CHITWAN, FEBRUARY 12
Spokesperson of the Nepali Congress Prakash Sharan Mahat has said that all assistance providing countries should be looked from the same point of view.
Talking to mediapersons here today, Spokesperson Mahat noted that the Millennium Challenge Corporation should be taken fairly as we did for the projects of other countries.
He said that tit would be unfair judgment in foreign relations if we saw cooperation of other countries and MCC through different lenses.
Mahat said, "Accepting aid on the basis of unfair criteria for each country leads to imbalance in foreign relations, which may also cause a threat to the country."
He argued that the MCC should be endorsed from the Parliament without any confusion and delay, adding "There is consensus on MCC among political parties representing the Parliament. It has come on the basis of Nepal's interest. It is a wrong tendency to create problem."
The NC spokesperson mentioned that it was the responsibility of the speaker to table the proposal introduced by the government.
He further said the MCC issue would get an outlet if discussion was held in the Parliament.
On a different note, he stated that Nepali Congress (NC)'s district convention in remaining 16 districts would be held on February 24.
Responding to a query, Mahat said it was not right time to discuss political coalition at the local-level election. He further said, "Discussion will be held regarding political coalition when the time comes."
