Kathmandu, June 22. The Naya Party Nepal has urged the government to include residents of Lipulek, Kalapani, and Limpiyadhura in the upcoming census.

The Party has also appealed to the government to make an appropriate environment for voting and state rights to the people living in the 335 square kilometres of area, that was encroached by India.

In May last year, the government of Nepal claimed the encroached land and issued a new political map of Nepal.

The Naya Party Nepal has also drawn the attention of the government towards rescue, relief, relocation, and rehabilitation operation of the survivors of the monsoon-induced disasters. 

Senior vice-chairperson of the party Yubaraj Safal, issuing a press statement here today, appealed to the government to ensure vaccination for all the eligible Nepalis and introduce financial stimulus packages to the business persons and entrepreneurs adversely affected by COVID-19. 

Furthermore, the Party has also demanded with the government to consider an amendment in the Constitution of Nepal that would bar any Nepali citizens obtaining Nepali citizenship identity card through the naturalization process from being involved in political activities in Nepal. 

Demands also include prohibiting such citizens from being elected to important public offices such as people’s representatives, ministers, Vice-President, Prime Minister, and President.
