‘Victims’ issues not addressed in TRC bill’

Kathmandu, 17 April:  Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) chairperson Rajendra Lingden said the bill framed to amend the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Act BS was not in favour of victims.

Talking to journalists in Fungling Taplejung district he said the bill has only addressed the issues of key sides of the conflict. The bill is an attempt to free the rebel side only, he said, it has relegated the conflict survivors to the back-burner.

Responding to a query  Lingden ruled out the need of three tiers of the governments in the name of federalism. If the local level is empowered and province scrapped, it would reduce financial burden and also bail the country out of economic crisis, he asserted.
