CPN (UML) Chairperson and former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said the ongoing peace process should be concluded on the basis of a consensus.
At a tea reception organised by the party at party headquarters in Chyasal on Wednesday on the occasion of Dashain, Tihar, Nepal Sambat and Chhath festivals, Chair Oli stressed the need of taking the peace process to a conclusion by implementing the order of the Supreme Court and by keeping the victims in centre. "Attention should be paid about the things pointed out by the UN Human Rights Council regarding peace process", he shared.
Chair Oli mentioned that no comments should be made politically during festivals, adding "There are weaknesses among each other and there will be negative impacts on the prestige of festivals while pointing out the weaknesses of each other."
Stating that festivals are connected with traditions and social relations, he said different contexts have proved the significance of festivals.
Speaker Devraj Ghimire, National Assembly Chairperson Ganesh Prasad Timilsina, NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba, former prime ministers-Jhalanath Khanal and Baburam Bhattarai, former chairperson of the Council of Ministers Khilraj Regmi, Chairperson of the Rastriya Janamorcha Chitra Bahadur KC, General-Secretary of the CPN (ML) CP Mainali, top leaders of different political parties, heads of diplomatic missions, office-bearers of constitutional council, among others were present on the occasion.
The then Chairperson and former Prime Minister Manamohan Adhikari had initiated the festival tea reception for the first time in 2052 BS and the CPN (UML) is continuing it every year.
The UML had not organised tea reception last year due to elections to the House of Representatives and Province Assembly.
