Conflict victims call for govt's attention on transitional just...
Sitaula hinted at the possibility of a breakout of another conflict in the country if the government was not serious towards addressing their issues as it’s been 12 years since the Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA) was signed in November 2006.
He further blamed that the incumbent government had made the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Commission for Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons formed in line with the CPA a lame duck.
The former Minister for Home Affairs viewed that if there were any obstructions concerning the function of these Commissions, new laws should have been formed in the parliament and activated them. He said that a question was raised on the intentions of the government for despite being a government with a two-thirds majority it could not serve justice to the conflict victims.
Sitaula confided that his party, now in the role of the major opposition, was weak in ushering the government in the right track.
On a different note, he responded to the query of journalists and said that NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba was trying to influence the party by his majority. RSS
