A senior leader of the ruling Seven Party Alliance and General Secretary of the CPN-UML, Madhav Kumar Nepal, has said that no time frame should be set for dissolving the House of Representatives’ (HoR) that was reinstated last month on the basis of the people’s movement

Speaking at a program in Pokhara on Wednesday, Nepal said that it would be a blunder to dissolve the HoR in the absence of any other alternative representative system.

Nepal added the HoR should continue till the formation of another body of people’s representatives.

Nepal admitted that the government is delaying to take decisions in line with the people’s aspirations, but said, “Doing things in a democratic way takes some time”.

Defending Nepali Congress (Democratic) President Sher Bahadur Deuba, Nepal said the reports about Deuba’s remarks at Monday’s all-party meeting were totally false.

Responding to queries of journalists about what Deuba actually said during the meeting, Nepal said, “Deuba has been saying he will accept all proposals made by the other six parties in the alliance and he has reiterated his stance in the House too.”
