'The security of all party leaders, including our chairman, has been removed. There is no peace and security situation, but security personnel have been withdrawn.'
The Janmat Party has said that the interim government formed for the purpose of the House of Representatives elections should be serious about federalism and inclusiveness.
In a discussion with the parties called by Prime Minister Sushila Karki in Baluwatar on Tuesday evening, Janmat leader Chandan Kumar Singh said that the government should be serious about federalism and inclusiveness.
Singh urged Prime Minister Karki to be serious about creating a negative perception towards federalism and inclusiveness. 'Creating a negative perception towards federalism is having a negative impact on inclusiveness.' Some leaders are spewing poison towards federalism,' Singh said, 'I have urged the Prime Minister to be serious about federalism and inclusiveness.'
Singh also questioned the government's withdrawal of security personnel deployed for the protection of leaders when peace and security were not guaranteed. 'The security of all party leaders, including our chairman, has been withdrawn. There is no peace and security situation, but the security personnel have been withdrawn,' he said.
Singh informed that Janmat has said that the government will participate if the environment for elections is created. Singh also said that the prisoners who escaped from prison and looted weapons during the Gen-G movement had created more insecurity in the society. Referring to what was discussed in the meeting, Singh said, 'The prisoners who escaped have not returned. If the government cannot control it, another disturbance will occur. We will participate in the elections. The government's responsibility is to create an environment. Meetings and dialogue should be continued.'
Prime Minister Karki, however, said that the government is working to create an environment for the elections and that the parties should also be together.
