KATHMANDU: During a House of Representatives (HoR) meeting, CPN-UML leader Yogesh Kumar Bhattarai warned Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal not to exacerbate caste-based conflicts. Bhattarai highlighted that any attempts by the Prime Minister to use problems of caste, language, religion, and culture for personal or political advantage will only impede the country's advancement rather than benefit it.
He questioned the Prime Minister's sudden focus on these sensitive issues, pointing out the historical support received from various communities, such as the Magars from Rolpa and Dalit youths, who had been instrumental in past conflicts. Bhattarai cautioned against using these identities and concerns as tools to advance personal agendas, urging instead a commitment to national unity and advancement through constructive constitutional reforms.
