UML to continue protests to reinstate House of Representatives

CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has said that his party will continue public demonstrations across the country to press for the reinstatement of the House of Representatives dissolved on September 12 after the GenZ movement overthrew the coalition government led by him.

Speaking to journalists belonging to the Press Chautari Nepal, the organization affiliated to his party CPN-UML the at his residence in Gundu in Bhaktapur district on Sunday, Chairman Oli said the protests will intensify rather than subside. “We have started public demonstrations; they will not stop and will only grow stronger,” Oli said.

Oli criticized the Sushila Karki led government for lacking accountability toward representatives and the Constitution, terming it “unconstitutional.” “This government is not accountable to anyone and is not recognized by anyone; it must be removed,” he demanded.

The UML is currently organizing demonstrations in different parts of the country to mobilize its cadres to press for the demand for the reinstatement of the House of Representatives. Oli on the occasion said that the party will continue the protests until the House is reinstated. While stating that his party will never run away from election, he however, claimed that the current unconstitutional government has no authority to hold the election. Except, the CPN- UML led by Oli, all other parties including Nepali Congress, newly formed Nepali Communist Party led by Pushpakamal Dahal “Prachanda” and Rastriya Swotantra Party have said that they will participate in the general election scheduled for March 5.
