Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba on the second day of his India visit had assured Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he would take initiatives to amend the constitution after mustering two-third majority from the parliamentary elections to be held later this year. The statement drew criticism from stakeholders in Nepal. Whereas the main opposition CPN-UML has sought the PM’s clarification over the statement in Parliament, some leaders within the ruling coalition as well have expressed dissatisfaction claiming the PM brought the internal issue abroad.
But, upon his arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport on Sunday evening, the Prime Minister said he did not do anything wrong by talking about the amendment.
“We believe that the constitution should be amended to address the concerns of Madheshi people,” The Himalayan Times lead story quotes the PM as saying, “Can we not speak of our views on a particular issue?”
According to the report, the PM was apparently angry when a journalist asked for him for her response to the main opposition’s denouncement of his remarks. “There is no code as to what Nepali leaders should or should not speak in a foreign country,” he added.
Meanwhile, the PM said he visit was successful, according to Rajdhani.
Hello, My Name Is Sandip Oli. I am Form Kathmandu, Nepal.
