Expressing qualms over the delay in promulgation of the new constitution and conclusion of the peace process, President Yadav said the head of state, the UCPN (Maoist), Nepali Congress, CPN-UML and Madhesi Morcha should move ahead jointly. [break]
Inaugurating the Western Industrial Business Mela and third Baglung Festival, he said, “The five of us, all sons of farmers, have serious responsibilities and all should execute their respective tasks in a proper way.”
He also said that there won´t be a new constitution and the peace process won´t conclude unless all five unite.
“Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Congress President Sushil Koirala and UML Chairman Jhala Nath Khanal are sons of farmers from the Hill region. I and Coordinator of Madhesi Morcha Bijaya Kumar Gachchaddar are sons of farmers from the Terai region,” he said.
President Yadav also added that all responsible leaders should move ahead as per the demand of the nation. “I became head of state after first being a farmer, a doctor and a politician,” he said, adding, “Similar is the case of the other political leaders and we should act responsibly since every word we speak may harm the nation.”
He added that the leaders shouldn´t forget the mandate given by the Nepali people and there was no alternative to promulgation of the new constitution within two months.
The head of state also said that the directive given by the Supreme Court with regard to the Constituent Assembly term was coming nearer [to taking effect].
He even urged people to think of themselves as Nepali first and then only as being from their respective castes and communities.
