Elected PM cannot speak against parliamentary democracy: GP Koirala
Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala has criticised the statement by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal that Maoists would not accept parliamentary form of democracy in Nepal.
Inaugurating a seminar on Thursday in Kathmandu organised by Nepal Democratic Lawyers Association, Koirala said Dahal cannot by ethics speak against parliamentary democracy since he was elected through popular votes.
He sought assistance from lawyers in strengthening the democratic institutions in the country and chalking out sketches for the kind of federalism that Nepal should adopt.
Koirala stressed on the need to divide the nation into states based on geography with Nepali peculiarities but said his party needs suggestions and recommendations from law experts on the subject.
The former PM underlined the importance of unity among the political actors in the country for continued assistance and support from the international community and writing a new constitution for Nepal within the time frame.
The seminar will debate on various aspects of federalism for Nepal. nepalnews.com ia Nov 27 08
