KATHMANDU, Jan 27: Chief Minister of Province No. 2 Lal Babu Raut has said that the bills relating to police and internal security is against the spirit of federalism.
Speaking at a face-to-face organised at Reporters Club here today, he said the bill against the spirit of the Constitution and norms of federalism must be withdrawn.
He objected to the provision giving the Chief District Officer all the powers relating to law and order, including police mobilization.
Chief Minister Raut also made it clear that his government had already introduced the provincial police act and stressed on the need to follow the list of jurisdiction as provided in the schedule of the Constitution in this regard.
“Both the bills should be withdrawn and re-written as per the constitution, which gives the right to the provincial government,” he said. (RSS)
