Kathmandu, 18 November 2015: Minister for Information and Communications Technology, Sherdhan Rai, has said that it would not be acceptable to the people if voices inviting disintegration and weakening the nationality are raised after attacking on the main spirit of the new constitution.
At a programme organised by the Press Chautari Nepal here today to welcome and congratulate him, Minister Rai stressed the need of addressing some serious issues through the constitutional process.
He said, “There is a constitutional way to address some issues left out in the constitution. But the voice raised to reject the constitution, tearing it and with personal interest would not contribute to safeguarding the national integration.”
Minister Rai, also the Spokesperson of the government, said that we should involve in the main course on how to take the country ahead on an institutionalized system as the country has already taken the path of development, peace, prosperity, accountability, transparency and democracy.
He further said that the government was taking initiatives to resolve all problems through talks and attention of the World has been drawn towards unannounced border blockade and inhuman behaviour of India.
The Communications Minister also expressed belief that the disruption of supply of petroleum products would be ended soon.
