Secretariat member of Netra Bikram Chand-led Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist-Chand) Dharmendra Bastola while talking to media in Gorkha District on April 11 said the country needs to hold a referendum to abolish the parliamentary system, reports Khabar Hub. Claiming that the current parliamentary set up was undemocratic, Bastola urged all the political forces to move beyond the parliamentary system. “Undemocratic ways are witnessed in countries that follow parliamentary system of governance. Political parties here too are stuck in this system. I urge everyone to overcome it. If political parties cannot reach consensus to adopt progressive political system, then a referendum should be held to let the people make the ultimate decision,” Bastola said.
