Kathmandu, April 26: CPN (UML) Chair KP Sharma Oli has said the party was not backing the revised constitution amendment bill as it evaluated it as against the interests of the nation.
In his address to
a programme organised in commemoration of the 18th memorial day of former Prime
Minister Manmohan Adhikari by the
Manmohan Memorial Foundation today, he
said the revised constitution amendment
proposal presented by the government
in the parliament was more 'anti-nationalist' than the previous one and
was capable of having a long-term impact.
He
went on to say that some political parties who got ready to amend the
constitution just for addressing their 'particular' interest should address the
sentiments of the opposition.
"The
government has moved back from its earlier decision of holding the local-level
election in a single-phase on May 14. The election of a second-round must be
conducted before the budget speech," he asserted. The former Prime
Minister highlighted on the role and contribution of the late Adhikari in the
restoration of democracy in the country and of India's liberation struggle as
well.
Foundation chair
Bharat Mohan Adhikari shed light on the late Adhikari's contribution to the
development of politics at home and in India.
