KATHMANDU, March 19: A lawmaker of the ruling Nepali Congress (NC) Bimalendra Nidhi has stated that political parties are ready to take any necessary steps to protect the federal democratic republic.
Speaking in the House of Representatives (HoR) meeting on Wednesday, Nidhi said that the Nepali people have endured various forms of monarchy since Prithvi Narayan Shah and the kings ruled the country by seizing the rights of the Nepali people.
Nidhi said that the establishment of the republic was due to the various negative consequences of the monarchy. He claimed that the federal republic is the most advanced political system in the world. People do not want any form of monarchy and monarchy will not be reinstated. We are ready to do whatever it takes for this, he added.
“The system we have brought was not given as a donation; we have introduced the system of federalism and republic in Nepal to enable the sovereign people to exercise their rights,” he said.
Lawmaker Nidhi also emphasized the need to amend the constitution to empower the provinces. He stated that federal laws must be enacted immediately to implement federalism effectively.
