He, however, said peace and security are prerequisites to free and fair elections. "The weapons looted from police offices and the prisoners escaped from various jails during the September 8-9 Gen Z movement must be returned," he said, adding that there is no option before the country but to hold the election successfully on the slated date.
According to him, once the youths of political parties are ensured 40 percent participation at the local level, 30 percent at the provincial level and 20 percent at the federal level, it would be helpful to curb corruption and maintain transparency and accountability in the system. The leader also pointed out the need to keep teachers at community schools away from political engagement.
On a different note, he blamed the government’s discrimination against Biratnagar Metropolis in resource allocation, resulting in comparative backwardness.
