Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has asserted that no one has the power to usurp the rights achieved through the struggles of Nepali people.

Addressing the National Volunteers Gathering organized by the National Youth Federation Nepal here today, PM and CPN-UML Chair Oli said that if the people have not assessed the strength with the Youth Federation, it should demonstrate its capability for the country and the people even by taking on the regressive forces if need be. 

"No one has the power to take away the rights we fought for. The youths can tell this better. If anyone tries to trouble the country, the Youth Federation will pounce like a tiger," he said, adding that this activity of volunteerism is a good beginning. The PM urged the Federation to mobilize this power in an organized and dignified manner like the previous Youth Force.

"Let it be an unarmed permanent team; if any regressive force comes to fight head on or if the anti-development force obstructs our work, then let us strongly resist that,” he exhorted the youth volunteers on the occasion.

Prime Minister Oli said that some people are making a hue and cry when the government removed an employee and clarified that the Prime Minister need not give an explanation about it. 

"The Prime Minister has already replied. An employee was removed and another was appointed in his place. It's over. This is the reply. It is not our job to appoint whoever they want and who is of service to them," the PM said.

Prime Minister Oli expressed concern over the opposition parties obstructing the House to stop the passage of the bill to replace the ordinances by March 31.

UML General Secretary Shankar Pokhrel, Chief of People's Organization Coordination Mechanism Bhanubhakta Dhakal, Politburo member Mahesh Basnet, Federation Chair Kshitij Thebe, among others, expressed their views on the need for the National Volunteer Campaign.
