Prachanda urges protection of federalism, constitutional rights



KATHMANDU: Nepali Communist Party Coordinator and former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said that translating the achievements of the Constitution into tangible improvements in people’s lives and completing the remaining tasks of the constitutional process are among the country’s key responsibilities.

Extending his greetings on Constitution Day 2083 BS, Prachanda called for collective efforts to achieve the fundamental changes envisioned by the Constitution.

He said attempts to roll back the Constitution, the federal democratic republic and the rights secured by the people would be unacceptable. He also called on democratic forces to unite against activities that undermine the constitutional values and rights.

“We should ensure access to education, health, employment, production and equal opportunities for all citizens by linking political change with economic and social transformation. Not only the letter of the Constitution, but also its spirit should be implemented in a way that is reflected in people’s daily lives,” Dahal said in his message.

He said the Constitution is not merely a legal document but an institutional expression of Nepal’s historic political achievements, which were attained through the sacrifices and struggles of the Nepali people.
