Can't you remove the prime minister through a vote of no confidence, which is a constitutional process?
A A vote of no confidence is a political issue. We are not saying that a Congress government should not be formed. We strongly believe that since the Congress has a majority in parliament, they should form the government. Corruption is a civil case. This is an accusation against a person. Since the PM is involved in a case of corruption, we demand that he resign on moral grounds. If the courts declare him innocent, he can return and we will welcome him. But just having a majority does not mean that you can do everything and anything that pleases you.

Q Why can't you gather dissatisfied MPs of the Congress and move a vote of no confidence?
A To save this country from corruption and to save democracy, everyone has to come together. We have been telling the Congress that they should not shelter people involved in corruption, people who have civil cases filed against them. It is a case of corruption, and action should be taken, regardless of who is involved. We must all protest this and take action. The help of MPs from all parties is
"Having a majority does not mean that you can do everything and anything that pleases you."
necessary for this.

Q If the PM does not resign, what is the alternative?
A The stand taken by the PM is against the working of a democratic parliamentary system. This will create more problems in the long run for the country, democracy and the people. There is no alternative for the PM, and all he can now do is resign. If he persists with the type of behaviour he has shown, then this will only create more problems. If he is innocent, he can go to the CIAA, give his statement and return. If he is proved innocent we will welcome him. He is only creating more problems for himself and the country in the coming days. He should take this seriously. It will be beneficial for him.

Q Will you be able to remove him by taking to the streets if all other means fail?
A. After being involved in the Lauda issue Koirala should resign. We have raised this issue in parliament.
