Land of Lalita Niwas won't be captured if Chand captures it: Minister Baskota

Setopati

Kathmandu, Jan 16

Government Spokesperson Gokul Prasad Baskota has stated that the Netra Bikram Chand-led CPN cannot capture the government land of Lalita Niwas.

"The land will not be captured when Chand group captures it," Minister Baskota said addressing the weekly press conference on Thursday. "The government itself is investigating the case. That land belongs to the Nepali people and government."

He added that the land cannot be given to individuals no matter who may currently be using the land. He claimed that Chand has done that only for publicity. He also stressed that act of vandalizing public property, and setting telecom towers on fire are terrorist activities.

"That is terrorism. Nothing will happen by hoisting flag. Capturing land of Lalita Niwas would have been a brave deed had the government tried to protect the encroachers. Such activities have not been prioritized by the media," he grumbled.
