The Home Minister mentioned that the borders of our country have been protected as indigenous nationalities have been working day and night for it. “Many indigenous communities --Sherpa, Rai, Limbu, Tamang, Magar, Gurung, living in high mountainous areas and others—Tharu, Kumal, Yadav, Pashi, Dhobi, among others living in Tarai have fought for border security. Nationality has been safeguarded. So we all Nepalis should respect each other“


It is the responsibility of the state to protect and promote the endangered nationalities associated with the Federation, said Minister Khand, adding the government was committed to acting upon the reports of various ethnic commissions.
