Nepali Congress (NC) has withdrawn its support to the government led by CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda'.
Likewise, the party has decided to effectively play opposition role in the parliament.
A meeting of the NC central work execution committee held at the Budhanilakantha-based residence of party President Sher Bahadur Deuba today took the decision, informed general-secretary Biswo Prakash Sharma.
Expressing commitment to the promises jointly made in the general election held on 20 November 2022 and the voters' mandate through the polls, the NC said the party however has withdrawn its support to the government with disagreement after Prime Minister Dahal decided to collaborate with other political parties in an untrusted manner by ignoring the mandate.
General-secretary Sharma further said the meeting drew a conclusion that the coalition was broken in a pre-mediated way when there was a pressing need to speed up economic reforms, safeguard the Constitution and consolidate the federal democratic republic system and rekindle hope among the people.
NC has also drawn a conclusion that the move of PM Dahal has promoted uncertainty and instability in the country.
Taking the incident with a serious note, NC has decided to play effective role of the opposition in the parliament.
NC has also appealed to its members, well-wishers and supporters at home and abroad to remain united with commitment to the party's organization in the changed circumstances and discharge own responsibility toi the country and the Nepali citizens.
