In a rare display of political unity, chief whips from eight major political parties in Nepal have jointly condemned the government’s decision to dissolve the House of Representatives, calling it unconstitutional and a direct threat to democratic values.
Eight Major Parties Unite
The signatories represent Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, Maoist Centre, Unified Socialist, Democratic Socialist Party, Janata Samajwadi Party, Nagarik Unmukti Party, and Janamat Party. Together, they issued a strong statement urging the immediate revocation of the House dissolution and demanded that the President’s Office reconvene Parliament without delay.
Joint Statement Against House Dissolution
The leaders emphasized that Nepal’s federal democratic republican constitution, achieved through years of struggle and sacrifice, must not be undermined by unconstitutional decisions. They warned that dissolving the House of Representatives sets a dangerous precedent and weakens the country’s democratic foundation.
“The dissolution of Parliament is not only unconstitutional but also a direct assault on democratic values and constitutional supremacy,” the joint statement read.
Tribute to Gen Z Protest Victims
Alongside their demand to restore Parliament, the leaders also expressed solidarity with the ongoing Gen Z movement. They paid tribute to the 51 individuals who lost their lives during recent protests and extended their wishes for the speedy recovery of the injured youths.
The statement also called for independent investigations into property damage during the protests and urged the government to ensure legal action against those responsible.
Why This Political Unity Matters
Nepal’s political landscape has often been marked by rivalry and division among parties. However, the rare show of unity among eight influential political forces signals a growing consensus against unconstitutional moves that threaten Nepal’s fragile democracy.
Observers say that this joint action could put significant pressure on the government and the President’s Office to restore parliamentary order and respect constitutional provisions.
Conclusion
The joint demand by eight major parties reflects the gravity of the situation surrounding the dissolution of the House of Representatives. With public anger already heightened by the Gen Z movement, the coming weeks will be crucial for Nepal’s democratic future.
If the government fails to address the concerns raised, political instability and public protests are likely to intensify, further testing the resilience of Nepal’s federal democratic system.
