Kathmandu, Sept 30 (ANI): Nepali Congress Vice-President Ram Chandra Poudel has criticised the CPN (Maoist) for publicly speaking against the existing parliamentary system, cautioning that it would only contribute to making the Prime Minister "authoritarian".
Prime Minister Prachanda, a few weeks ago reportedly said that his party neither has faith in "formal parliamentary democracy" nor can it establish a communist state immediately.
Comparing the remark made by Prachanda to the stance adopted by late king Mahendra which ultimately led him to dismiss the first elected government of Nepal in 1960, Poudel said both these remarks were "anti-democratic".
Speaking at a programme here on Monday, Poudel said that the UML was also afflicted with the tendency to oppose democracy much like the Maoists.
Earlier, Poudel said that the Maoists' lust for weapons and combatants shows that they are still "war-minded".
He demanded that the Maoist take immediate initiative for the implementation of past pacts and understanding to end the conflict situation and return the properties they had seized to date, Nepalnews reported. (ANI)
