PM Oli calls for keeping NRNA intact, dignified and goal-oriented

Kathmandu: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has urged the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) to be united, dignified and purpose-driven.

Inaugurating the ‘NRNA Global Conclave’ organised by the NRNA on Wednesday, PM Oli said it is inappropriate to see trends that do not align with the objectives of the organization and urged it to abandon narrow-mindedness and strive for a higher level of unity.

‘It is not good to have disputes in this kind of collective organization that needs to work together in unity. An organization cannot function by altering the rules for individual purposes. Let reason and logic prevail in this. The organization should not develop into a place to do anything for personal interest,’ said Prime Minister Oli.

PM Oli said that the organization should not be deviated from the sacred purpose of the rights and interests of the Nepali diaspora, mutual acquaintance, the continuity of Nepali culture and traditions, and what contributions can be made for the country.

He further added that there should be no party politics in this and attempts to divide the organization will not be successful. ‘The Nepal government will support it in legitimate matters,’ said PM Oli.

PM Oli on the occasion expressed his dismay for what he called the indecent and indecorous activities that occurred during the NRN convention, stating that this did not send a good message to society. He urged the non-resident Nepali community to move forward by embracing democratic values with due process.

He expressed the confidence that since the current term of NRNA president Dr Badri KC is still valid, this would allow for a democratic and legal transition of leadership through a general assembly. He also committed that the government would carry out work based on the suggestions received for the amendments needed in the laws related to non-resident Nepalis.
