'UML won't accept ethnic federalism'
NEPALGUNJ, FEB 02 -
CPN-UML Vice Chairman Bidya Devi Bhandari has said that the party will not accept ethnic federalism with special rights for ethnic group with identity.
Claiming that fresh conflict will surface in the country due to the establishment of ethnicity-based federalism, Bhandari said, "The country will head towards ethnic war if the concerned authority fails to use its brain on time."
She claimed that some elements have been seen within the political parties who are trying to bring conflict in the country due to the extension of transitional phase.
Speaking at a press meet organised by Press Chautari in Nepalgunj, Bhandari said the Constituent Assembly has been a 'circus' for the caucus parties. She was hinting towards Indigenous lawmakers'.
Also on the occasion, Bhandari revealed that three different opinions on federalism have been seen within the UML as well.
She said the CA should be dissolved if constitution is not drafted within the given deadline.
Bhandari who was supporting Baburam Bhattarai-led government said that he should resign from the post as his government has failed to take the peace process to a logical conclusion and draft constitution on time.
