question_answer 15)

A friend from Nepal has written you a letter describing the politics situation there. Many political parties are opposing the rule of the king. Some of them say that the existing Constitution given by the monarch can be amended to allow more powers to elected representatives. Others are demanding a new Constituent Assembly to write a Republican Constitution. Reply to your friend giving your opinions on the subject.

Answer:

Dear friends, As per your letter, there are two groups in Nepal. One group wants the monarchy to continue but his powers to be curtailed and is in favour of more powers to elected representatives by amending the existing Constitution. The other group wants a new Constituent Assembly to write a Republican Constitution and put an end to monarchy forever. However, in Nepal an agreement has already been signed between the king and the alliance of seven political parties opposing the king. According to this, the form of government in Nepal will be a 'Constitutional Monarchy'. In my opinion, the rule by the king should be ended and afresh republican Constitution should be written.   Truly yours ...........
