NC general secretary Koirala seeks referendum on secularism



KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress General Secretary Dr. Shashank Koirala has said his party is ready to go for a referendum to decide the fate of republic, federalism and secularism.

Speaking at a tea reception on the occasion of Holi at his residence in Tokha, Koirala said referendum would be the right way to know the people’s opinion on secularism, federalism and republicanism.

He urged one and all to put pressure on the government to hold referendum to reinstate Nepal as a Hindu state. “Let people decide on key issues,” he said adding that the state cannot neither be secular nor non-secular, but freedom to religion.
