Thapa Warns PM Oli Against Provocative Remarks

Nepali Congress General Secretary Gagan Kumar Thapa has warned Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to avoid making provocative statements.

Thapa gave this warning in response to comments recently made by Prime Minister Oli.

Speaking briefly to the media after a meeting of Nepali Congress office bearers on Monday, Thapa addressed the Prime Minister’s controversial instructions.

“It is wrong to provoke people, and we can’t imagine a Prime Minister saying such things,” Thapa said. “What was said in public should not be repeated.”

Prime Minister Oli had spoken at a training program for ward chairpersons organized by the CPN (UML) Bagmati Province Committee on Sunday. There, he reportedly told participants to bring Kathmandu “under UML’s control” on May 29.
