Kathmandu, June l (RSS): Former prime minister and Democracy Promotion Centre patron Krishna Prasad Bhattarai has said that no one can create obstructions along the way that opened up with the advent of democracy through a relentless struggle.

Releasing a book on ‘Social Justice: Nepalese Perspective’ written by executive member of the Local Development Training Centre Dr. Yagya Prasad Adhikari, Mr. Bhattarai said that all should be conscious and alert towards consolidating democracy which is considered the best polity in the world these days.

He noted that the future of democracy in Nepal is extremely secure despite the fact that different kinds of assaults have impinged upon it since its inception.

He also stressed that democracy should be consolidated here in Nepal as a model for the entire Asian continent.

General secretary of the Nepali Congress Shushil Koirala, from the chair, said that as there is no alternative to democracy, the concept of socialism should be spread through the consolidation of democracy.

Referring to the many ups and downs that characterised the ushering in of democracy, he said that its shortcomings should be corrected through talks.

Commenting on the book released today, NC central member and party spokesman Narahari Acharya said the book has been presented as a revolutionary attempt.
