UML has also objected to the inquiry commission's decision to suspend the passports of President KP Sharma Oli and others.
UML has objected to the directive given by the Ministry of Home Affairs to the Nepal Police not to prosecute those involved in the arson and vandalism on 24 August. The UML has accused that the instructions given by the Home Office not to take any action, saying that the person involved in such an act falls under the jurisdiction of the Commission of Inquiry, is trying to give immunity to the culprits involved in the demolition.
The meeting of UML's central secretariat held on Sunday has also demanded to allow the police to conduct an uninterrupted investigation. "This directive has not only interfered with the legal jurisdiction of the Nepal Police, it also has the objectionable intention of increasing the morale of criminals and giving them immunity," UML Deputy Secretary General Pradeep Gyawali said after the meeting.
UML has also objected to the inquiry commission's decision to suspend the passports of President KP Sharma Oli and others. The Central Secretariat expresses serious objection to this politically vindictive move. "Such vindictive decisions have raised serious questions about the credibility of the commission," the UML secretariat said in its decision.
UML has suspected that the election will be held at the appointed time, accusing the government of going on the path of banning political parties. Although it has been two weeks since the formation of the government, there has been no dialogue or contact with the main political parties. Is there really an election situation? Serious question. Elections should be held in a fair and fearless environment. It seems that the government is gradually trying to move away from the path of prohibition," said Deputy Secretary General Gyawali.
He objected that some people are openly saying to cause material damage by targeting political parties. While giving an interview, it has been said that we will not allow the old parties to participate in the elections. Does this indicate the elections to be held after five months?'' he added.
UML has decided to convene a central committee meeting on October 27-29 to decide on the latest political developments. UML has also demanded to investigate the incidents of 23rd and 24th August and take action against the culprits. The UML concluded that there was infiltration in the Jen-G movement causing human losses. UML claims that there is an infiltration of reactionary elements in the arson of the presidential residence, Singha Dabar, Supreme Court, Parliament building, government agencies, commercial buildings, and private residences.
Why couldn't we assess these big events? Where was the gap in government information? We will review it," Deputy Secretary General Gyawali said, "This is not a political party's problem, it is a national problem. We have asked all pro-democracy parties and civil society to play a positive role in protecting the constitution and democracy.
UML leadership reorganization was also discussed in the meeting. He says that the Central Committee will set the date of the convention and take the party and the leadership in a new way. How to move the party forward in a new way, what should be done about the leadership? We have discussed where to improve the performance," Gyawali added, "After the central committee, we will probably go to the convention soon."
