Parsa, August 12

CPN-UML leader Madhav Kumar Nepal has said that the neighbouring countries must refrain from interfering in Nepal’s internal affairs.

At a programme organised by the Democratic Madhesi Association affiliated to the CPN-UML in Parsa today, Nepal said it would be shameful if any political leader or party sought foreign support in solving national problems. He argued that this would erode public trust in political leaders.

“The problems in the country must be resolved by political leaders within the country.” He urged people to not to believe that UML was against Madhesis.

UML politburo member and Chairman of the Democratic Madhesi Association Raghubir Mahaseth said the constitution should be amended to address the demands of the Madhesi people.

At a different programme, Nepal launched a book ‘Nursing Research and Biostatistics’ penned jointly by Professor Dr Shambhu Prasad Patel and Babita Singh.
