Kathmandu, Dec 16 : Kush Kumar Joshi president of the Federation of the Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI) has said that the political interference has been a major stumbling block to industrial growth in Nepal.

Addressing a function here on Monday, Joshi said that political parties have not been sensitive towards the problems facing the business sector.

"Parties remain as indifferent towards promoting the private sector as in the past. Industries have not been able to operate smoothly, mainly due to political interference," he added.
