KATHMANDU: The meeting of top leaders from Nepal’s three major political parties concluded on Saturday at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar with a strong consensus to stand united in defense of the federal democratic republic.
The leaders deemed the recent pro-monarchy protests as “non-political, violent, and criminal in nature,” according to sources present at the meeting. They stressed that such movements pose a threat to the country’s constitutional order and peace.
The meeting was attended by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba, and CPN (Maoist Centre) Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’. Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak and UML leader Agni Kharel also participated.
“There is an agreement among the three leaders to stand together to safeguard the federal republic,” a source said. “The ongoing royalist movement was concluded to be violent, apolitical, and criminal.”
The meeting also reached a consensus to jointly resist any activity aimed at undermining the current political system.
Discussions also touched on the transitional justice process. Advisor Agni Kharel informed that an update was provided regarding the work of the recommendation committee formed to appoint officials to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission on Investigation of Enforced Disappeared Persons.
The leaders expressed a shared commitment to move forward with vigilance against any efforts that violate the constitution or disrupt social harmony and national peace.
