'Bhattarai has lost moral right to stay in govt

Nepali Congress (NC) General Secretary Prakash Man Singh on Saturday said Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai has lost the moral ground to stay in the government.

Taking a sarcastic jab at PM Bhattarai at a program in Bara, Singh said, “Our intellectual prime minister has legalized the decision carried out by the so-called ´people´s government´. This government has abused its authority and, therefore, it doesn´t have the moral right to continue.”

He argued that the move of the government to legalize the decisions taken by the ´people´s government´ of insurgency period was illegal and unconstitutional.

A recent cabinet meeting had decided to legalize land transactions such as land purchase, property sharing and other agreements that took place under the arbitration of the then Maoist “people´s government”.

General Secretary Singh expressed sadness that the intra-party dispute of UCPN (Maoist) has pushed the tasks of promulgating the new constitution and concluding the peace process to the back burner.
