March 8, Kathmandu – Independent Member of Parliament Mahaveer Pun has stated that former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli should admit that mistakes were made during the JNU movement. Responding to questions from journalists on Tuesday at the Federal Parliament building, MP Pun emphasized that although the then Prime Minister Oli and Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak did not give orders to fire bullets, as the head of the government, Oli must accept responsibility and apologize without hesitation.
He stressed that subordinates’ mistakes are issues that the leading figure must acknowledge. “Today, they say they did not give the order to shoot. However, they are the leaders. How can someone be comforted by the excuse that they did not know? When you are the leader and a subordinate commits a mistake, you must accept it. You have to say sorry,” Pun said. “Apologizing does not diminish a person’s worth; it elevates it. If you do not take responsibility for mistakes as the accountable person, how can you be considered a leader? This is my personal view.”
