As the political deadlock deepens, Nepali Congress (NC) seems to have hardened its stance regarding the republic declaration and adoption of full proportional representation election system as demanded by the Maoists.
Just as Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala rejected the demands for PR system saying that its adoption could derail the polls, Finance Minister and senior Congress leader Dr. Ram Sharan Mahat has ruled out declaring republic from the interim parliament.
Speaking in Pokhara, Dr. Mahat said that the constitution cannot be amended nor the government changed without the consent of NC.
He said that the proposals on republic and PR passed by the parliament recently was anti-constitutional and, thus, could not be implemented
