NC to walk out of CA if left bulldozes democrats: Dr Koirala
BY KULCHANDRA NEUPANE
"NC lawmakers will be compelled to resign en masse from the CA if the left alliance tries to draft the constitution in favor of leftists by bulldozing NC's democratic norms," Koirala said.
Presenting a paper at a party program organized by NC Kaski, Dr Koirala said, "Maoists have taken democratic forces as their main foes immediately after the implementation of republic in the country."
Koirala alleged that Maoists are moving forward toward totalitarian and authoritarian rule in the country. He stressed the need for unity among democratic forces to foil the Maoist strategy of misusing all state mechanisms to attain their partisan goals.
The Maoist has started to demoralize security agencies and all other democratic institutions in the country, he blamed.
Dr Koirala further said the interim government could not decide on long-term issues of national importance.
Another NC central member Dr Prakash Sharan Mahat, said the party was compelled to work with Maoists due to the former king's wrong deeds.
"Maoists needed Nepali Congress to abolish monarchy," he said, adding, "They threw us out after the implementation of republic."
