How has the Nepali Congress reacted to the royal proclamation of February First?
Before you ask me questions, tell me if you can or can't publish my answers. If you can, this is the opinion of the Nepali Congress: we do not agree with the royal step.

You have announced a movement.
Our movement will be a powerful, non-violent satyagraha. We have asked all those who want democracy to come to the streets and all democratic forces to unite and work for this movement.

Is the NC ready to cooperate with the Maoists?
Until they renounce violence and give up arms, we can't work with them.

How are you trying to involve the NC-D?
We don't want just a working solidarity, we want party unification. The Congress must work as one. All democratic forces need to join hands, putting aside their differences. Only then can we solve the national crisis.

Will the people join you on the streets?
The Nepali people want democracy. If they don't come to the streets today, they will come tomorrow. They will not compromise on their rights to constitutional monarchy and multiparty democracy.
