PM Oli expressed happiness over the young generation’s enthusiasm and excellence in information technology. He said, ‘ This is the era of computer and AI technology. Women have done much.

Opposition raising nonissue in parliament Speaking on the recent political development, PM Oli blamed the opposition parties for obstructing parliament over an unnecessary issue.
