The PM's remarks were aimed at the government's investigation into corruption, Bhutanese refugee scam, Lalita Niwas land grab case and the recent seizure of a large quantity of gold at Tribhuvan International Airport.

He said the government must win the current war against corrupt practices and misrule in order to strengthen national unity, ensure social justice and prepare the foundation of socialism.

The PM said that the government's war against misrule and corrupt practices was neither a result of any impulsive action nor was it a political stunt.

This battle is aimed at realising the dream of all Nepalis, particularly those countless people who sacrificed their lives during the Maoist insurgency and other movements, the PM added.

Addressing a programme organised by the student wing of the Socialist Front here today, the PM said that the government would launch investigation into more cases of corruption and misrule and people's support would be crucial for the government to win those battles. This drive is in public interest and without the support of the public, the government or the prime minister cannot win this battle, the PM said.

The PM said that attempts were being made to create a rift within the ruling parties as well as in the Socialist Front after the government launched investigation into corruption cases. 'But we the leaders of the party are determined to defeat all kinds of conspiracies and move ahead unitedly,' the PM added.

On a different note, the PM said that the goal of socialism as envisioned by the constitution, could not be achieved unless reforms were initiated from all sectors and most importantly from the education sector.

The PM said that the government would soon bring federal education bill and fill all the posts that lay vacant in the education sector, including TU Service Commission.
