Press for peace talks: Ranabhat

Pokhara, May 11 (RSS): Speaker Taranath Ranabhat has said that because of violence, terror and murder unleashed by the Maoists, the country was passing through a serious and difficult situation.

Speaker Ranabhat was inaugurating the blood donation, eye check-up and health camp organised by the Lions Club of Kathmandu at ward No. 2 Lekhanath Chowk of Lekhanath municipality.

On the one hand, the social workers of the country are working selflessly for the development of the society by organising health camp, while on the other hand, the Maoist terrorists living in the jungles had been killing their own brothers and sisters, creating terror and destroying the infrastructure of development, he added.

Stating that the Maoists were misleading the people by holding talks sometimes and involving in war at the same time, he said that the intellectuals and the civic society should exert pressure to bring them to the peace talks.

Ranabhat also expressed gratitude to the Lions Club for organising the extensive health camp at Lekhanath municipality and providing medical facilities to the under privileged and the helpless people.

At the same function, Speaker Ranabhat honoured the doctors, social workers, Madhav Sharma of daily "Pokhara Hotline" and Purna Rai of "Rajdhani."

Mayor Shaligram Poudel and a host of other speakers expressed their views at the programme chaired by chairman of the Lions Club of Kathmandu Nirmal Gurung.

Eighteen doctors are rendering free services to the patients suffering from eye, nose, throat, heart and skin diseases and free drugs were also provided to them.
