Kathmandu, September 29:

CPN-UML standing committee member Bamdev Gautam has said that all the political parties and civil society should be united to uproot autocracy from the country, as the general public cannot tolerate slavery. “The autocracy needs to be uprooted as King always wanted to be the master and treat the general public as slaves,” said Gautam. “Constitutional monarchy is for the King only, not for the general public. Hence all parties should be united for establishing a democratic republic,” said Gautam. “The political parties should not repeat the same mistake and should move ahead to achieve the goal of a democratic republican set- up,” said Gautam.
