Bhaktapur, Nov 7: Minister for Industry Mahesh Basnet blamed the 22-party alliance for inviting conflict and anarchy in the country.
He accused the alliance with a reference to the parties’ stance on the ethnicity-based federalism.
Speaking in the second general assembly of Bhaktapur Party Palace and Catering Association in Bhaktapur today, Minister Basnet opined that the CPN (Maoist) Chairman-led alliance was hindering the constitution making process.
At the programme, he also warned of an imminent possibility of civil war like in Somalia if the country is forcefully administered into federal system based on caste and ethnicity.
He was of the opinion that the concept of seven federal states, proposed by Nepali Congress and CPN (UML) in unison, would further consolidate peace, prosperity and national integrity.
Minister Basnet, asserting himself as pro-entrepreneur, expressed his concern over inconvenience caused by the government in the name of the Social Reform Bill
Similarly, echoing Basnet, Prithivi Bhakta Prajapati, the Chairman of the Association, said that the government, in the name of the Social Reform Bill should not create any problem to the business ventures as catering that has been providing employment to thousands of youth and also contributing to state revenue.
