The leader of the main opposition party and Chairman of the Maoist Center Pushpa Kamal Dahal has accused the government of trying to go towards autocracy. Addressing the meeting of the House of Representatives on Thursday, Dahal said that SAKAR has moved towards the path of repression against citizens.
The government of the first and second party will not lead towards regression and autocracy? Today, that concern has been proven in reality. "Political revenge and abuse of the state for that has become common," he opposed the bill on social media use, "freedom of expression is being tried to be controlled and narrowed." Citizens are being handcuffed and driven from one district to another even in cases where they can be sent by mutual understanding. Is it the pride of power or the fear of the people?'
He He also said that the bill registered in the parliament for the operation, use and regulation of social media is objectionable. "In the name of social media regulation, it not only curtails the right of freedom of speech provided by the constitution of citizens, but also controls the freedom of the press," he added, "In this bill, citizens are being hanged step by step with prison and fines." What will the government do if such a bill is passed tomorrow?
President Dahal said that they fired on those protesting against the cable car in Pathibhara. In the Pathibhara cable car dispute, you directly fired at the people. Understanding the sensitivity of Pathibhara and Mukumlung's dispute, why are you walking the opposite path of repression when a solution should be found through dialogue and understanding? You arrested citizens even because someone's photo was seen on a t-shirt," he said. Now they are trying to legally control the freedom of expression and press by bringing the Social Media Regulation Bill. what is this Are you above civil sovereignty? Above the constitution? Are you masters and citizens are slaves?'
