There is no basis for return of monarchy: UML

KATHMANDU: The CPN-UML has concluded that there is no basis for the return of the monarchy.

During a Secretariat meeting of the party held in Chyasal on Monday, Deputy General Secretary Pradeep Gyawali said that monarchy and democracy cannot taken forward parallelly.

He said that a meeting endorsed a special proposal stating that efforts to take the country back to undemocratic direction is unacceptable.

“The debate on ruling the country on the basis of lineage even today is ridiculous in itself,” Gyawali said, adding, “This will be harmful for the country. Our party stands in favour of Constitution and federal democratic republic and inclusive system.”
