Govt serious to resolve problems: Chaudhary

Biratnagar, Jan. 13 (RSS): Minister of State for Information and Communications Hari Narayan Chaudhari has explained that the state of emergency had been declared for containing the problem of Maoist terrorism in the country.

Minister of State Chaudhari was speaking at a programme organised by the Morang district Nepali Congress Hattimudha village committee to welcome 20 CPN-UML cadres who dissociated from the CPN-UML and joined the Nepali Congress.

He said the country was at present beset with many problems, the major one being the Maoist problem and the government was seriously moving ahead towards resolving the problems.

The people should also initiate effective measures towards resolving these problems, he stressed.

Chaudhary said the present government has the full mandate of the people and it is steadfast and resolved in its commitment to addressing all the problems of the country and its all-round development.

At the programme presided over by Nepali Congress Hattimudha village committee president Abadh Narayan Biswas, village committee member Shiva Narayan Majhi, Shiswani Badhara, VDC chairman Paduram Biswas, Nepali Congress regional representative Binod Kumar Chaudhari and others also spoke on the occasion.

Meanwhile, Minister of State for Information and Communications Chaudhari has expressed the conviction that the Maoist issue could be resolved by changing the mindset and integrating ethnicity with nationalism through the medium of literature.

Inaugurating the fifth annual function of the Nepali Language and Culture Council on the occasion of the 280th birth anniversary of King Prithvi Narayan Shah the Great, he said that language, literature, culture and religion prevent a person from becoming cruel and remind him of his duty.

Minister of State Chaudhari noted that just as King Prithvi Narayan Shah the Great unified Nepal, Nepali language and culture has been unifying various nationalities and indigenous peoples.

Senior litterateur Dev Kumari Thapa, Biratnagar Mayor Ramesh Chandra Paudel, former National Assembly Vice-Chairman Chiranjivi Rijal, Royal Nepal Academy member Dadhi Ram Suvedi and a host of other speakers also expressed their views at the function chaired by council president Bhanu Bhakta Pokharel.
