Khanal joins chorus for action against Paras

THT ONLINE

KATHMANDU: Commenting on the Tiger Tops incident in Chitwan, where former crown prince Paras Shah whipped out a pistol and threatened Rubel Choudhary, son-in-law of Deputy Prime Minister Sujata Koirala, CPN-UML chairman Jhalanath Khanal said that no one is above the law and the constitution and therefore the nation should take action against the guilty.

He made this statement while speaking at a programme organised by the Reporters Club to hand over a memorandum to the leaders to press the political parties to initiate the task for creating consensus among the parties and establish political stability. Earlier the club had submitted the memorandum to the president of the Nepali Congress Sushil Koirala.

On the occasion he said that the party is against a government based on pluralism, since they are endeavouring for national consensus government. The decision of sticking to the consensus government could not be changed even by the central committee meeting of the party, which starts today, he added.

Khanal said that in the absence of a consensus government the country could not move ahead. He claimed that whoever is elected prime minister in this situation could not handle the situation. However he expressed his confidence that the country would reach its destination by taking the peace process to its logical end and draft the constitution provided that the parties focus on forming a national consensus government.
