The main opposition Nepali Congress (NC) will start street protest across the country against the KP Sharma Oli government.
NC has announced the street protest accusing the federal and provincial governments of undermining the rule of law instead of moving ahead in accordance to the spirit of constitution.
“District committees have been instructed to organize protest programs at the district headquarters on July 31 against autocratic and anti-people activities, and instructed all units of the party to take the issue to the people to make them participate in the protest programs,” a press statement issued in the name of NC General Secretary Shashank Koirala reads.
The statement adds that the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) has blatantly violated the constitutional provision requiring the speaker and deputy speaker of the House of Representatives (HoR) from different parties.
The party has also accused the government of ‘illegally’ revoking the ‘legitimate’ appointments made by the Sher Bahadur Deuba government. “The anti-people decision of the government to revoke the decision of the then government to reduce the threshold for elderly allowance to 65 years from 70, and provide Rs 5,000 per month to people with kidney and heart diseases, cancer and spinal injuries must be opposed,” the press statement adds.
