Chairman of the Maoist Center Pushpa Kamal Dahal has challenged to amend the proportional representation system and inclusiveness. Addressing the meeting of the House of Representatives on Thursday, he asked not to imagine bringing a two-party system.
Some leaders of Congress and UML were heard to guarantee that the country will now be made into a two-party system. I ask those leaders, is it because of your mercy that the country is multi-party today? CPN (Maoist Center) was formed by your compassion? Have you kindly opened the former Madhesi People's Rights Forum? Did you give boxes, 21 seats of Rashtriya Swatantra Party?', he asked, 'Janamat Party led by Sike Routji was created by you? Do you want the presence of Civil Liberation Party in this Parliament?'
He said that if the ruling coalition shows arrogance, the current threshold to become a national party will be heavy. You, who once set a record by forming fifteen governments in sixteen years, cannot even touch the fact that proportional representation system and inclusiveness have to be revised. This has become my open challenge," Dahal said, "The Nepali Congress and CPN-UML did not give the present rights to the neglected and oppressed classes including Dalits, women, Madhesi, tribals, tribes, and Tharu as a gift on the foundation day of their parties." It is no longer possible to take away the self-respect and representation of the marginal class. Tomorrow, even if only one seat is left for Maoists, you will not be able to return to your old place,' he added, 'You should first take care of the stakeholders within your own party and talk to us. Don't try to lead the nation to an unwanted conflict in the name of amending the constitution by mixing up the historical and epoch-making agreements between the parties.'
