KATHMANDU, Nov 10: Prime Minister and President of Nepali Congress (NC) Sher Bahadur Deuba has challenged former King of Nepal, Gyanendra Shah, to fight election and run the government.
Speaking at a program organized at Ganeshman Memorial Foundation on Wednesday, PM Deuba warned the former king not to go against democracy, saying that everyone should go through the election process to lead the country. Mentioning that he was put in prison by the former king for saying that they will hand over everything except for democracy, he warned him not to go against the current system of governance.
RPP Chairman Thapa urges PM Deuba to deliver good governance ra...
“The republic was brought in by King Gyanendra, not us. I told him I can go against anything but democracy. I was put into prison for that, which enraged the public. I told him to move forward with the electoral process to lead the country. Just because they did not want to go for election, they went against democracy, said PM Deuba, “We have a very good constitution at the moment. Although there are some problems, we will resolve them in a democratic manner.”
Furthermore, PM Deuba said that the biggest strength of democracy is the people.
