KATHMANDU, Sep 13: Eight political parties represented in the now-dissolved House of Representatives have called on President Ram Chandra Paudel to revoke the dissolution of Parliament and ensure that the demands of Gen Z are addressed through an elected government.
The major political parties, including the Nepali Congress (NC), CPN-UML, CPN (Maoist Centre), CPN (Unified Socialist), Janata Samajbadi Party, Janamat Party, Loktantrik Samajbadi Party, and Nagarik Unmukti Party, issued a joint statement calling the move an attack on the constitution.

The statement said: “We strongly demand that the decision to dissolve the House of Representatives be immediately withdrawn and that a session of Parliament be convened so the demands of the people and the protesting groups can be addressed through a democratically elected institution.”
On Friday, President Ram Chandra Paudel dissolved the House of Representatives on the recommendation of newly appointed Prime Minister Sushila Karki, fulfilling one of the key demands of the Gen Z movement.
It further said: “This act undermines the voting rights of the Nepali people and strikes at constitutional supremacy and the constitution itself.”
