Harkaraj Rai, chairman of the Labour Culture Party, has called on Prime Minister Walendra Sah to issue an apology in parliament. According to Rai, the Prime Minister’s remarks pose a serious threat to the country’s territorial integrity and sovereign authority. He also expressed suspicion that the statement might have been made to influence India.
May 31, Kathmandu – Speaking to journalists after a meeting of the House of Representatives, Rai emphasized the need for an apology, stating that Prime Minister Sah’s comments were against national interest. He said, “What he expressed is entirely incorrect, and it is not appropriate for the head of the executive to speak in such a manner.” Rai claimed that the Prime Minister’s remarks have brought a significant security challenge to the country.
He further added, “Following such expressions, reports have emerged of Indian soldiers entering various locations with weapons and plans being obstructed.” Rai pointed out that the Prime Minister’s statement that ‘Nepal has encroached on India’s border’ endangers the country’s territorial integrity and security.
Calling the Prime Minister’s slip astonishing, Rai remarked, “How could such a respected person like the Prime Minister make this mistake?” He also questioned the recent meeting held on May 30, stating, “Perhaps an urgent meeting was necessary because Mr. Ravi was about to travel to India?”
