Kathmandu- Referring to former President Bidhya Devi Bhandari, CPN-UML Deputy Secretary General Pradeep Gyawali has said that it is not appropriate for a person who has become a constitutional head of state to return to party politics.

At a press conference organized in Butwal, he made this statement while responding to a question from journalists about whether former President Bidhya Devi Bhandari is going to return to UML. In fact, a few days ago, at a press conference held in Biratnagar, Bhandari herself had said that if the country and the people felt the need, she could return to party politics for the country and if so, she would return to the UML party.

Speaking at a press conference, Deputy Secretary General Gyawali said that the ordinance brought by the government to ensure economic transformation and good governance has shown enthusiasm in the private sector and the bill to regulate social media registered in Parliament will keep everyone in dignity, maintain press freedom, and protect everyone from misinformation. He said that the current coalition has been formed for stability in the country and the government has worked to dispel some of the frustration.
