KATHMANDU, Aug 19: Amid public criticisms that the design of the logo distributed to lawmakers was faulty and less attractive, the Federal Parliament has returned all the batch pins (i.e. logos) distributed earlier to the lawmakers to the Office of Cottage and Small Industries (OCSI) of Bagmati Province for improvement in design and decoration.

Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli has expressed resentment about media and public criticisms of his government. He has been saying: We have been doing all we can. We are committed to safeguarding fundamental rights of the citizens and upholding democratic values. We are committed to translating the vision of ‘Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali.’ But civil society has not been fair to us, nor the media. We have been targeted simply for our political ideology.
