Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba on May 28 said that President Bidhya Devi Bhandari and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli had put democracy at stake, reports The Himalayan Times. Addressing a virtual even organized to mark the 30th establishment day of Nepal Press Union in Kathmandu, he alleged that both Bhandari and Oli had grossly violated the constitution. "We approached the president with the signature of majority of lawmakers after she called on political parties representing the HoR to stake their claim on the prime ministerial post in accordance with Sub-article (5) of Article 76 of the constitution. But the president did not appoint the person, who commanded majority, as prime minister. Instead, she dissolved the HoR overnight in collusion with Oli. Had she doubted the signature of majority lawmakers, she should have asked the signatories to present themselves physically. The incumbent president and prime minister are threats to democracy and I appeal to all political forces to stand united against their interference in the democratic system," Deuba said.
