Kathmandu: The leaders of Nepal’s Opposition alliance on Saturday decided to take all legal and political means to counter Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli and President Bidya Devi Bhandari’s “unconstitutional and undemocratic” move of dissolving the House of Representatives.

In a joint statement issued at the end of a meeting called to discuss the matter, the Opposition leaders expressed their commitment to unitedly defend the constitutional rights of Nepali citizens achieved at the end of years of political struggle.

They appealed to all political and civil forces to condemn and stand against the Oli-Bhandari duo’s regressive, autocratic intentions, The Himalayan Times reported.

The Opposition alliance condemned its move as “unconstitutional, undemocratic and arbitrary” and is devising a strategy to approach the Supreme Court with all its lawmakers on Sunday demanding to scrap the president’s decision.
