Assault On Democracy
BY KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
On December 31, 2008, speaking at a program held in Bhaktapur, Nepali Congress leader Prakash Man Singh said that the democracy has been facing assaults from various quarters; so, all democratic-minded Nepalis need to unite to face such attacks squarely.
Prakash Man Singh is the son of the Supreme Leader of the People’s Movement of 1990, Ganesh Man Singh who is often dubbed as the Father of Democracy in Nepal.
Prakash Man Singh won the election for the Constituent Assembly from the constituency number one of the Kathmandu Metropolitan Area. He has been leading the republican front in his Nepali Congress party. So, he won the election with more than twice the votes of his nearest rival: candidate of the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist and Leninist.
However, the monarchists in the Nepali Congress Party headed by former Prime Minister and self—declared Parliamentary Party Leader Girjia Prasad Koirala have been boycotting the sessions of the Constituent Assembly demanding the enforcement of the nine-point agreement the Nepali Congress has reached with the Government of the six coalition parties. The republicans in the Nepali Congress have been following the monarchists quietly although most of the monarchists lost the lection for the Constituent Assembly.
