Former Prime Minister and president of the opposition party Nepali Congress (NC) Girija Prasad Koirala Thursday said his party follows the principles of socialism.
President Koirala of the largest opposition party and the second largest party in the Constituent Assembly (CA), NC, said his party would follow socialist principles which are a combined form of parliamentary democracy and communism.
Koirala made the address at a function organized by the party's student wing, the Nepal Student Union (NSU), in Kathmandu Thursday morning.
Koirala criticized the statement by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal "Prachanda", also the chairman of the single largest CA party, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN-M), that Nepal now would have neither a parliamentary system nor a communist rule, local news website Nepalnews.com reported.
Koirala said if Prime Minister Prachanda wanted a socialist approach of governance, it was one initiated by the Nepali Congress since its inception. He urged the CPN-M leadership "not to attack democratic principles," according to the report.
