23 July, Kathmandu:
CPN (UML) leader, Madhav Kumar Nepal, today stressed on need to maintain national consensus in a new manner while taking a stride forward.
Speaking at the discussion on the no-confidence motion against the PM at the Legislature-Parliament, Nepal said, “The country is about to drown, there are no people who can save the country, political parties have turned into factions, we are conspiring and plotting, everyone should stop leveling accusations by being motivated by prejudice.”
The UML leader spoke of the necessity for all to work in upgrading the nation’s image in the international sector and Nepal’s dignity. He added that a political decision should be the driving force behind protecting and implementing the constitution.
He said the main opposition nod to the no-confidence motion brought by CPN (Maoist Centre) was full of defects.
CPN (Maoist) Center’s Haribol Gajurel accused the Prime Minister of ignoring the party voices. Though the party expressed its concerns in writing regarding the enforcement of constitution, Madhes agitation, social justice, peace process and the post- earthquake reconstruction, the Prime Minister did not feel it necessary to address them, he said.
Party decided to quit the government as it realised that a logical conclusion of the peace process and addressing people’s sentiments were not possible through the KP Sharma Oli-led government.
Rastriya Prajatantra Party Nepal’s Sushil Shrestha gave his views in favour of the KP Sharma Oli- led government. The country was still suffering the impact of blockade and the incumbent government which took the leadership when the country was in a difficult situation should get continuity, he said.
He also argued that the constitution does not have a provision of the formation of a new government after the removal of the incumbent government. RSS
