The incident of alleged involvement of officials of the anti-graft body in bargaining for money to influence any case has come out in the past.

Stating that massive disappointment and frustration prevailed among the public towards the current governance system, government, responsible leaders and policymakers, the former deputy prime minister viewed that the government, political leaders and parliamentarians should act responsibly to restore public trust.The octogenarian leader analysed that the public was keeping an eye on the public prosecutor's course of action in many cases and the fact that not lodging case against those involved in heinous crimes and major wrongdoings and withdrawing case against those accused in such cases had raised a question about the existence of rule of law in the country.According to him, some of our wrong practices has spread the sentiments of despair and hopelessness among people.

"Our country is blessedwith a myriad of cultures, customs, heritages, geographical diversity and bounty of natural resources," he said.Leader KC opined that the tendency to teach English to the children and encourage them to follow western style of fashion and food culture had weakened nationalism.

Expressing his concern about the increasing hopelessness among the youths and students in the country and growing brain drain, he said youths were being brainwashed into seeking greener pasture abroad by the education consultancies to promote their business, adding, "This tendency is leading Nepali society into degradation."Leader KC, however, suggested the Nepali youths to opt for foreign study or employment after preparing meticulously in terms of language, laws and cultures of the host country and equipping oneself with necessary skills.He expressed his concern over the failure of the educational institutions to provide the kind of education that instils the sense of patriotism among the students.On a different note, KC expressed dismay over the situation of having to import everything to the country from principles and values to essential commodities.Similarly, he argued that all national industries and factories in the country were at risk due to liberalisation.
