CPN-UML senior leader and former Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal has lashed out at Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba for his remarks that he would not let the KP Sharma Oli-led government to celebrate the ‘honeymoon period’.

“I have heard that the new government will not be allowed to celebrate the honeymoon period,” said leader Nepal while addressing the Parliament meeting on Tuesday. “Deuba himself should face the consequences,” he added.

He also urged the main opposition NC not to be scared of the government of left alliance which is close a two-thirds majority.

“UML and left forces are in support of the rule of law,” he said.

Saying that the opposition party is also called as the ‘waiting government’, leader Nepal urged the opposition parties to play a vital role to help the government.

Arguing that various state bodies have been creating obstructions in the government’s functioning, he said: “Government is not allowed to work effectively, sometimes by parliamentary committee, sometimes by CIAA and sometimes by court.”
