Prime Minister Sushila Karki has asserted that the government has mobilized its full strength in an effort to conduct the March 5 elections to the House of Representatives in a free, fair, impartial and peaceful environment. 

She emphasized that these efforts are aimed to open a door to a new era of sustainable democratic stability in the country.

PM Karki delivered the statement while addressing a special ceremony organized today at the Army Pavilion in Tundikhel, Kathmandu marking the National Democracy Day-208 BS.

During her address, the Head of the Government expressed her confidence that the Parliament and government to be formed after this election will further advance the democratic system making it more dynamic, result-oriented and accountable to the people.

PM Karki argued that a strong democracy does not suppress discontent; rather, it embraces as an opportunity to reform. 

"Democracy should not be viewed merely as a technical change in the form of governance. In fact, it is a way of life which must be reflected in everything from expressions on the internet to the price of vegetables cooked in the kitchen," observed the PM.

The Septuagenarian leader articulated that democracy is not just about procedures; it must deliver results. 

While emphasizing that the rule of law is essential, she mentioned that keeping citizens entangled in the name of 'endless' processes and subjecting them to delays, harassment and distress in the name of procedure does not constitute the practice of democracy.

 "It is rather mis-governance," she underlined.
