KATHMANDU: Chairman of the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has apologized to the people saying that Prime Minister KP Oli picked by them to lead the government attacked the constitution and the republic.

Stating that the Prime Minister has made a mistake that will never be erased in history, Prachanda said that he has made a fault that cannot be forgiven.

While speaking at a protest assembly organized by his faction in Kathmandu on Tuesday against House dissolution, Prachanda said that the people would not pardon unless Prime Minister Oli apologizes with self-criticism

“People will forgive him only after Prime Minister Oli corrects his wrongdoing by saying he is a criminal,” Prachanda said, “Otherwise; this crime will never be erased in the history of the country,” Prachanda said.

Prachanda further said that he had never thought that the party which got a two-thirds majority should take to the streets within three years.

The former Prime Minister said that PM Oli was against federalism and secularism.

Noting that the House could not be dissolved until there are four alternatives within the HoR for the government formation, he said but the letter and spirit of the Constitution have been ruthlessly battered now.

“This is a huge blow against the House, sovereign parliament, and arduous struggle and devotion of the Nepali people,” Prachanda added.

He went on saying that, “The House has not been dissolved, it is still alive. The government has gone against the spirit of the Constitution and the aspiration of the people. The ongoing struggle would not cease until the reinstatement of the House”.

Expressing his confidence that the Supreme Court would respect the letter and spirit of the Constitution, Prachanda said he would not even imagine that the apex would not understand the essence of the Constitution.

He also urged the judiciary not to comprehend the people’s demonstration against the HoR dissolution as pressure for parliamentary reinstatement.

The people would grant an apology if the mistakes are timely corrected, he said warning that they would create a whirlpool of the protest until the revival of the House.

Accusing Oli of sowing the seed for party division, Prachanda said Oli never eager to attend the party meetings. He also claimed that they have the support of over 70 percent of central members even as per the details submitted to the Election Commission while merging the two parties for unity.

Prachanda further claimed that they would get the authenticity of the party and sun as an election symbol from the Election Commission.
