We will defend our Constitution in the same manner: PM Dahal

Kathmandu: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal clarified that the CPN Maoist Centre will not weaken the constitution and will never allow others to do so as the party has a huge investment in this Constitution drafted by the Constituent Assembly.

Addressing the House of Representatives today while seeking a vote of confidence today, the Prime Minister stated that the constitution provides a month to the Prime Minister to seek a vote of trust, he said the party under his leadership will consistently defend the constitution.

“The Maoist Centre has made a big investment in this constitution. Therefore, the Maoist does not make it weak and it also does not allow it to be sapped,” the PM asserted. 

“This constitution made on the foundation of a decade-long revolt and the subsequent movements of the oppressed classes, regions, genders, and communities has been protected taking the support of the people from the streets, and it will be defended in the same manner in the coming days as well,” he reiterated.

He said that it was regrettable to engage in changing government instead of relief and rescue works

Stating that landslide and flooding incidents have caused damage in various parts of the country, PM Dahal reiterated that all political parties should have been engaged in relief and rescue works at such time. He expressed regret that instead they are involved in change in government. 

Dahal said this in the meeting of the House of Representatives today before presenting a proposal in the House as per Rule 155 of the HoR Regulations, 2079, seeking the vote of confidence as per Article 100 (2) of the Constitution of Nepal. 

The proposal will be put to a decision of the House today itself.
