Opposition Leader Angdembe Questions Governance Structure and Federalism

Kathmandu. Chief opposition party Nepali Congress's parliamentary party leader Bhishma Raj Angdembe has objected to the tendency to question the country's current governance structure and federalism. Speaking at a program organized at Singh Durbar on Tuesday on the occasion of the 68th Parliament Day, leader Angdembe said that blaming the system for the inaction and weakness of political leadership is political immaturity. 

Angdembe warned that attempts are being made to attack the current governance structure, and this does not send a good signal. 'We are blaming the governance structure for our own inaction, immaturity of thought, and weakness. It is by no means appropriate to question the system without understanding it well and without fully practicing it,' he said. 

Angdembe said that the structure of seven provinces and three tiers of government adopted by the country did not come about arbitrarily and must be preserved. 'No wave, impulse, or excitement should influence the governance structure,' he said. 'This historic achievement, obtained through the blood and great sacrifice of the people, should not be held hostage to indecision under any pretext.'

Angdembe said that instead of talking about changing the system, it is necessary to provide the people with the experience of real democracy and development through the current structure. He urged all parties not to question the current constitution and governance structure, which is a historical conclusion, and to focus on its successful implementation.
