Kathmandu, April 4:

A group of dissident NC activists have come up with a notion of promoting constitutional monarchy in the upcoming constituent assembly elections.

Organising a press conference today, Yuvraj Khati, coordinator of the Nepali Congress Baicharik Abhiyan, said they would protest against “extremism in NC”. “We are sorry to say that both the NC and NC-D are now led by the leaders who lack theoretical base and they are only running after power. We want to create a group to keep the NC in its middle path track,” he said.

“We neither support absolute monarchy nor a republic. We prefer constitutional monarchy,” he said.
