Home Minister Om Prakash Aryal has asserted that ministers in the incumbent government do not have liberty to favor any political party.

Addressing the Bagmati province-level security workshop jointly organized by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Law of Bagmati Province, Minister Aryal noted that the present government’s ‘mandate’ is to hold elections on the stipulated date.

He urged all concerned parties not to harbour any doubt on holding the elections on the stated date.

Highlighting that the Gen Z movement was waged for establishing good governance, Minister Aryal said that the government is committed to maintaining good governance.

He warned that failing to hold elections on the designated date could lead the country to a crisis and requested all parties to encourage and boost up the government’s morale regarding its works, including for elections.

During the event, Chief Minister of Bagmati Province Indra Bahadur Baniya cautioned that the activities of ministers in the government could potentially disrupt the election environment.

Colombia's President Gustavo Petro has said that he believes there is now a "real threat" of US military action against Colombia, BBC reported. 

Petro said the United States is treating other nations as part of a US "empire". It comes after Trump threatened Colombia with military action. He said that the US risks transforming from "dominating the world" to becoming "isolated from the world." 

He also accused US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents of acting like "Nazi brigades". Trump has significantly expanded ICE operations as part of what the administration says is a crackdown on crime and immigrants who illegally entered the US, according to BBC.
