Thousands of supporters of the Nepali Congress (NC) on January 9 staged demonstrations in all 330 provincial constituencies against dissolution of the House of Representatives (HoR), reports The Himalayan Times. Addressing a mass at Budhanilkanta, Kathmandu, NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba urged all to join hands with the NC as the communist parties had not been able to meet people’s expectations. He, however, also said it was not a democratic practice to exert pressure on the Supreme Court from the streets to give verdict in one’s favour. Deuba said, “Nepali Congress is a party that follows moral values. We believe in rule of law and the court. We shall wait for the SC’s verdict. We will abide by the decision of the court.” He further said that people’s verdict was above the SC’ verdict, so it would be alright to go to elections and seek their mandate. He however, also said that if Oli wouldn’t hold elections on the given date, the NC would throw out the PM through protests.
