Former PM Bhattarai Warns Against Federalism Dismantling

Kathmandu. Former Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai has stated that if the ruling party RSP decides to abolish the provincial assembly through its general convention and thereby dismantle federalism, it would be a big mistake.

On social media, he said, "From a legal perspective, if on one hand a task force is formed to prepare a 'Constitution Amendment Working Paper' by the government led by oneself, and on the other hand, one's own unilateral decision is imposed on others, it will create a great crisis of trust among parties, various ethnic groups, and the general public, and it can push the country towards disaster."
