KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress President Girija Prasad Koirala has today warned all concerned to refrain from embarking on politics that whips up casteist sentiments in the country.
Koirala has come up with the warning at a time when the UCPN-Maoist and tarai centric parties are involved in a stampede to whip up casteist and regionalist sentiments by espousing various communal causes leading to shut down.
"We must now be beware of the politics that whips up casteist and regionalist sentiments. We must refrain from doing that," Koirala, who earlier took part in the function held to observe the 27 B P Memorial Day in the capital said while addressing another function organized by Nepal Trade Union Congress (NTUC) in the capital.
He also shed light on the politics of value propagated by B P Koirala and said that "the nation is in greater need of the values promoted by B P and which include reconciliation and socialism."
