Raj Parishad conferences to advise King
His Majesty's advisory body, the Raj Parishad is organising political conferences in all the five development regions to collect advice from people and to pass it unto the King regarding the current political problems, Kantipur daily said Tuesday.
This is the first time, after the restoration of democracy in 1990, that the Raj Parishad is organising such assemblies in the country, the daily said. Of late, such a conference was held in 2032 B.S by the then Raj Sabha (predecessor of Raj Parishad).
The Raj Parishad conference is scheduled to kick off from Dhangadhi this Wednesday, the newspaper said. "The three-day long Dhangadhi conference will discuss social, economic and other issues, including the Maoist problem and forward the outcome to His Majesty the King," said Parsu Narayan Chaudhary, chairman of Raj Parishad Standing Committee.
The present Constitution has not mentioned the rights and duties of Raj Parishad, the daily said. "So it is unclear whether such conferences will be constitutional." nepalnews.com mr Nov 11
