KATHMANDU, May 11: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli reaffirmed the government's unwavering commitment to protecting the Constitution and strengthening Nepal's federal democratic republican system.
Responding to questions during Sunday's discussion at the House of Representatives on the government's policy and program, Oli warned that the government would strongly resist any attempt by regressive forces to revive the feudal system.

He recalled that the Nepali people had ended centuries of feudal rule through the historic movement of 2006, turning Nepal into a federal democratic republic. "This Constitution, born of the past movements, firmly rejects outdated systems rooted in ethnic supremacy and hereditary rule," he said.
Oli expressed concern that recent political instability had encouraged misleading narratives aimed at restoring feudalism and the monarchy. He emphasized that the government's proposed policy and program reflect a clear commitment to defending the Constitution, consolidating the republic, and countering regressive forces. "We will not let the people's sacrifices go in vain. This honorable House will stand united to protect these achievements," he declared.
The prime minister also pledged to review the Constitution, reinforce its strong provisions, and correct weaknesses in its implementation through political consensus.
Highlighting the importance of policy continuity and political stability, Oli said the government would promote healthy competition, dialogue, and cooperation among political parties. Reiterating the principle of uninterrupted governance, he assured that the current administration would continue constitutionally and legally sound policies initiated by the previous government. "We will persist in our efforts to safeguard constitutional stability and ensure consistent governance," he added.
