Bhaktapur, Aug 2: Nepali Congress Deputy-General Secretary Jeevan Pariyar has argued that constitutional provision should be made to prevent the former presidents from joining the party politics.
Speaking at a programme organized by the NC Congress Surya Binayak Municipality on Saturday, such a provision should be in place even by amending the constitution.
Leader Pariyar noted that the constitution failed to incorporate the provision that allows individuals who have held the presidency to become rejoin active politics adding that it should be included in the current constitutional amendment.
He welcomed the decision made by the CPN (UML) that stopped former President Bidya Devi Bhandari from returning to the UML.
“It is not right for former president Bhandari to return to active politics. The decision made by UML regarding Bhandari is correct. The Nepali Congress too should make a similar decision,” Pariyar said.#nepal #political #rss
