Chairman of Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) Pashupati Shumsher Rana has said that the government was conspiring to push parliamentary parties out of the ambit of the constitution.

Speaking at a program in the capital Sunday, Rana said, “The government frequently talks about unity among the constitutional forces but it is trying its best to force the seven-party alliance to go outside the constitutional framework.”

Rana squarely blamed cabinet vice-chairman Dr Tulsi Giri and Home Minister Kamal Thapa for not creating an atmosphere for talks between the royal palace and the political parties.

The RPP chairman said the cabinet duo were the major obstacle to the parties-king dialogue, which is essential to bail the country out of the present crisis, adding, “The conspiracy to widen differences between the king and the parties is aimed at denying the king even a constitutional status that is well-accepted by the parties.”

The government should take the initiative for dialogue and understanding between the constitutional forces, he added.

He further said that the arrest of CPN-UML general Secretary Madhav Nepal, seizure of communication equipment and computers from his home and search of his residence were examples of arbitrariness.

He alleged that the government promoted anarchism in all the government mechanisms including army, police and civil servants.

Stating that anarchy would prevail in the country until peace and democracy were restored, Rana further said even civil servants were feeling demoralized in the present situation.
