Thapa urges parties not to declare republic in haste
Kamal Thapa, president of Rastriya Prajatantra Party
(RPP-Nepal), has urged the political parties not to
declare republic in haste.
"Pro-republicans have won the election and they have
the power to declare republic. We accept that fact.
But we urge them not to declare republic in haste
because that could have far-reaching impact on
nation," Thapa said at a press meet, Tuesday.
He said that in a void created after uprooting
monarchy, problems like ultra leftist movement,
foreign interference and disintegration would become
challenging.
The RPP-Nepal has won four seats in the 601-member
Constituent Assembly (CA). It is the only party that
is overtly pro-monarchy.
The RPP-N has said that it will introduce a motion
favouring monarchical democratic system in the first
meeting of CA. nepalnews.com sd May 21 08
