Mahendranagar: Chief Whip of Nepali Congress, Ramesh Lekhak said that consensus, cooperation and dialogue will be necessary to protect the country from instability and to strengthen the federal democratic republic.
In a press conference organized by the Nepal Press Union Kanchanpur chapter in Mahendranagar today, he noted that there is dissatisfaction within the CPN (UML) in the current government and expressed his own doubts about the present ruling power equation.
“There is a strong opinion within the Nepali Congress and UML that big parties should form the government together,” he said, adding that people are also of the opinion that big parties should take the country in the right direction. However, there is no concrete progress about power sharing between Congress and UML, he said.
Even if it is not for running the government, cooperation and discussion between major parties is necessary for leading the country towards stability, to protect the constitution and to strengthen democracy. Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ himself has expressed a positive opinion about investigation into cooperative sectors and said that the Congress is also positive about it.
NC leader Lekhak said that the position of the Congress on the involvement of Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Ravi Lamichhane should be investigated. “Those who are in charge of investigating the matters such as misappropriation of cooperative funds are also accused”, he said, “We have not demanded resignation, but investigation.” He said that he is confident that the matter will be addressed before the Parliament meeting scheduled for May 10.
