Kathmandu, May 23: Minister for Communications and Information Technology, Rekha Sharma, has said none is above constitution in republic system.
Minister Sharma said while inaugurating a photo exhibition the Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS) organized on the occasion of the Republic Day-2081 on Thursday. The exhibition organized in the premises of RSS central office, Bhadrakali, is focused on ‘achievement of republic: base of prosperity’.
Irrespective of the people holding post and power, law and constitution are equally applicable, so government is enforcing the law accordingly, Minister Sharma reminded.
“When Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ was appointed, there was a negative narrative that republic failed to deliver. But, the government has been able to dispel the negative narrative by working untiringly for social justice, prosperity and good governance,” Sharma, who is also the spokesperson of the government, argued.
She went on to say that government had been successful to make quality achievement in information and technology (IT) sector.
According to her, country was making a stride in infrastructures and development. Sharma informed that anyone found faulty on governance practice will be responsible individually rather than the republic system. The Minister, however, said government would receive positively the feedback from people.
With the establishment of federal republic, Nepal made a significant progress on infrastructures, education, health and IT. She pointed out the need for disseminating news that create positive impact.
The Minister appreciated the RSS photo exhibition on the occasion of the Republic Day.
On the occasion, Officiating Secretary at Ministry, Gajendra Thakur, said the RSS photos were best medium to publicize the achievements of republic.
RSS Executive Chairman Dharmendra Jha informed that the photo exhibition was organized to make broader publicity of the achievements the country made on infrastructures and development following the adoption of federal republic. The display series begun since last year will be continued next years too, he added.
There are 95 photos put on display showing development works conducted in the places ranging from Marma of Darchula to Dharpu of Panchthar, Jha informed.
Similarly, RSS General Manager Siddharaj Rai said the display would finely depict the developments the country made after the establishment of republic. These pictures are testament that foil the ‘nothing happened’ narrative. RSS has been disseminating factual news, he reminded.
Joint Secretary at Ministry, Baburam Bhandari; RSS Board Members Dilliram Bhattarai and Krishna Adhikari; media educationist Prof Chiranjivi Khanal, General Manager at Gorkhapatra Corporation, Lal Bahadur Aidi; RSS deputy general managers, department chiefs, representatives of employees’ union/associations and media persons attended the function. #rss
