Opposition Parties Conclude That The Govt Is Becoming Autocratic

Jan 17, Kathmandu- Opposition parties have expressed serious concern over the government's decision to issue serious laws through ordinances on the same issue without convening the regular winter session of the federal parliament to draft laws or withdraw bills that were under discussion in parliamentary committees.

Seven opposition parties have issued a joint statement, stating that this move by the government has attacked the spirit and spirit of the constitution and demonstrated a dangerous, arbitrary and autocratic tendency to mock the parliamentary system.

The statement said, "We strongly condemn this move to introduce laws through ordinances that will seriously affect the long-term future of the nation, bypassing Parliament, to serve the vested interests of the opposition parties, the government, and the ruling coalition parties."

The constitution's statement envisages imposing a two-party dictatorship under the name of 'threshold' or some other name. It says, 'However, the repeated efforts to introduce ordinances related to political parties in an arbitrary and dictatorial manner to maintain power and split the opposition parties are leading to a situation where the historical achievements of the Nepali people through various struggles are being taken away. The beauty of democracy is respect for different opinions and diversity. We oppose the above-mentioned steps of the government to create autocracy, arbitrariness and dictatorship under this or that pretext".
