DPM Mahato reiterates Nepal is multi-nation state

KATHMANDU, June 5: Despite being dragged into controversy after a statement made shortly after assuming the office on Friday evening, the Deputy Prime Minister and a leader of the Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) reiterated that Nepal should be established as the multi-nation state as it is full of diversity.

“Nepal should not remain as a single-nation state, however, it should be operated as a multi-nation state,” said Mahato, addressing a program in Nepal’s capital on Saturday afternoon.
