Nepal’s main political parties have requested the country’s president Ram Chandra Pobel to restore parliament, which he has dissolved after deadly anti -corruption protests.

In a statement, eight countries – including the Nepalese Congress, CPN -uml and Maoist Center – said the president had acted unconstitutional.

Poudel dissolved the House of Representatives on Friday on the recommendation of the newly appointed temporary Prime Minister Drye Carki – this was also a key request from the protest movement.

More than 50 people were killed in clashes with Riot Police this week, mass protests caused by a ban on social media platforms. Kuki was appointed after a deal with protesters leaders.

The statement on Saturday requesting the restoration of parliament was signed by the main whips of the eight political parties.

They claim that the step taken by the President is also unconstitutional against the precedents designated by Nepal’s judiciary.

The termination of parliament was a great request by student leaders from the so -called Gen Z protest movement.

But the eight parties claim that the demands of protesters – including the new elections announced for March 5 next year – must be addressed through an institution voted by people.

President Pudda is yet to be publicly responsible for the statement of political parties.

Kuki, a 73-year-old former chief judge of the Supreme Court and the first woman to lead the impoverished Himalayan nation, had been sworn in during a short ceremony in the capital Kathmandu.

She is expected to appoint ministers to her office within a few days.

It is considered a pure image and its leadership of the intermediate government is supported by student leaders from the Gen Z movement.

But her cabinet will face many challenges, including the restoration of the law and the order, the reconstruction of parliament and other key buildings that have been attacked, soothing Gen Z protesters who want change – and others in Nepal who are afraid of his young democracy and constitutional order can be derailed.

Another key task will be to bring responsibility for violence to justice.

Nepal gradually returns to the normality after the oldest excitement of decades.

Nepal’s soldiers – who were located to patrol the streets of Kathmandu – returned to their bases after Karki was sworn in.

The protests were triggered by the government’s decision last week to ban 26 social media platforms, including WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook – but they soon expanded to embody a much deeper dissatisfaction with Nepal’s political elite.

During the weeks before the ban on the “Business” campaign – projecting the lavish lifestyle of the children of politicians and accusations of corruption – retreated to social media.

And while the ban on social media was quickly raised on Monday night, protests to this stage accumulated an irresistible speed.
