*Historic decision of Nepali Congress*

Mathura P. Shrestha

Today's decision of NC central committee to remove the word of 
constitutional monarchy from its constitution is a historic landmark. This 
is positive response of the party to the surging will of the people from all 
walks of life and of overwhelming majority of NC cadres. I am sure that the 
party's convention will adopt it unanimously. Some traditional persons 
showed their reservation as unnecessary move. That is natural. I am sure 
that they will hear voices of the peoples, their cadres and their own voices 
of conscience in a day or two and will support the change whole heartedly. 
Similarly, some are not satisfied as the change was not as explicit as 
democratic republicanism. I think that they too can celebrate the change as 
their victory. Democratic republicanism is automatically implied after the 
removal of constitutional monarchy from the constitution and because of the 
strongly committed mood of majority of the people and their cadres to 
support democratic republic. The people and cadres will interpret the 
positively at decisive moment. No fraction will be able to retreat from the 
historic decision. I congratulate the NC leadership for the brave stand in 
the crucial hours of the struggle for the democracy.
