," said Pokharel, "I would like to inform you that the person in charge, the planner, the mastermind of all that work was Purvaraja Gyanendra, who will now be investigated through due process."
Senior Vice President Pokharel says that the present government will pass the Education Act and the Civil Service Act at the Barkhe session. He said that the agitating teachers need to find a solution through dialogue. "In order to address the demands of the teachers, we will bring and pass the education bill in the first phase of the next session," said Pokhrel, "since the discussion is ongoing in the committee, the process will be finalized." Pokharel instructed the workers to be active accordingly as the election will be contested alone. Pokharel said that since CPN (Maoist Center) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has created instability through the 'magic number', they have to meet immediately to end it.
