Essence of coalition meeting – PM should not resign

KATHMANDU: The ruling coalition has deemed the main opposition party UML’s call for Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’s resignation as unconstitutional.

The ruling coalition met on Thursday at the Prime Minister’s official house in Baluwatar and determined that the UML’s demand for the Prime Minister’s resignation is unconstitutional.

The meeting also agreed that Prime Minister Prachanda does not need to resign.

The UML has requested Prime Minister Prachanda resign over his assertion that Pritam Singh travelled to Delhi several times to become Prime Minister.

On Wednesday, the UML shut down both chambers of the Federal Parliament in protest of Prime Minister Prachanda’s departure.

After this, the ruling coalition meeting held on Thursday morning decided that Prime Minister Prachanda should resign, calling UML’s action unparliamentary.

Prime Minister and Chair of Maoist Centre Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, President of Congress Sher Bahadur Deuba, Chair of JSP Upendra Yadav, Vice Chair of Unified Socialist Party Rajendra Pandey, Chair of Civil Liberation Party Ranjita Chaudhary, Chair of LSP Mahanta Thakur, Chair of Public Opinion CK Raut and other leaders participated in the meeting.
