KATHMANDU, July 12: The Nepali Congress (NC) has said there is no need for instructions from anyone regarding safeguarding the constitution and democracy as the NC has been fighting for the same cause since its inception.
While participating in the discussion on the proposal for a vote of confidence by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal in the House of Representatives (HoR) on Friday, NC Chief Whip Ramesh Lekhak argued that the NC is a party that has fought for democracy since its inception.

“It is a party that has made history by aligning the most prominent anti-democrats in the history of democracy. We should refrain from making comments based on imagination and assumptions. This constitution was brought by us. We will protect it. There is no need for instructions for this,” he said.
His remarks came after Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal accused the NC and the UML of moving towards regression. Lekhak also said that the constitution cannot be amended solely by the effort of two parties alone.
“We have decided that amending the constitution requires consensus among all parties. Someone had to take the initiative, so we have taken that initiative. This does not mean to make unilateral amendments that exclude other parties,” he added.
