No looking back from republicanism, federalism: Dr. Koirala



KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress leader Dr. Shekhar Koirala has said the country will not in any way deviate from federalism and republicanism.

Speaking at a program in the capital today, Dr. Koirala said religion and politics should be seen separately. He suggested to finalize the issue of secularism through an act.

He also smelt rat on the current activities of the President, who is ceremonial. “We are worried, seriously with the role of the President and the activities,” he said adding that the country would undergo unfortunate circumstances if the President tried to be active.
