'We can't have Bangladesh-like situation in our country', says Nepali PM
Nepali Prime Minister KP Oli on Saturday said that a Bangladesh- or Sri Lanka-like situation can't happen in the country. There is no place for any kind of political violence or anarchy here. Oli stressed that Nepal is not a copy machine of a country.
Oli said there is no place for extremism, which has been rampant for decades, in the country. The government will not allow such activities in the country. KP Oli had arrived in Kathmandu to launch a book titled 'Into the Fire'. The book was written by Simlik Airlines Chairman Captain Rameshwar Thapa.
Former Nepali Prime Minister Pushpakamal Dahal Prachanda had said last month that there was a need to learn from Bangladesh. He had urged the KP Oli coalition government to learn lessons from the political unrest and unrest in Bangladesh.
In response to Prachanda's remarks, Oli said on Saturday, "To those who advise us to learn from others, I would like to say that they should also learn from others." The civilisation and culture here is different. Hence, incidents like those in Bangladesh cannot be repeated in Nepal.
Recently, two youths raised slogans against Prime Minister Oli and Nepali Congress Speaker Sher Bahadur Deuba at an open theatre in Kathmandu. After the incident, police arrested both the teenagers and they were released two days later.
Sheikh Hasina had to leave Bangladesh after violent incidents.
Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was forced to leave the country on August 5 due to violence. Violent protests against reservation have been ongoing in Bangladesh since June 5. After two months of violence, Sheikh Hasina resigned as prime minister and arrived in India on August 5.
After Hasina resigned, a caretaker government led by Nobel laureate Mohammad Yunus was installed in Bangladesh. The caretaker government said about 1,000 people were killed in anti-Hasina protests.
