Constitution Day being observed today (kh 19/09/2024), Constitution guarantees rights for all citizens: PM Oli (kh 19/09/2027) [But definitely not equal rights.

The direct election system primarily serves to maintain this imbalance and does not bring political stability.

Consequently, all governments and parliaments since then would be illegitimate and should be dissolved immediately. While the former statement is entirely true, it does not help the country and its people in view of the chaos caused by the top politicians and now also the Hindu fundamentalists and monarchists!]
