UML trying to kill republicanism and federalism: Yadav

Chairman of the Federal Socialist Forum Nepal, Upendra Yadav has accused the CPN-UML of trying to kill pro-change agendas like republicanism and federalism under the pretext of nationalism.


Claiming that the CPN-UML has been actively trying to kill achievements like federalism and republicanism and pushing the country towards a civil war, Yadav said the UML's nationalism was of the Panchayat time.

‘‘CPN-UML is creating a plot by instigating people, asking them to come out on the streets against the constitution amendment bill. This is a plot against federalism and the democratic republic," Yadav said addressing a regional mass gathering at Pakadi, Kapilvastu on Friday. Lashing out at the UML, Yadav accused the party of instigating communal conflict in the country.

Yadav even warned that his party would not let the elections take place if the constitution is not amended as per their demand.
