A central leader of Nepali Congress (NC) Sujata Koirala has said that the 1990 Constitution should be revived to resolve the current problems faced by the country.
She said that reviving the 1990 statute without the King's power and authority and including provisions to accommodate Maoists is the need of the hour.
After the success of 2006 movement, the 1990 constitution had been scrapped and replaced by interim constitution of 2007.
Sujata also accused the Home Minister Krishna Sitaula of 'ambushing' the party and the country.
"In the hope that the Maoists will improve, the NC gave up all its stands. And now Sitaulaji has ambushed not only the party but also the country," said Sujata, who is also the daughter of Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala. She made the allegations pointing at the role played by Sitaula – who is also an NC leader - in reaching understanding with the Maoists on many occasions.
Speaking at an interaction at the Reporters Club, Saturday, she said that the parliament cannot declare republic.
