He also clarified that the National Independent Party's decision to remove politics from education and bureaucracy was not due to its inability to form an organization, but to improve the quality of education and protect the dignity of employees.

Prime Minister Balendra Shah has said that banning party flags in schools and party bags in the bureaucracy will not take away the rights of students and employees, but rather strengthen their professional freedom.
Making his views known on social media Facebook on Tuesday morning, Prime Minister Shah stated that the entrenched partisanship of students and bureaucracy has destroyed the country's system for years, and said that banning flags and bags in this way will further strengthen their rights and professional freedom.
Prime Minister Shah wrote, 'Many journalists, leaders, activists, businessmen and the general public have been saying the same thing for years, partisanship has ruined students and bureaucracy, for years many organizations have become 'sleeper cells' of parties more than the interests of students and employees. Access has been increased over qualifications, the price of bags and flags has been increased over capabilities. This has weakened people's trust in the system itself.'
He has also clarified that the National Independent Party's decision to remove politics from schools and bureaucracy is not due to its inability to form an organization, but to improve the quality of education and protect the respect of employees. He said, 'If you want, you can form large organizations today, but the past has shown that adding another party-based organization will not improve things.'
Prime Minister Shah has also said that the basis for transfers and promotions should be method, ability and efficiency, not party affiliation. He has written, 'Our effort is this only, that when students learn politics, they should learn from a teacher, not from a crowd of leaders. Employees should seek method, not the shadow of a leader. We want students to learn politics, but the politics of civilization, thought and responsibility. Employees should learn to serve the people, not that of any party.'
He has clarified that this step of the government is not a fight against any party but an attempt to save the system, and this is an attempt to save the future and to take the country out of party control and onto an institutional path.
He further wrote, ‘This is an attempt to free the school and bureaucracy from party-based infection. Therefore, we have removed these distortions through an ordinance as per your wishes.’ He also said that the government expects everyone’s support and trust in this work.
He said, ‘We need your support, we need trust, because change does not come through speeches, but through decisions. We have come to the government to work according to your people’s wishes. You can be assured that whatever we do, we do in the interest of the common Nepali people.’
