Kathmandu, Jan 6: Leaders of different political parties have said that it would be a true tribute to former President of the Nepali Congress and former Prime Minister, Sushil Koirala, to effectively implement the new constitution.
Inaugurating the ‘Sushil Koirala Memorial Foundation’ here on Thursday, the leaders pointed out that there was no alternative to consensus among political parties for constitution implementation and praised the leading role of late Koirala to promulgate the constitution through the Constituent Assembly.
On the occasion, Nepali Congress President and former Prime Minister, Sher Bahadur Deuba, said that the country was successful to get the new constitution in the complex situation due to coordinative role of late Koirala and added that the new constitution would be fully implemented only if the election of three tiers would be held on the slated time.
Clarifying about the misinterpretation of the Supreme Court by the opposition parties, he said, “The Legislature-Parliament has now the right to make changes in delineation at a time when there is no provincial assembly.”
Similarly, former Prime Minister and senior leader of the CPN (UML), Jhalanath Khanal, said that late Koirala should be remembered as ‘Man of the Millennium’ due to his role and added that collaboration among three major political parties was indispensible for constitution implementation.
Saying the major political parties should be united to end the existing political stalemate by bringing all sides into a consensus, NC senior leader Ram Chandra Poudel expressed the view that effective implementation of the constitution would establish stability in the country.
Likewise, former Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Khil Raj Regmi, said that major political parties should rise above partisan interest to address dissatisfaction surfaced towards constitution while leader of the CPN (Maoist Centre) and former Deputy Prime Minister, Narayankaji Shrestha, said that simple lifestyle of late Koirala was an example to all and expressed the view that parties should go for election by addressing the demands of disgruntled sides through constitution amendment.
On the occasion, NC General Secretary Dr Shashanka Koirala, NC Treasurer and Minister for Peace and Reconstruction Sitadevi Yadav, NC leader Prakashman Singh, Chief Whip of the Federal Socialist Forum Nepal, Shivaji Yadav, and Foundation member Atul Koirala shed light on the personality and contribution of late Koirala.
