Kathmandu : Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said government was committed to protecting democracy because the democracy was brought through struggles for human rights, peace and social justice.     

Inaugurating the international conference of the Progressive Legal Practitioners here Friday, PM Oli reminded that present leadership had played a significant role in bringing democracy and protecting human rights. So, there is no point in questioning its role, he added.     

“We’ve been working as per UN Charter, UDHR, international human rights instruments, and balanced foreign policy,” PM Oli said, adding that Nepal has enmity with none but amity with all.     

According to him, Nepal government is for peace and democracy. “We are devoted to resolving the problems facing people in daily life.
