Banepa, Nov 12: Chief Election Commissioner Dr Ayodhee Prasad Yadav has urged
the voters not to be swayed after feasts and temptation in terms of exercising
their rights to vote.
During an interaction
with the differently-able people (those suffering hearing impairment) at
Dhulikhel on Sunday, CEC Dr Yadav said fear, threat and pressure could not be
accepted during election.
He assured that
efforts would be made to ensure differently able people the chance of election
observation.
"It is the
responsibility of political parties to ensure reservation to the differently
able people in the election system," the CEC said, adding that this
national election would strengthen democracy, republic and federalism.
According to him,
the election would also pave way for future peace and prosperity.
The interaction
was attended by 70 people suffering hearing impairment from 52 districts.
Chairperson of
the Rastriya Bahaira Mahasangh, KP Adhikari, complained that the people
suffering the hearing impairment were ignored in country's policy. He demanded
the State that they be provided opportunity to become election observers.
