CA Polls Essential to Establish Dalit Rights: Nembang

Kathmandu, March 22

Speaker of the legislative parliament Subas Nembang on Wednesday said the constituent assembly election was essential to establish the rights of Dalits, indigenous nationalities and women.

While addressing an interaction organised by Dalit NGO Federation Nepal on Wednesday to mark the 42nd International Day against Racial Discrimination, Nembang warned that a conspiracy is being hatched not to let the CA polls happen.

Spokesperson of the CPN Maoist Krishna Bahadur Mahara said ‘autocratic unitary state mechanism led by the monarchy’ was the major cause of the sufferings that Dalits have been facing for long and, therefore, everyone should first be involved in the campaign to root out monarchy.
“The ethnic problems of the nation should be solved in a political way through federal democratic republic,” he said, adding that all the political parties should rise above the status quo as soon as possible.

State minister for Science and Technology Man Bahadur Biswokarma claimed all the commitments made by the leaders of the political parties present at the function was nothing but “crocodile’s tears”.
