KATHMANDU – Former Prime Minister and Chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has stressed the need of amending the constitution for political stability.
Addressing a press conference organised by Press Centre Nepal, Rupandehi in Bhairahawa today, Chair Dahal, who arrived in Rupandehi as part of the party’s awareness campaign, expressed concern that the CPN (UML) and the Nepali Congress had brought the issue of constitution amendment during the formation of the government but failed to proceed ahead with it.
“The constitution amendment is necessary for stability and it should be reviewed and amended within 10 years,” he said, adding that the constitution amendment is not to restrict the rights of the people but to enhance their rights.
Stating that his party has no interest in toppling down the government, he said the awareness campaign has been launched to establish the rights of the people and to understand the sufferings and even to defeat all kinds of efforts launched against the republican system in the name of restoration of monarchy or any others.
