KATHMANDU, Dec 26: Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal (RPP-N), the only political party that advocates for constitutional monarchy in the country, has endorsed an eleven-point resolution that also includes a demand for declaration of the country as a Hindu state.

According to the resolution, social and religious harmony will be maintained in the country by declaring the country a Hindu state. The RPP-N has demanded abolition of caste and gender discrimination in the country.

The party has stressed the need for boycotting the corrupt leaders. Similarly, RPP-N has demanded a ban on killing of cow that is worshiped in the Hindu religion.



Addressing the function, Thapa claimed that they would continue to struggle until the country is declared a Hindu state. "The Interim Constitution will be amended if political parties agree on holding fresh election. So, we demand amendment to the Interim Constitution and declare the country a Hindu state," he said.



Thapa stated that RPP-N is emerging as an alternative force to fulfill the dream of new Nepal. He accused religious missionaries of spreading Christianity by converting the poor, especially Dalits and indigenous peoples.

In a bid to exert pressure on the government and major political parties, RPP-N on December 17 had launched Rath Yatra from Janakpur. The party had organized about 160 mass gatherings during the journey.
