Rastriya Swatantra Party Whip Parivar Highlights Disappointing Dalit Representation in State Power

Kathmandu. Ruling party Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Federal Parliamentary Party Whip Prakash Chandra Pariyar has said that the representation of the Dalit community in the state's permanent power and bureaucracy is still disappointing. Addressing a program on 'Current Status of Inclusivity and Future Direction' organized by the National Dalit Employees Society Nepal in the capital on Saturday, Whip Pariyar said so.

Citing statistics, he said, 'If the issue of reservation is 'muted' or reduced, the participation of our community in the permanent power and bureaucracy will not even reach one and a quarter percent. This is a very ironic picture at the policy-making level.' He commented that while the current system has moved the country forward by 100 years, it has pushed the Dalit community back by 500 years.
