Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal- Prachanda has pledged to strongly present the issues concerning Dalits in the United Nations (UN).

During his meeting today with dalit parliamentarians from the South Asia, the Prime Minister vowed to raise the dalit issues in the UN in an effective way.

"The dalit community has been sidelined from the economic, social and cultural mainstream of the nation since long and were also subjected to caste-based discriminations and practices of untouchability," he said, adding that he would seriously raise such issues in the UN.
