Participants of an interaction have warned that the party leaders, too, will be swept away if they tried to deceive people in any way.

Speaking at an interaction organised by the Everest Press Club in the capital on Saturday, president of the Maoist-affiliated trade union, All Nepal Trade Union Federation (ANTUF), Shalik Ram Jamarkattel said, “People’s movement will sweep away many party leaders if they tried to deceive people,” adding, “People will punish leaders for their misdeeds.”

He also accused parties of breaching the 12-point understanding by not consulting the Maoists before welcoming the royal proclamation.

“We will watch the developmetns after the House begins to decide on crucial issues, including the Royal Nepalese Army,” he added.

Speaking at the same programme, political analyst, Hari Roka said, “If the parties compel people to launch another people’s movement, it will not only sweep away monarchy but also leaders.”

Roka further said that the parliament should immediately take a decision on major issues raised by the people including an unconditional election to the constituent assembly and it should not sit for more than seven days.

Former general secretary of Nepali Congress-affiliated Nepal Students Union (NSU) Gagan Thapa claimed that people close to the Palace were conspiring against the people.

“The Royal Nepalese Army is the most powerful aide to the King and the Parliament should immediately decide to keep RNA under the Parliament,” Thapa added. nepalnews.com pb Apr 30 06
