Nepal – Crossing the party line, some Nepali Congress central committee members and party representatives in the Constituent Assembly have formally formed a committee to do away with the country’s secular identity. They thus vow to revive Nepal’s Hindu identity under the leadership of Khum Bahadur Khadka.
Inviting chaos.
The Nepali Congress, according to Khadka, is yet to formally endorse the secular order.
On May 18, 2006, former King Gyanendra Shah resurrected “dead” parliament that not only curtailed his power but also declared the country secular. After two years, the newly elected Constituent Assembly 28 May 2008 declared the country republic by sidelining the institution of Monarchy.
The legitimacy of the decision is still being questioned.
How can a parliament dissolved by an elected government be revived, ask critics, and while giving continuity to the unconstitutional decision not only the King’s power was curtailed but also an election to the constituent assembly was declared by the same parliament to finally do away with monarchy?
Late GP Koirala was above the law then.
Nonetheless, in Kathmandu, October 31, 2014 a meeting was held between the selected Nepali Congress leaders to form ‘Sanatan Hindu Rashtra Revival Committee’ headed by Khum Bahadur as its president and its deputy as Laxman Ghimire and General Secretary Kumar Regmi.
Tara Nath Rana Bhat, Pushpa Bhusal, Devendra Kandel and Subarna Juharchan among others are the members of the committee.
Senior Journalist Dev Prakash Tripathi has been appointed as the committee’s spokesperson.
The committee has called for a national level meeting in Kathmandu on November 6, 2014.
“We have decided to invite Prime Minister and Party President Sushil Koirala, party deputy Ram Chandra Poudel and seniors leader Sher Bahadur Deuba as the chief guests of the ceremony”, disclosed secretary Kumar Regmi talking to the media.
