KATHMANDU: Former President, Dr. Ram Baran Yadav has suggested the government and political parties work in tandem by fully embracing the letter and spirit of the constitution, democracy, republic, federalism, and inclusive proportional principles.
The former President said this while launching a book ‘Constitution-Making: Reflections and Experiences’ penned by Chairperson of Samajbadi Janata Dal and former minster Prem Bahadur Singh in the capital city of Kathmandu on Saturday.
“It is the shared responsibility of all Nepali people to protect the achievements obtained through Nepali people’s 70-year-long sacrifices and struggles. It was not merely the outcome of 2007 April Uprising”, Dr. Yadav added.
He further noted, “The Nepal Constitution was promulgated when some of the forces were opting to deform the Constituent Assembly. It has embraced the aspirations of all communities despite some of the issues raised by some indigenous groups and communities”.
The ex-President urged the political parties to cautiously work to safeguard the achievements. He also questioned whether the appointments made in constitutional bodies and judiciary are fair or not.
“I call for the government and political parties to listen to the voice of the people and end the environment of mistrust”.
