Thapa further said that, initially it was their party agenda. But now, the general public has taken to it as well. Whether people want it reinstated or not, they are talking about it, so all parties must meet to discuss this issue. He said that if other political parties do not realise the seriousness of the dissolution of the Parliament, then the country is heading towards a period of darkness. Recently, high-ranking officials from India and China had been in Nepal to solve problems within the ruling party. He said that they cannot let others dictate them.
