NC appeals to maintain social harmony

The ruling Nepali Congress (NC) has appealed to all to maintain social, religious and political harmony in the country. The NC has also expressed its concerns to the attempts made to destabilize religious, cultural and social unity and goodwill from the conflict taking place in Dharan city in the past few days.

Issuing a statement, NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba has stated that different castes, communities, religious groups and cultures in the country have been joining hands together for nation building and development by promoting mutual respect and deeper harmony.

"Also we should not forget that Nepal's law has provided freedom to follow one's religion and culture without hurting other individual and community's religion, culture and tradition. Also it is not appropriate to disrespect other's religion, culture and tradition," Deuba said.

The NC has concluded that activities to destabilize religious and cultural harmony against the aspirations and wishes of Nepalis are not constructive.

Likewise, the NC has urged every individual and community to remain alert by considering the possible situation that could arise after the eruption of social disharmony.

Furthermore, NC President Deuba has appealed to all political parties, people's representatives, religious groups and leading personality of the society to unite together to work for social harmony by realizing the sensitivities of religious instability.
