PM Koirala also flayed the recent controversial remarks made by Minister for Trade, Commerce and Supply Rajendra Mahato and regretted such irresponsible remarks from a person in a responsible position.
Mahato had said that the people of hill community living in the Terai would have to flee if they were not ready to be ruled by the Madhesis.
PM Koirala further said that there was no need to declare republic from an interim legislature parliament stating that the task of bringing the country into republican set up has been finished 80 percent and it would be came to an end when the king’s rights would be curbed.
