Kathmandu – Former President Bidya Devi Bhandari has expressed doubt that the victims of the armed conflict will get justice as those who pushed the country into violence are leading the power.

Speaking at the unveling ceremony of the book, ‘Nepal Human Rights 2024’ organized by the Informal Sector Service Center (INSEC) in Kathmandu on Monday, she said, “It is important to focus on completing the rest of the peace process as soon as possible, keeping the victims at the center.” But, what is ironic is that the people who led the country to the violence once, is now ruling the country, which undoubtly raise a serious question on serving justice to the country and the innocent victims.

Noting that even after 18 years of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, the victims have not been able to get justice, she clarified that the sensitive issue of transitional justice should not be used by anyone as a means to achieve their own interests.
