President of Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP-Nepal) Rabindra Nath Sharma has said that the institution of monarchy is necessary to preserve national unity and integrity.
"In order to save national unity and integrity, the institution of monarchy is necessary," said Sharma, addressing a press meet at the end of two-day national gathering of his party in Lalitpur on Tuesday.
Sharma said that at present the national unity is in a 'dangerous position.'
He also said that the recent second amendment of constitution whereby two-third majority of MPs can vote out the monarchy is unacceptable. Sharma said that even the Constituent Assembly cannot decide the fate of monarchy. "Only referendum can do so," he added.
Sharma-led RPP-Nepal has said that it will follow the policy supporting constitutional monarchy and Hindu nation.
Meanwhile, protesting RPP-Nepal's former president and former Home Minister Kamal Thapa's comments on monarchy and against eight parties, the activists of eight parties of Thapa's home district Makwanpur have decided not to allow RPP-Nepal to stage any programme in the district.
