KATHMANDU, July 12: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has made it clear that the CPN (Maoist Center) will not weaken the constitution, nor will it allow others to do so as the Maoist Center has a huge investment in this constitution drafted by the Constituent Assembly.

Stating that the constitution provides a months' time to the Prime Minister to seek a vote of trust, he said the party under his leadership will consistently defend the constitution. "The Maoist Center has made a big investment in this constitution. Therefore, we will not weaken the constitution nor will we allow others to weaken it," the PM asserted.
"This constitution made on the foundation of a decade-long revolt and the subsequent movements of the oppressed classes, regions, genders and communities has been protected taking the support of the people from the streets, and it will be defended in the same manner in the coming days as well," he reiterated.
'Regrettable to engage in changing government instead of relief and rescue works'
Meanwhile, stating that landslides and floods have caused damage in various parts of the country, PM Dahal said all political parties should have been engaged in relief and rescue works at such a time. He expressed regret that they were instead involved in changing the government.
