UML's newly elected Chairman KP Sharma Oli has warned that the country will come to a standstill if the party leadership is touched. Addressing party workers in Kathmandu after the party's swearing-in ceremony on Thursday, Chairman Oli said this.
He instructed party workers to be ready for the movement, mentioning that the Panchayat-era atrocities of physical attacks on the party leadership have begun. He said, 'The UML leadership has not been affected by propaganda rumors. Now there are rumors of physical attacks or the resumption of Panchayat-era atrocities of filing fake cases. This media trial may be a real rumor. I want to tell you, the country should come to a standstill the day the UML leadership is touched. This government must fall. This government will be toppled. For this, the CPN (UML) should be prepared from all over the country.'
President KP Sharma Oli, who was elected for the third term, has said that the agreement between Gen–G and the government is illegal. He called the agreement a drama, saying that the government had made an unauthorized agreement with Gen–G.
He said, ‘It is a drama without art. It is a vulgar drama. It is a drama that will push the country towards discomfort. Therefore, the UML rejects it. It will not allow it to be implemented.’ He also said that political parties should move forward together.
UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli, who was elected for the third term, has said that the current government is preparing for a conspiracy without preparing for the election.
