The black marketing of the essential commodities is learnt to have been growing in various parts of the country, including the capital city, following the economic embargo imposed by India on Nepal for nearly two months.
Speaking at program organized by UCPN (Maoist) Kirtipur Town Committee on the occasion of Nepal Sambat here on Saturday, UCPN (Maoist) Chairperson Dahal reiterated, “We cannot put up with corruption and black marketing. We will not spare anyone in this regard. The ministers failing to curb such untoward activities will be removed from their position.”
“No one can and should be a mute spectator to the misery of public,” Chairman Dahal said, expressing sorrow over the hardship faced by the public in face of widespread fuel shortage.
Given the scenario when the import of fuel and other essential goods to the country is slashed significantly post the trade embargo, Dahal urged the government to exercise proportional, reliable and just system for the distribution of fuel.
Stating that Nepal and Nepali had to bear the brunt of border blockade upon the promulgation of a new constitution, he opined that the patience of public and national dignity should be kept intact.
Moreover, the UCPN (Maoist) Chairman reminded that his party had tabled 27-point resolution proposal which was also approved by former government for the relief and rehabilitation of those affected by the April 25 earthquake.
