PATHALAIYA, Jan 28: Nepali Congress (NC) General Secretary Prakash Man Singh on Saturday said Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai has lost the moral ground to stay in the government.



Taking a sarcastic jab at PM Bhattarai at a program in Bara, Singh said, “Our intellectual prime minister has legalized the decision carried out by the so-called ´people´s government´. This government has abused its authority and, therefore, it doesn´t have the moral right to continue.” [break]



He argued that the move of the government to legalize the decisions taken by the ´people´s government´ of insurgency period was illegal and unconstitutional.



A recent cabinet meeting had decided to legalize land transactions such as land purchase, property sharing and other agreements that took place under the arbitration of the then Maoist “people´s government”.



General Secretary Singh expressed sadness that the intra-party dispute of UCPN (Maoist) has pushed the tasks of promulgating the new constitution and concluding the peace process to the back burner.
