Chairman of CPN (Maoist Centre) and former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal commented that the parliamentary system is a 'system of selling dog's meat by hanging a goat's head'.

President Dahal said this while addressing the book release program titled "Outlines of Samajwadi Darshan" held in Kathmandu on Thursday.

He reminded that during the democratic revolution, when Marxism was being preached, the statement that the parliamentary system is a system of selling dog meat by hanging a goat's head was widely publicized. He mentioned that the current tampering with the report of the committee is of the same nature.

Raising the issue related to the cooling period in the Civil Bill, Dahal remarked that even though the head of a goat is shown, when it is sold, it is treated like selling dog meat.

He said, 'Now if you look at us, there is an idea, a tendency to honestly use the basic principles specified in the constitution, but there is an exercise or fight to reverse all the positive, progressive and popular things in the constitution and make it reactionary. We said yesterday when we were preaching Marxism during the democratic revolution - it was widely preached that the parliamentary system is a system of hanging goats' heads and selling dog meat. Such is the current tampering with the committee's report. When it is shown, it shows the goat's head - democracy, but when it is sold, the dog's meat is sold inside. The same thing is going on.'
