Prachanda: Constitution amendment necessary for political stability

Kathmandu: Former Prime Minister and Chairperson of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has stressed the need to amend the constitution for political stability.

Addressing a press conference organised by Press Centre Nepal, Rupandehi in Bhairahawa on Thursday, Chairperson Prachanda, who arrived in Rupandehi as part of the party’s awareness campaign, expressed concern that the CPN (UML) and the Nepali Congress had brought the issue of constitution amendment during the formation of the government but failed to proceed ahead with it.

‘The constitution amendment is necessary for stability, and it should be reviewed and amended within 10 years,’ said   Prachanda. He further said that the constitution amendment is not to restrict the rights of the people but to enhance their rights.

He said that his party has no interest in toppling the government, and the awareness campaign has been launched to establish the rights of the people and to understand the sufferings, and even to defeat all kinds of efforts launched against the republican system in the name of restoration of monarchy or any other.
