Hetaunda, June 22
The main opposition Nepali Congress has accused the incumbent Nepal Communist Party Chairman KP Sharma Oli-led government of heading towards totalitarianism.
The party concluded its four-day district presidents’ gathering in Hetaunda of Makawanpur district on Friday morning and issued a 19-point declaration, which criticises multiple activities of the current government.
The declaration states that the communist government has interfered in media in a bid to prohibit and control them, tried to influence judicial processing and created a terror among civil servants and academicians. Likewise, the government tried to control non-government organisations, clearly indicating that it is going against democratic norms and values, according to the party.
Meanwhile, the party has also decided to stand firm for protection and promotion of democratic values including republicanism, federalism, independent judiciary and free press.
Regarding the internal organisation of party, the gathering has recommended the Central Working Committee to amend the party charter through a mahasamiti meeting so as to adopt the new federal structure and prepare a procedure to form local and provincial structures.
