As the election approaches, UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has called for voting for the party through a video message with the spirit of putting the country first. Stating that his dreams were also burnt when Singha Dabar, the Supreme Court, the Parliament building, and the police station were burnt on Bhadra 24, he has urged people to vote for his party to protect the country and the constitution.
‘Let the self-satisfaction that I decided in favor of the nation remain with you. Even so, my days to live are less than those who have lived. But I am fighting for those who have lived more than those who have lived. That is why I have been saying country first. Now the day has come for you to say country first,’ he said, ‘Country first means constitution and rules first. Country first means land and people first. And, country first means constitution and rules first. Only if the constitution survives, your rights survive.’
He said that a guarantee is needed to protect the constitution from the election. ‘Right to speak, right to live, right to justice and right to vote. Today we need a guarantee that the constitution will not be shaken, the rules will not be violated and rights will not be trampled on. For that guarantee, we need the feeling of country first,' Oli added, 'Country first means public property first. Singha Durbar, court, parliament, roads, government offices, police posts, security agencies, all of these were built with your taxes and trust. Not only your trust is burned in these fires, but your dreams are also burned, they have been burned. Today we need a guarantee that these will never burn again.'
He mentioned that country first means national independence and self-respect first, saying that 'our strength is the power to be proud of our soil, our borders, our identity, all of these.' 'That is why today we need a guarantee that we will not lose our self-respect,' he said, 'for that guarantee, we need the feeling of country first.'
Oli said that it is his duty to speak in favor of the nation at the last moment of his life. 'Are you on the side of protecting the nation or on the side of the nation's future, whatever it may be? If you do not clarify your position and speak up for it, not history, but you will never forgive yourself. No one sees for themselves what history condemns,' he added, 'but when you reach the end of your life, when you ask yourself, should I have spoken up or not? Should I have opened my eyes and ears or not? Should I have raised my hands and feet or not? May you have the moral courage to answer that question.'
