Existing Constitution doesn’t recognise monarchy: Lawmaker Pant


KATHMAND –  CPN (UML) lawmaker Raghuji Pant has said the attempts have been intensified to spread illusion and frustrations in the country while the abuse of some media and social sites has been noticed.

Airing his view in a special session of the House of Representatives (HoR) today, he said study suggests a positive change in the living standard of the majority of people with an improvement of their economic status.

He said in the gap of 15 years since the country switched to a federal democratic system on May 28, 2008, the income of Nepali citizens increased by around three fold with strengthened democracy,” he said, comparing the country’s economic scenario of the country during and after the monarchy.

But the false narrative has been spread, claiming that nothing significant happened in the country in the aftermath of the establishment of federal republic democratic, according to him.

“The existing Constitution of Nepal does not recognise the monarchy,” the legislator said, urging the bodies concerned to not dream of the possibility of restoration of monarchy. He said the Nepali citizens do not want the monarchy restored and that it is worthless to spend a time to discuss about the possibility of restoration of monarchy.

“A son from the Terai had become the President, a woman from the far- east Nepal had become the President. Tomorrow, a person from the ethnic or other community may hold the post. What is the problem here,” he questioned, highlighting the significance of an inclusive and diverse representations in the State power in the federal democratic republic system.
