Nepal Workers and Peasants Party (NWPP) has urged the reinstated House of Representatives (HoR) to move ahead as per the people’s aspiration expressed during the people’s movement and immediately move towards the election of the constituent assembly.

A press statement issued by the party after a three day long emergency meeting of the party on Monday, said, the party has demanded reinstatement of the local representatives elected through the election of 1997 as per the commitment of the seven political parties during the pro-democracy movement of the country.

The party also asked the government to take immediate action against those using excessive force to suppress the pro-democracy movement of the country and to recover the fund misused for the purpose of suppressing the movement from their personal property.

The party further demanded to revoke all ordinances issued by the unconstitutional government under the direct rule of the King.

The party also demanded to revoke the Terrorist and Disruptive Act (Control and Punishment) Ordinance to create conducive environment for the talks with the Maoists.

The party also asked the government to immediately constitute a negotiation team to hold talks with the Maoists and invite them for talks.

The statement further said that the party has decided to raise the issue of socialist republic during the election of the constituent assembly.

The party reiterated that the party will not join the coalition government of the seven political parties and added that it will play the role of constructive opposition in the parliament.

The seven political parties have decided to form a cabinet with representation from all seven political parties.

The King reinstated the dissolved HoR as per the roadmap of the seven political parties, following popular people’s movement.
