A senior government minister has said that the former king is trying to become active taking advantage of the increasing discord and mistrust among the political parties.
Minister of State for Local Development Ganesh Bahadur Khadka said that the constitution cannot be promulgated within the May 28 deadline until the integration and rehabilitation work of Maoist combatants is finished.Khadka, who was speaking to journalists in a programme organized in Bhatkhola VDC-7, said that the responsibility of preparing a new constitution is upon the shoulders of all the political parties represented in the Constituent Assembly, but that the Maoists have emerged as a major hindrance in the constitution drafting process.
He also requested the former rebel party of not using their politically indoctrinated combatants to fulfill their vested political interests.
In an interview with a private television channel about a month ago, former king Gyanendra Shah had said that it is hypothetical to say monarchy has been abolished in the country and that it is up to the people to decide on the matter.
