Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba has said the pacts signed by KP Sharma Oli government will be implemented.

Addressing the Legislature-Parliament meeting summoned to hold deliberations on the no-confidence motion tabled against the Oli-led govt on Sunday, Deuba said Nepal should maintain balanced relations with both its neighbours.

Unlike CPN (Maoist Center) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Deuba didn’t hit out at PM Oli but said he had some reservations with the government.

He said a citizen should not question the patriotism of another citizen. “No one has the right to call oneself patriotic and other not. Patriotism is connected to national security,” he said.

He remarked that change of guard was a beauty of a peaceful and democratic country like Nepal.
