Kathmandu, July 25
Nepal Communist Party’s leader Subas Chandra Nembang, who is engaged in recent discussions on demands raised by medical education reform activist Dr Govinda KC, says the government and Dr KC are ‘close to agreement’.
Nembang, who accompanied Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli during a meeting with educationist Kedar Bhakta Mathema and Nepal Medical Council Chairman Dharma Kanta Banskota today, says the Prime Minister told them that his and Dr KC’s views about the sector are similar. Oli was only concerned about the politics being practised in Dr KC’s name, according to Nembang.
Though Nembang claims the two sides are close to an agreement, he does not divulge what points they have agreed on.
He, however, hints that the government will accept suggestions of Dr KC on the Medical Education Bill without withdrawing the Bill registered in Parliament.
“The progress is positive on many issues and we cannot move back. There is almost an agreement between us,” he says, “There might be some attempts to foil the agreement. But the Prime Minister is positive about resolving this.”
