Nepali PM Calls Women
to Participate Polls Actively
Nepali Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala has appealed
to all women sisters to make the April 10 Constituent Assembly (CA)
elections successful, local newspaper The Rising Nepal reported on
Saturday.
Prime Minister Koirala said women should cooperate and participate
actively, as it was a historical opportunity associated with the
prosperous present and future of the country.
In a message released on Friday on the occasion of the 98th
International Women's Day, Prime Minister Koirala has said that the
government had given special attention towards ensuring maximum
participation of women at every level of the society and their highest
contribution to nation building.
"The women community should take this effort of the Government as a
positive achievement and give due attention towards increasing
collaboration and cordiality in the country," Nepali Prime Minister
said.
Stating that the uplift and development of any country relies on the
active cooperation, participation and creativeness of the women
community, the Prime Minister has said only a liberal democratic system
could promote and protect the rights and well- being of the women, the
underprivileged and indigenous nationalities.
On the occasion, Prime Minister Koirala has also wished "all
sisters peace, continued progress and prosperity".
The Constituent Assembly to be formed through April 10 CA elections is
to decide Nepal's future political set-up and the fate of the monarchy.
