UML deputy general secretary Pradeep Gyawali pointed to former president Bidya Devi Bhandari and said that the defense of the republic cannot be done by the army and the police alone.
In a seminar organized by UML Kaski on the occasion of the 47th Pushpalal Memorial Day on Wednesday, he said that the defense of the republic is not only about the army and the police. There is a fierce attack on the republic. It will be protected from attack and established in the hearts of the people," he added, "Who will protect the republic? It is not only done by the army and the police. The people had to realize that this is the system made for us in the true situation.'
He narrated the incident of Ramvaran Yadav sitting as the former president after the end of his tenure, even though he is a big leader of Congress in Madhesh. He said that the issue of how to set an example is a matter of his own hands. Therefore, the Central Committee meeting decided that it would be better for the former president to be in a parental role as he is in a respected position.
He said that since all subjects are not written clearly in the constitution, behavior, practice and established norms should be looked at. Will a person who has reached that height come back and join party politics or not? Many things are not written in the constitution. "Everything is not written in the constitution," he said.
He said that people who have been honored should bear parental responsibility when elements like royalists increase their activities. While seven other leaders were honored as Communist Warriors, former President Bhandari was honored with the ``Ganatantra Gaurav'' on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of the establishment of the CPN, he said.
