Butwal, May 4: President of Rastriya Prajatantra Party and former Prime Minister Surya Bahadur Thapa has said that there is no alternative to the multi-party system and everyone has to adhere to the spirit of the constitution for the sake of national stability.

Speaking at a press meet held here by the party, Mr. Thapa said ten years is not adequate for assessing the democratic exercise that has taken place during that period.

It is laudable that the present government has expressed its commitment to ensuring good governance, controlling corruption and maintaining law and order in the country, he said adding, this can yield a positive outcome it is put into action.

But it is a matter of grave concern that the present government has not seriously addressed these very issues of good governance, corruption control and law and order in which the nations is entangled, he added.

In reply to a question, he said regarding such grave issues it is not sufficient to appeal through media such as radio and television.

The rpp has a good opportunity to gain political popularity since the ruling party is busy working for its own interest and the opposition has lost its identity in the face of corruption, he added.

He further said that the constitution should not be amended just because someone so wills adding that it should be specified clearly which clause and provision under the constitution is creating a hindrance.
