Kathmandu, May 5: Prime Minister Balendra Shah has made it clear that abolition of trade unions and party flags was aimed at making bureaucracy and academia clean, free and professional.<\/p>\n

“Banning party flags in schools and bureaucracy will not seize rights of students and employees, but strengthens professional freedoms,” he said in a social media post today. PM Shah argued party politics in university and bureaucracy, deep rooted in the country for long, has ruined education and administration. So, ouster of party flags strengthens rights and professional freedoms.<\/p>\n

“Many journalists, leaders, activists, businessmen and the general public have been arguing for years that party-o-cracy ruined university study and bureaucracy. Such organizations have become ‘sleeper cells’ of political parties with brazen adversity to students and employees. Undue access over qualification and sycophancy over competence causes utter public distrust in the system itself, PM Shah explained.<\/p>\n

It is not because Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) is unable to form organizations in academia and bureaucracy from where it is wiping out ill politics, but it is entirely for quality enhancement in university and dignity of employees. “If RSP wants, it can easily form its organization in no time, but adding another organization does not bring reform as the past suggests,” PM Shah, also the senior leader of RSP, reminded.<\/p>\n

According to him, the basis for transfers and promotions of civil employees should not be guided by party affiliation but on procedure, competence and delivery. “Our effort is entirely for creating opportunity for students to learn from teachers than from politics, and not from mob of political leaders,” he said, wishing employees not to run after leaders’ protection but rule.<\/p>\n

He further reminded that students could learn politics but together with culture, thoughts and responsibility. The PM reminded the employees to be servants of citizens not of parties.<\/p>\n

PM Shah, however, said the move of this government was not a fight against any party but an attempt to protect the system. It is an attempt for secure future where the country would not be under party control but on the path of institutional reform. \u201cThis is a move to free the education system and bureaucracy from party’s undue influence. We brought ordinances to remove such ills as per your wish.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PM also sought everyone’s support and trust to such bid. \u201cWe need your support and trust, for the change is not ensured with mere speeches but through decisions. We are in the government to deliver as per your wishes. Be sure, whatever we do, we do in favour of the Nepali people,\u201d PM Shah added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
