The main opposition Nepali Congress (NC) on January 16 held demonstrations in all 753 local levels across the country against the Government’s December 20 move to dissolve the House of Representative (HoR), reports The Himalayan Times. Addressing a mass in Bharatpur Municipality, Chitwan, NC’s senior leader Ramchandra Paudel said it was the communist leaders who had derailed the country’s path of development and prosperity towards communalism and regression, while all neighbouring countries were swiftly heading towards prosperity. He further said that it was now the duty of every citizen to save the constitution of the country and the nation itself by reinstating the dissolved House. “But, no one should assume that through our protests we are exerting pressure on the Supreme Court about a case sub-judice in the court.”
