I am making efforts to find solution within constitutional framework: Prez

KATHMANDU: President Ram Chandra Paudel has said that he is engaged in consultations and making every effort to find a solution to the ongoing crisis within the constitutional framework and to ensure the protection of democracy and maintenance of law and order in the country.

Issuing an appeal on Thursday, the President urged all stakeholders to trust that every effort is being made to swiftly address the concerns raised by the protesting citizens.

“I appeal to all sides to help maintain peace and order in the country with restraint,” President Paudel said, adding that finding a timely solution to the ongoing crisis is his top priority at the moment.

The President’s appeal has come at a time when people are questioning his absence during talks with Gen Z representatives regarding the formation of an interim government. Some had even suggested on social media platforms that the President could be under house arrest.
