Talking to Nepalnews on Thursday, former premier Thapa said that major parties "cannot decide the federal structure without discussing it with other parties represented in the Constituent Assembly (CA) and other concerned groups".
"Only the CA only can decide the federal structure", he added, warning that federal structure determined without studying the geographical, economic and cultural aspect could even lead to disintegration of the country.
Blaming the major three parties for creating political uncertainly, Thapa emphasised that they must respect the verdict of the people.
According to him, power-sharing is not a difficult task provided the three parties become ready to move ahead according to the mandate of the people.
"But the major parties are not going to the right," he added. nepalnews.com kp July 10 08
