Violence challenge to democracy: Gupta

Rajbiraj, Sept. 11 (RSS): Nepali Congress Central Member and Minister for Information and Communications Jayaprakash Prasad Gupta laid the foundation stone for the office building of Nepali Congress Saptari district working committee to be constructed at ward No-1 of Rajbiraj Municipality today.

Rajbiraj Municipality had recently provided half Katha of land worth Rs. 800,000 free of cost to the committee.

Speaking on the occasion Minister Gupta said the adverse condition arising as a result of the politics of murder and violence in the country is a challenge to democracy and that every sector should give a serious thought to this matter.

Mr. Gupta also expressed the view that the people carrying out the politics of murder and violence will not have any affect on the society if the support of the general public towards politics of democratic principles is regenerated and mobilised.

Stating that the Maoists have been running a campaign to kill innocent people who have not taken up arms against them but have expressed their protest, Mr. Gupta pointed out the need for all the political parties to organise political programmes in the villages on the basis of a political understanding.

He also pointed out the need to formulate and run district level programmes in the districts and national level programmes throughout the country in order to activate political activities of the party.

The two-storey building of the party is to be constructed with assistance from NC workers and well-wishers, according to NC Saptari.

Saptari DDC Chairman Dinesh Kumar Yadav and deputy Mayor of Rajbiraj Municipality Lalit Kumar Kantha also expressed their views at the function chaired by NC Saptari district president Nagendra Jha.

Also today, Minister for Information and Communications Gupta inaugurated the head office of Altakawa Multiple Cooperatives Ltd. and the office building of Sagarmatha Tempo Entrepreneurs Association.
