Kathmandu. KATHMANDU: Expert on federalism Dr Khimlal Devkota has said that the proposal of the National Independent Party General Convention statute to scrap the provincial assemblies was just a pipedream.
The party’s general convention in Chitwan has prioritized the proposal of statute amendment as well as the scrapping of the provincial structure and reduction of the local level in the political document.
Devkota says, “Even if all the political parties together want to scrap it, it cannot be scrapped permanently.” A day, a week, or a month may be canceled, but it will get worse. “
He called for an end to all forms of discrimination and oppression created by feudal, autocratic, centralized and unitary state system; He reminded the ruling party that the provision has been brought to empower and mainstream the excluded regions, classes and communities.
“The system of federalism is related to the rights and rights of the people who have been marginalized by the state for decades such as women, Dalits, Madhesis, Tharus, indigenous nationalities, Muslims, backward classes, minorities, persons with disabilities, marginalized, gender and sexual minorities as well as the citizens and communities of the oppressed or backward areas,” he said. And, he said, the provincial structure is synonymous with it. “
“To use federalism is to undermine the self-respect of these classes and communities,” he wrote in a warning style. It’s like teasing a ball of aringal. No one would have dreamed that it would be weak, scrapped, or scrapped. “
