Kathmandu, Nepal: The Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has on Saturday concluded to protest the Election Commission (EC) decision to remove the provision of Hindu state and monarchy.
An emergency meeting of the RPP held on Saturday concluded to seek ‘constitutional remedy’ against the EC decision.
With the decision, the RPP would move to the Supreme Court (SC) seeking order against the EC decision to remove the provision of Hindu state and monarchy from the party’s statue.
The RPP has requested the Election Commission to rethink over the decision.
The EC had on Friday decided to remove the portion of the RPP’s statue that advocates Hindu state and monarchy with the conclusion that the revisions of the constitution contradict to the constitutional provisions.
The meeting has termed the EC decision as an objectionable and against sentiments of the Constitution.
As the Constitution has guaranteed freedom of expression and organization, the RPP does not accept the decision which would forbid the party’s principal norm, reads the statement.
The RPP has also decided to launch a nationwide protest demanding reinstatement of the Hindu state.
