Province 1, Sunsari, Itahari

The Rastriya Prajatantra Party has protested against the decision of the Election Commission as it recently had removed the portion of Hindu sate and monarchy from the RPP's statute. The party organized the protest rally in Itahari bazaar today. Addressing the rally, party leader and Minister for Culture and Civil Aviation Dilnath Giri said that the provision of Hindu state and constitutional monarchy were the fundamental principles of the party therefore, they could not compromise on them. He further warned of quitting the government if it was required. Minister Giri added that his party was committed to hold the local elections in stipulated date by but EC took this decision with bad intention. RSS राष्ट्रिय प्रजातन्त्र पार्टीले निर्वाचन आयोगद्वारा आफ्नो पार्टीको घोषित नीति संवैधानिक राजतन्त्र र हिन्दू राज्यप्रतिको विषयलाई हटाएको भन्दै आज त्यसविरुद्ध यहाँ विरोध प्रदर्शन गरेको छ । पार्टीको जुलुसले इटहरी बजारको परिक्रमा समेत गरेको छ । राप्रपा सुनसरी सभापति रोहित कार्कीको नेतृत्वमा निक्लिएको जुलुसमा राप्रपाका नेता दिलनाथ गिरीले पार्टीको मुख्य प्रस्तावमा नै उल्लेख भएको संवैधानिक राजतन्त्र र हिन्दू राज्यको धारणा हटाइदिएकाले परिआएको बेला सरकारबाट पनि हट्न सक्ने जिकिर गरे । राप्रपा निर्वाचनको पक्षमा रहेको र चाँडो र तोकिएकै समयमा निर्वाचन गराउनका लागि प्रतिबद्ध हुँदाहुँदै पनि आयोगले गलत नियत राखेर सो काम गरेको आरोप संस्कृति, पर्यटन तथा नागरिक उड्डयनमन्त्री गिरीले लगाए ।
