Maoist leader Dev Gurung said, "The post of President is ceremonial but he is showing activism"

Talking to journalists at the Biratnagar airport Sunday morning, Maoist leader Dev Gurung said, "The post of President is ceremonial but he is showing activism to form the new government.an act which is against the constitution."

He criticised the newly elected President of not even notifying the Constituent Assembly -- which is also acting as the parliament -- of the Prime Minister's resignation even though so many days have passed.

"The parliament is entitled to form the government but it seems that the President himself is engaged in the process of forming one," he said, adding that although the people have given the mandate to his party to form the next government but few foreign power centers are working in close tandem to foil this.

He claimed that on the direction of these very foreign power centers that Vice President Parmananda Jha took his oath in Hindi.
